My New Nephew :)

He's here! He was excited to come meet us all too :) My sister wasn't due until Sept 14, but Brayden Michael Kelly decided to arrive Sept 10th at 6:59pm, weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. He is such a cutie pie. Here are his pictures and I'll let his cuteness speak for itself.

Hi, my name is Brayden. I'm new here!

Oh, I don't know if I like it out here yet!

Proud Papa

Proud (but oh so tired) Mama.

Getting to meet Great Grandma Faye for the first time!

¹³People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ¹⁵I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." ¹⁶And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

Chrissy and Adam's Wedding

In August I road tripped it down to Sebastopol, CA for a dear friend's wedding. On our way we stayed in a gross hotel, and endured the craziest winding road ever created on the face of the planet. I barely was able to keep breakfast down... ugh. I get sick just thinking back to it. But when we made it to Sebastopol Jessica and I wasted no time in checking out the local wineries. It was so much fun and we learned a lot about wine and each bought a bottle to bring home with us. Then we took mom and dad to the brewery before we all freshened up to go to the Rehersal dinner at The Union Hotel.

The next day we took of to the beach and lazed around soaking up some sun before the wedding that evening. Devoto Gardens (Chrissy's home) was gorgeous! The bride and groom had smiles all night long and everyone had a GREAT time enjoying good music and good food!


On the trip down. I just don't feel these pictures do this road justice. It is a cruel road and an unusual kind of punishment when you are just trying to make it to a friend's wedding! Can you tell I'm still not quite over the torture of it? I've never been so carsick in my life! These are two different pictures, they just look very similar as that is what the whole road looked like.

Some of the views we enjoyed as we relaxed on the beach pre-wedding.


























Now the good stuff. Here are just a few but some of my favorites from the wedding :)
