After the Wedding!

I have had so much fun looking at everyone else's pictures of Jana and Jared's wedding. Yesterday I went on Snapfish and made a collage of pictures for a postcard-fun! I took pictures too, and will put some on, but I am really looking forward to seeing the ones Jared's aunt and cousin took. They were there early and were still getting pictures as we cleaned up near midnight!
The wedding was wonderful! The weather was incredible-from a three hour delay in Milwaukee because of bad storms in Dallas, to 95 degrees and humid, to perfect perfect weather for the wedding and Mother's birthday celebration on Saturday. We had hot and humid, but Friday and Saturday were 75 ish and no humidity-a nice breeze, blue sky-gorgeous. I was so glad that Haley got some pictures of the sky!!
It was great fun to have all our girls together to celebrate Jana and Jared's marriage. Emily and Jon drove from Colorado Springs with their new puppy Zeb, Haley and Bill flew from Marquette, Michigan, and Jesse from Athens, Ohio ( Eric had to hold down the fort at home and take care of their dogs-missed him!) La Quinta in Weatherford was an amazing place for us all to gather around the pool. Many said it was like being in Lago Vista at Clause grandparents' house. Wonderful to have my two brothers and wives together with my mother. Jeff and Leizl from South Africa and their children Thomas and Lindsey from Austin and brother Tom and his wife Molly bringing my mother from Iowa. Wish Meredith and Hilary could have joined us.
Special guests Linda and Larry Phillips from Marinette, Wisconsin and Joan and Steve Bisset from Laurel, Maryland.
Jana's high school friend Elisa Anderson and her husband Travis, stood up in the wedding and traveled from Marinette as well.
