Our good friends from college got married this year on Ron's birthday! Jason and Dana have been together as long as Ron and I have, so after 10 years, everyone was waiting to celebrate! They had a wonderful day, and Ron and I would not have missed it for anything. They are special people to us :) This was also our first Catholic wedding we've ever witnessed, which was really interesting. James did a stellar job, sleeping through most of it, and not even squeaking a lot! He was the only baby at the wedding, and one of two children at the whole thing... that's us in the background and to the right :)
Inside the mansion where the reception took place. We all gathered in the foyer there where they served champagne with raspberries in it for the toasts... very classy. Did I mention we were the only one with a baby there? Everyone else either didn't have babies, were keeping them with the nanny, or they were off at boarding school. Yeah, we'd never been to that type of wedding before :) 
Our other good friend from college, Beejay, was one of the groomsmen. James is wearing his "monkey suit" here. har har. Really, he looked quite dapper before the jammies :) 
the band. people stayed and danced the night away. Then they attending an after party, which we were invited to. Again, har har :) We went back to the hotel after a dreary eyed James (and his harried parents) finally had enough party. He was really good through most of it :) It would have been nice to hang around more, but we are parents now, it really does change your life! We got up early the next morning, about 4:30 or 5, in order to head home to see my brother and his family as soon as we could :)

Great updates, Jo! Thanks for posting all the pictures. Still cannot believe how much James looks like you - though in a few of the shots, I can see Ron too. Tell Ron Claire has been saying "Uncle Ron" lately, so it's time to Skype! Love you!
