The big day. My best friend Doug got married to his fiancee Kathy. I was best man, and buddies Paul & Sean flew in for "the big day".
At Doug & Kathy's house, getting ready to leave for the wedding |
Doesn't the thumbnail make his nose appear huge? |
"Where's my girl? Let's get this wedding over with." |

Guess who's drunk? Come on, I'll give you one guess. |

Unfortunately, this is the best shot of me giving my toast |
Cutting the cake |
Eating the cake [I really don't see the big deal about this shot, but people love it] |
And for a private joke among you readers: she's "Ms. Filet Mignon with Cheese". Stunning, isn't it? |
Among the drunks, even Paulie got into the act with the toasting |
Okay, dude, seriously, why would you wear that to a wedding? |
Congrats, you two crazy kids. I'm all verklempt. |
Some random photos. Please randomly enjoy them.

Childhood Matt & our Joshua |
It may not seem the most exciting month in the history of Ipe. We visited Philip & Leena, and attended Cynthia & AJ's wedding. There are also plenty of March family photos to view. Stop griping.

I like that he rolled up his sleeves to really drink his milk |

A somewhat decent family photo |
We had a "Christmas / Thanks for helping us move" party.
Leena and her daughter Alisha took TWO trains to come visit us. They stayed overnight, and we had lots of fun. It wasn't quite a pajama party, but maybe next time.
It's bedtime |
A little ice cream for the kids |
Yeah, the kids |
Lactaid makes ice cream! |

Alisha & I built a mansion and a tower |
