She Calls Me Daddy

This spring Josh took a class at Elmbrook that focused on father-daughter relationships. He learned a lot from the class (and the book by the same name!). At the end of the class they had an event where the dads brought their daughters in for a special time together! Before heading off to church, Josh took Julia out to her choice of restaurant (she wanted a McDonald's happy meal) for a daddy daughter date! We dressed Julia up in her best dress and Josh put on his church clothes too! They came home with a wonderful report of a special time together! Here they are, dancing!

The Wedding

Waiting for the time to put their wedding clothes on
The wedding was at the former Club Med Resort Hotel in San Carlos, Mexico
The groom came in on a jetski
Katie was the maid of honor

"You may kiss your bride!"

Hotel Life


It was a treat to have dinner outside on the picnic table! Not too cold!
I found a recipe online for biscuits that are "baked" in a skillet - it WORKED! They tasted just like the ones we make in the oven!
Hors d'oeuvres before dinner...

This was one of the lunch times we had Grandma & Grandpa in for a meal.

Shooting the breeze in the early afternoon shade.
The pool was very cold so they never stayed in very long!
The boys did 100 jumps into the pool for a number of days in a row - a good technique for staying warm!




The boys did homework in the courtyard, on different picnic tables so they could concentrate.


It was tight but we made it work - the hotel gave us a couple of extra chairs so we could all sit around the table at the same time!
Snack time in the courtyard. They were trying apple-flavored soda.
Katrina had to get in on the action.
More homework. This was one of the earlier days - it got warmer the longer we were there.
