In August, Kari’s brother Brent got married in Seattle. It was a really fantastic trip with all of Kari’s siblings (the first time we have vacationed together in more than 20 years). We enjoyed shopping, the ferry to Brainbridge Island, a Marlin’s games & the wedding festivities. We laughed a lot (especially about Kip’s wardrobe because his luggage spent most of the vacation trying to get to Seattle) and there were also a lot of tears. Alex and Krista joined us as well as Tanya’s sisters, Judy & Debra. Some nice family memories were made

and Brent and Michelle seemed very happy.
