Kinda fun to be in my spot these days. You see, my wife babysat Taryn as a small child. Taryn’s mom and my mother in law have been friends since before Erin, Taryn, or even I was born. Taryn’s mom Alice has been like a mom away from mom to both Erin and I since we moved to Chattanooga. So it is a pleasure and an honor to be part of these two’s wedding. Congratulations guys… and congratulations Doug and Alice we love you much.

Here is part two. We all went downtown for an Architectural Boat Tour. Along the way we stopped at Millennium Park to check out the Bean and ducked in a shop or two. Then while we waited for the tour to start we had lunch at Dick’s Last Resort. After the tour, Jon met up with a friend for a few minutes while the rest of us went to Garrett’s Popcorn to get our fix. Caught the train back to Rusty and Lynette’s apartment before heading back to Jon and Sarah’s. Full day!

Guess this really should be part 1 but I pulled these pics off my phone after I did the others :) These were all from my phone camera.

Erin and I went to Chicago for the fourth of July. We go there on Wednesday and stayed through Saturday. Sounds like a lot longer than it felt. A bunch of Erin’s cousins came in from around the country and we all gathered at her sister Sarah and her husband Jon’s house in Lombard, IL.

My camera is on the fritz again so I only have a handful of photos. Most of these were on July 3rd while sitting around in the front yard and then a few on the 4th. I will be posting a few pics from my cell phone from the Architectural Tour we took as well in a separate post. See the notes in the popup for any pertinent information.

I met Josh and Tara at Signal Point on Tuesday for there engagement session. It was glorious. The weather was great and the haze was low. I loved it. After that we went downtown. I am getting tired so I am going ot just post the pics since that is what this is about anyway :)
