A year ago son Tony and new daughter-in-law Lynn were married!  Wow.  We were all so busy last fall with all the preparations.  They had a wonderful October day for the wedding, and we couldn’t be more pleased to have Lynn in our family.  Here is a little photo collage to commemorate their 1st Anniversary (you can click on the photo once, maybe twice if there’s still a + sign, to enlarge the photo).

A year goes by so quickly.  Then it’s ten years, suddenly twenty, thirty, etc., etc.  So I guess the lesson today is to enjoy every single day with the love of your life.  Even the ordinary days.  Maybe ESPECIALLY the ordinary days.

Love you guys,

Mom

(p.s.:  I forget that not everybody was at the wedding!  DH Jim got to walk Lynn down the aisle as her family is all in China, and they were unable to come here.  To celebrate both cultures, we had a Chinese meal for the rehearsal dinner (first picture), and American food for the reception dinner.  Lynn’s brides’ maids wore qipao (CHEE-pow) dresses, which were custom made in China.  Lynn also wore a qipao for the rehearsal dinner.  I passed on the opportunity to wear one.  The idea of custom-fit shiny fabric on a body shaped like a sausage didn’t sound very pleasing to the eye.  They are just adorable though on the young women!)
