Mike and Erica's Wedding

We spent the most wonderful long weekend in Portland for Mike and Erica's wedding a few weeks ago. It was great to have the whole family together again to celebrate such a glorious occasion. We are so grateful to have sweet, beautiful Erica in our family now. Her family was so sweet to us while we were there.

Here's the entire Alexander clan

This is Erica's family. Her sweet mother, Melinda, had to leave the reception early due to severe health concerns. This broke our hearts, but we were glad she at least got to see them walk down the aisle. She is feeling better now, thankfully. Our prayers are always with this sweet family.

The night before the wedding, we had a great time at Erica's bridal shower. We got to meet and visit with her mom, seated next to Erica.

Welcome Little Maximus Royal!!!

Little Max arrived last Saturday, July 27, at 6:30 am by emergency Casaerean section, to Missy and Adam. He is perfect in every way- 9 lbs 4 oz, 20.5 inches long, with olive skin and dark brown hair. Max is sweet and peaceful, and sleeps really well. Adam Jack loves him. He gives him kisses and then says, "Nice." He also tries really hard to correctly pronounce his brother's name, which ends up sounding like this; "Mat-kah-ss."
We are so grateful for the healthy, happy arrival of this new little one!
"Nice!"Put up your dukes.
