Michael and I traveled to Denver Colorado over the Memorial Day weekend to attend the wedding of Nicole Ahnen and Ben Jacobs. Nicole is the youngest daughter of Mikes cousin Dennis and wife Carol Ahnen. We stayed with them when Patrick was treated at National Jewish Center in Denver for his asthma...20 years ago!!! They are special to us as they provided much love and emotional support at a difficult time for our family.
We celebrated with sister Fran and husband Harry which was wonderful!
The sun glasses were supplied for the cocktail hour at the reception that was on an outside deck overlooking downtown Denver at the History Center of Denver.
The wedding was ceremony was beautiful and there was not a dry eye in the place for all the happiness. Nicole and Ben have been dating for 15 years so it made everyone very happy that the wedding finally came together. They are a wonderful couple who provided their guests with a true reaffirmation of what marriage means and the joy of love. We were very glad we could attend.
The couple planned the wedding on "wedding Tuesdays" which was their common day off and they did a great job. The wedding party traveled to the reception in the vintage cars above...very fun!
I made Ben and Nicole a quilt...the third for this family of girls...and I think they like it. I promised Nicole at the last wedding that I would make her one if she did not get married by the time she was 35. Luckily Ben came thru and proposed so that was not an issue..I was sure it would be ok.
We returned to Traverse City on Memorial Day...a long travel day for us but we made it home safe.
I cannot end with out including a picture of Seamus Patrick and Timothy. He is three weeks old not and is thriving. Still has all that hair and is eating and sleeping well... Lucky Timothy and Casey!! I want to hug him and kiss his chubby cheeks!!
We are going to the cabin this weekend..Mike can hardly wait.. and hope for some nice weather. Raining here for a few days but we always need the rain...the lawns look wonderful.
Kathy and Michael
Looks like great fun. Hope the weekend was fine at the cabin and that the trout were biting and not the Mosquitos.
