Week's end

This week one of my cousins suggested we start a family Trivial Pursuit game--all questions about our family, the stories, our history. We came up with some questions from back in the day, but I think this week was more about creating a bunch of new questions. Every time we get together, things happen that make it into the family lore--this week it was wedding singing, and a crazy baseball injury--plus plenty of family gossip and chat and laughing until our faces hurt.

Whenever a week like this is trailing to an end, I find myself trying to hold on--to find one more thing to look forward to. We had the wedding, which is why we were all here, but then I told myself we STILL had the family reunion, and then we still had talking last night until the early morning, and then today, we still had some games and the final goodbye. But there's nothing left now--things are officially over, and it's back to real life and work tomorrow.

The more active I'm being, the fewer pics I'm taking--so here are a few from sitting around our table at the wedding.
