Powers Blog Site: Blah Blah Blog

I'm trying something different. I may be a blogger now rather than a commenter.

Jesse's wedding went very well. Maria and I arrived at the Corpus Christi airport within 10 minutes of Noah's arrival. We rented a car and all drove to Port Aransas (the island). We had booked a condo at the Dunes where Jesse works. You get more than a room. It's a condo with 2 bedrooms, a fold out couch. A kitchen, TV etc. Of course we had to pay $280/night! We also had to pay for three nights even though we only stayed 2. Double ouch!

The wedding was just outside the Dunes on the beach. It was 100 (110 heat index). Many of Jesse's and Tiffiny's friends came as well as her parents. Peg and Danai were there too so we have a FULL family picture (Mike, Maria, Peg, Danai, Jesse, Noah).

After the ceremony there was great food and music at the Dunes for a couple of hours. We had awesome smoked brisket with tasty barbeque sauce, baked beans, potatoe (Quail spelling) salad, fruit etc and lots of beer and wine. I took many pictures and shot video too as did Noah. I'll find a way to post some good shots and a short video or two at some point.

We have a full August with Magic conventions and a few band gigs. After that maybe we can make a visit to the Pontiac/Highland area and get everyone together.

More later...

hello powers people


i hope this site takes off for the family. i love emails, etc. but this is a fun way to keep in touch and stay up-to-date! :)

well, you guys all know that we've been busy with the new little guy. he is something. i thought that leo ate a lot. sawyer makes leo look like a light-weight. that means more bottle feeding and less breast feeding. i'm kinda sad cause it's a bonding thing but it's nice to share the feedings and if i only breast fed, he'd be stuck to me 24/7!

i go back to work july 21 (2 days/week) and leo and lyra will go to day camp those 2 days. they are super excited! sawyer will go to a daycare. i'm lucky to only have to work 2 days at this point. it's a nice way to ease sawyer into daycare (and me into leaving my little one).

well, that's about it for now. oh, and i wish i could go to jesse's wedding! mike, please let him know that i miss him and wish him all the best!!

oh, i didn't mention eric but the picture illustrates what he's been up to - being super dad, as usual! :)
