Well,

Another week into September and I am already enjoying the cooler weather and rain.  This last weekend marked a significant milestone in the life of my sister-in-law Kaci.  She got married!!! Congrats to her and her new beaming husband Mikel Hoppman.  It was a great event and of course Zaden was there dressed in proper wedding attire.  He was given the job of honorary ring bearer, but he didn't really have to do that much.  In fact, he just slept, and that was okay with me. 

Weddings are a very special time and should be honored and celebrated with family and friends.  The mark the beginning of one of God's best gifts, Marriage.  And for all of you guys who make the joke about weddings being more of funeral than a celebration, you know you wouldn't be who you are today without your wives.  Needless to say, there weren't any somber faces at Kaci's wedding just one sleepy one....not me....Zaden.

Anyway, in addition to my sister-in-law's wedding, today (technically yesterday since this is so late) was my Dad's birthday.  Happy 55th birthday Dad!!!  I have no fear writing anything at this point about him since I know that he will never sit down at a computer and read this blog.  He has a rare condition known as compumonia which causes him to moan and groan with gastrointestinal pain anytime he is near a computer.  He also comes down with the condition when my Mom sits down at their computer.  But I do wish him a happy birthday and I am thankful, now more than ever as a dad myself, for all the effort he put in over the years to raise us kids.  It can be tough work being a dad, even if my dad managed to avoid those dirty diapers.

In closing, I will leave you with a picture of sisters.  The photo says it all, let me know what you think of Zaden's tux in the comments.
