Weddings and Memorials

-
People always say that family reunions always happen at weddings or funerals. We Borovacs had the luck (?) to have them both in one weekend. Hey - we're nothing if not efficient.

Bill and I were happy to make the trek to our old stomping grounds in Seattle for Nikki's wedding. She was even more stunning than she normally is, and we all had a wonderful time. When Owen first saw Nikki in her wedding dress, he asked Bill with a small amount of awe... 'Is she a princess???' And she was! Mackay, who actually was willing to sit through the ceremony with me while Bill and Owen were off looking at sheep in the neighboring farm, kept saying - quite loudly - 'When is the DANCING going to start?!' 

But dance they did! And here's some proof. 
Owen stayed entertained with the help of a big pink balloon that remained his dance partner for most of the evening.

When we weren't dancing, the kids were entertaining themselves with the chair decorations. Let it be said there is nothing you can't do with tulle!

On Monday morning, we had a brief get together to mark the passing of my Aunt Kathleen. She was always a free spirit, and I trust that her spirit is now truly free. 

While it was a mix of happy and sad, I am glad that we were able to visit - always too briefly - with my wonderful and crazy Borovac family.

Day 15 (and 16 and 17) - Park City, Utah

We saw on our ChargePoint App that there was a fast charger at a place call the Bread Board in Lander, WY. We stopped for breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised by great bread/sandwiches, and a single charger that offered 5$ an hour (pro-rated if you don't stay a full hour) for charging, at a speedy 45 mph (not Tesla, supercharger speedy, which can top 360 mph, but very good for a generic all purpose charger). We headed out after breakfast and made our way south. Super cool canyon walls outside Grand Teton We continued on the winding roads, whose speed limit quickly jumped to 80 MPH, which I thought was pretty awesome. Around each bend, we found new terrain... Bill converted this to black and white, but the low boulders and general lack of color really made us feel like we were

Mackay is Teething!

-
Big news. Guess what....Mackay loved having her sore gums soothed with little dabs of bourbon...she thought about it, liked it, and she calmed down...mostly. This is Rosi, Mackay's godmother...not fairy...letting you all know that teething babies like a little bourbon. And no, this doesn't make them alcoholics for life.

She sits!

Drum roll please. Mackay sat up today. By herself! For several minutes. She even picked up a couple toys without falling over. It's very exciting. My, has my definition of excitement changed since I had a baby.
