New Beginnings

Crazy endings this spring are leading to new beginnings...like the back patio.  Mark is building a back porch, so out went the bricks (to be used in the fire ring area).

Speaking of new beginnings, Cy has started a little custom light saber business.  He and a friend build their own and sell them!

We interrupt this blog post to bring you more softball.  Here's the Shae-Paige battery at work!  Hopefully a new beginning because Paige actually WANTED to catch for her sister this year!!

And a lovely spring day for a new beginning: marriage!

 The whole clan in a rare get-together at Crystal's wedding!  Father of the bride in purple!  (He made so many great rustic decorations for this, like the barn door!)

 New beginnings: New baby Engelke!  Welcome to Wyatt, born in March!

It's fun to see my sister and sister-in-law talk about grandma things!  (but I'm NOWHERE NEAR ready for those conversations!! eek!)

Mom and our newest family member, Eric

Brian wrote a love-filled speech to his daughter and new son-in-law.  

Congratulations to the newlyweds, Eric and Crystal!

Eric's brother, Eric, Crystal, and Lacey

 The bride looked beautiful as ever...and it was such a pretty venue at the Bridal Barns and Gardens near Verona!

 New beginnings: initiating the newest Engelke outlaw into the family.......Jeff wasn't shy about doing the honors.

 Crazy ending to a softball night--playing against cousins is always fun!  But we are sad to say "see you later" to Brooke and family, as they move to Indiana for a new beginning in Uncle Glenn's career.  Good luck to the Davis family!  Miss you in Wisconsin!

Paige, Brooke, Shae, and assistant coach Ally
