NIce slow mornign after the busy wedding yesterday. Jac and her boy freind Sasha came by bringing sweets on their way back to Brooklyn.. We had a. nice late breakfast.. Max used a UV laser I had to burn a heart in one of the sweet rolls. ..Weird but very typical behavior at a Jonesville Breakfast .
AFter breakfast I took Gabe back tot eh Airport .. He’s been super disciplined while he was in town. He worked every second he wasn’t part of the wedding. Sounds like he got alot done !
im sper glad he was able to break away to come in for the wedding.
Today was Abbott and Meagan’s wedding. Abbott and his older brother Mason are two of our kids best freinds.. and frequently were at each others houses growing up. They continue to be a big part of our lives. Its so great to see Abbott gettign married to sucha. wonderful woman. Meagan is wonderful.. and they are such a great pair. there was a great setup for the wedding. The whole thing took place at at the Sleepy Hollow Ski touring center about 15 minutes from our house.. but completely out in the woods. THe place is having a great year because of the snow . it was a great setting for a wedding
The ceremony was at 10 in the morning.. .
Mason was there doign music as the family and friends filtered in. CHeck out the view of camels hump behind him !
here’s Abott .. ! looking dapper
Freinds were here from all over. some from high school. some from brooklyn, some from portland, santa fe, etc.
D&D friend Orion officiated
. no pics allowed for the ceremony.. It was short and very sweet. Orion led the intro and Abbott and Meagan exchanged vows they’d written. THey were really wonderfully and thoughtfully written. Which was great because it was under a tent outside .There were heaters on .. though . it was about 10 degrees F.
After the ceremony, we all headed back into the party room for a quick snack… and soem more pics.

After skiing.. we all headed backl to our homes or hotel rooms.. until regathering in the evening for dinner and dancing.

Slight lull in the action today as the kids do their own thing. Gabe is locked in the office upstairs working on his thesis. and max and Becky are out visiting friends. Kinda peaceful..
I got a part I was waiting on for a work project today.. a speed control’ somehow fitting in what had been a fun and hectic week..
You know its been a fun week when your back yard still has a potato cannon shooting gallery !
The frost on this glass etching gabe made is a great echo of the real snow we’ve been getting
the cold and the snow are so fun .. Even the olive oil is freeizing in the pantry !
great progress at work today.. really enjoying workign with my freind Willem. Cool project.. maybe later I can talk about it. GOt hoem to help Max with his potato cannons.. they are having trouble with the cold air. THey wouldnt fire if fueled in the cold air. We tried a ton of exxperiments and realized that the temperature of the air was what mattered most in making them work. They worked great if they were fueled inside in the warm air.. then taken out loaded and armed to fire in the cold. Weh had fun practicing on ome of the pinatas that max had strong up
We helped max and gabe prep for the cbachelot/bachlorette party tonight.. then made ourselves scarce
We headed out to dinner and a movie !. We saw the latest Captain America. movie. Not great cinema.. but fun.. we were almost the only ones in the theatre which was fun too !
After the movie.. we went home and causght the tail end of the party.. really nice group of … cant call them kids anymore.. people !
I liked the shot of the potato cannon and sam. he loved things like that !
