• CONGRATS YOU TWO!!! We are SO happy to be included in your special day, and SO excited for your honeymoon trip to NZ!! Obviously we contributed to the car thing - but we absolutely loved camping in the Jucy van when we went and we know you will too!! Here's to many more camping adventures in your future!!

  Nikki Schanzer

• How do I say anything to the person whose birthing room I saw - what a mess! Shots as a babysitter. Now a grown woman with ideas of her own!! No, don’t expect me to agree with ideas on how to cope with climate change - or to eliminate fossil fuels. Go nukes. UA wrote this. All OUR love, UA, AJ and Juliette

  Uncle Alan, Aunt Jannet, Cousin Juliette

Hopefully, Jordan will be on his best behavior and we won’t find him hiding under tables like his Father did at one of your family members wedding (can’t remember which wedding)! I’m sure someone will bring him it up over the weekend 😊 Love, Shanna, Hayden, and Jordan
