I feel an overwhelming sense of pride when I look at these pictures, but not because of anything special Katie and I did- although we do love the pictures. It's because the guy getting married here is my very own kid brother. I guess I didn't realize how much he'd grown up until this day. Honestly, until then, it was kind of difficult for me to shake the image of the little obnoxious kid that I'd give a swift punch to the arm to for laughing when he beat me in a game of Mario Kart. (Just to clarify, I didn't hit him that hard and I didn't lose often) But today no kid stood before me. He was a man standing there and one I couldn't possibly have felt more happy for and proud of. Clairissa, you are the perfect addition to our family. We welcome you, and we love and congratulate you both!
