161/366

My day started out with this beautiful group of people.
june9-13
Misty's brother Andy, his wife Julie, and sweet Emma Bear were visiting Iowa for the week. The Lynch family was kind enough to let a few of us barge in on their brunch for some quality time and most importantly to finally meet Miss Emma, who we hear so much about.

She is a sweetheart, just like her Aunt Minnie said.
We also got to spend some time with the most handsome boy, Quentin.

{i realized something this weekend after taking pictures with both Trevyn & Quentin... when people try to get a baby to smile by saying sweet things and shaking toys... I give a bigger reaction than the baby. Tragic.}


Then my day got a little hectic.
Because, you see, we couldn't simply let my father's 50th birthday pass with just a dinner and some cake.
So we went with a surprise party... on a party bus.
Tim's closest friends and family gathered to surprise him, traveling from both near and far.
We met in a parking lot to board a party bus and traveled to a quaint bar in Elkhart for the big reveal.
{note: our original location of meeting at a winery got scratched about 30 minutes before party time.. a last minute change and a whole lotta stress is what you get when you throw a surprise party, right?}
I think it is safe to say he was quite surprised, which lead to a special evening filled with laughter, friends, and celebration.
My biggest regret, not getting a picture of the entire crew. But we have plenty of memories...
