Andy and I hadn't been dating for very long when I was called to meet the "college friends". It was pretty darn nerve-wracking. I was walking into a house where at least 6 of Andy's closest friends were gathered to visit. Aaron & Lauren were visiting for the holidays. Andy and Barb were visiting from Colorado. And, as usual, everyone was gathered at Jeff's house. I think I played it pretty cool but I was sweating it.

Thankfully, Jeff and I hit it off right away. We sat and drank a couple of Rolling Rocks together and all was good. Jeff was our best man. He has been a good friend for the last 10 years. I'm glad to say that he is definitely "our" friend not "Andy's" friend. My kids just love Jack and Luci.

Anyway, Jeff's mom has been asking for a family photo. Last Sunday, I and the ENTIRE Berkes family gathered at Scioto Park for pictures. I always tease Jack (Jeff's son). He is a feisty, ornery little guy and I love it. My Aidan thinks Jack is the coolest! But look, he's got a sister and three girls for cousins. Poor guy. He needs some boys around. Luckily, Uncle David just got engaged so who knows? Just teasing.... No pressure. Really. I really wanted to get David and Emily alone for some rockin' dk engagement photos but with the kids around, I kept it G-rated.

And. I can't forget Bonnie, Jeff & the girls. I've gotten to know them a bit through Jeff. Enjoyed seeing them again and I think their girls are awfully cute. The pigtails get me every time!
