I know, I know...Its about time already!

That's right all my friends who have been bugging and bugging me to finally get this blog up and running, you can rejoice! The Keldsens have finally arrived in the blogging world. I wasn't sure how to officially start off a blog, so I guess I'll just jump right in.
WELCOME TO OUR LIFE! The last month has involved quite a bit of driving for our gang. We've been to San Francisco twice! Thank heavens for portable DVD players and books on CD. They were our salvation and the only reason we were able to pull off that drive twice within less than 4 weeks of each other. I'll admit I didn't mind so much I LOVE San Francisco and am already scheming on how to get back down there soon. The kids loved seeing their grandma and grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousin "baby Jenna" again...Eli might also have been motivated by the cable cars, bridges and BART. I'm not sure if the child is even aware that we went down to San Francisco for Uncle Bill and Aunt Krissy's wedding and then sealing. Pretty sure he went down for the myriad of public transportation options. You'll see a sampling in the pictures. Later, I hope to post some professional shots from the wedding and sealing when we get them. Bill and Krissy had the most amazing photographer, he takes breathtaking pictures. Although, he's probably never come along anyone quite as challenging as Eli and Paige Keldsen (most of you saw our Christmas cards, you know what I'm talking about, were they smiling or in pain, who can tell?), hopefully he was able to work some serious photo magic.

I adore you all! Please be patient with me while I figure this blogging world out. I've loved being a blog reader, we'll see if I can hack being a blogger! Yikes!!

On the Bay Cruise, from Pier 43 1/2, under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz.

Eli and Alcatraz (aka "Bad Guy Land" by Paige)

The cable cars might have been my favorite part of this visit to San Fran. The perfect ending to our sightseeing day for sure! Eli and Uncle Brian stood in the very front of the car, hanging off the side, Eli was in heaven. Mom a nervous wreck. We went down some pretty hairy hills with cars right next to us!! Eli thought it would be hilarious to scream like a little girl down the hills-we got some looks as we passed by!

Paige, Eli and Freya (niece of Aunt Krissy and fast friend of Eli) after walking down the aisle. The better picture would have been of their parents making faces and frantic threatening signs as the flower girls and their escort got more and more hyper as the ceremony went on.

Paige walking to dinner with "baby" Jenna. Two cute girls in pink!

Eli's favorite part...riding BART under the bay with Grandpa!
