We've Only Just Begun

Halloween weekend we are off to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for the wedding of Megan Piermarini and Jon Liff. Jeff and I flew up on Thursday and met Brian at Logan Airport in Boston. We rented a car and set off to Portsmouth amidst heavy traffic. We checked into the Hampton Inn and were upgraded to King Suites - very nice!

That night was the rehearsal dinner at a cozy restaurant on the water. It was a rainy night, but inside we enjoyed great food and sat with our first cousins. It was a great reunion and lots of catching up. Six of our eight Steingrob cousins were there.

The next morning we hung out and got ready for the festivities. The wedding took place at The Red Barn in East Berwick, Maine, a short drive from the hotel. First we took the obligatory pictures.

Then the beautiful ceremony with Brielle as the flower girl. She did a great job of capturing all our hearts as she walked up the aisle.

The ceremony was short and sweet with the doggies paying close attention.

Then came the fun part of the evening - the party! I got to hold our newest addition Daniel James Charwick and his big sister Brielle.


We danced a hora, ate a delicious meal and enjoyed visiting with relatives and old friends.

The next day we enjoyed exploring the quaint town of Portsmouth. All decked out for Halloween and quite a bit chillier than home.

 We wandered for a while, ate lunch and then headed back to Boston for the flight home.
