Porter Post

So Jack and Ben are in underwear. I still don't know how I feel on the subject, but they do look really cute running around in undies. I try to remember that when I got to my dark place.

The boys have been doing a lot of dancing lately. :) During the after reception clean up all the cousins danced around for a bit.
