Miscellaneous pics by various people.

L to R: I'm not sure about the face at the far left, but the first full person is Seth Wilson (Sabia's brother), then Scott Carter (Sabia's brother-in-law), Connie Wilson (Sabia's mom), another face I'm not sure of, Mandie Books (Joshua's sister), Dixie Books (Joshua's mom), Michael Hrushka (friend--face in background), Leon Books (Joshua's dad), and Alex Blum (friend--about half behind Sabia). Almost completely covered behind Sabia is Sean Stayton (friend).

The rest of these pics were taken by Nancy, Joshua's mom's best friend. They were her wedding present to us. We didn't realize until we got them from her that we hadn't gotten any family group photos of Sabia's family.
