A Daughter traveling

The daughter off to her travels in Costa Rica for 6 months.....with all she needs on her back and front......

Another niece

This is a one of my many nieces (ok....to be fair I have only a great nephew....truly they are my husband's nieces and nephews but I love 'em like they were mine!) who broke her knuckle playing basketball. She was delighted to be asked to pass out the programs for the bride, her cousin. Doesn't she look sweet? or at least busy!!!!

ABC Wednesday Y is for Yoda

Today is ABC Wednesday. I wasn't sure I was going to come up with anything for "Y" as I have already done Yellow and Yeast...and my brain was having trouble thinking of more Y's! But....while walking through one of my sons' rooms, I saw this. What I like about this is the depiction of time from my point of view. There was a time that my boys lived for Star Wars. We even had an R2D2 toy chest....which was way more fun to play with when there were no toys in it I might add.......Looking at his book shelf, I see the love of his youth and how he grew up. Notice the shot glasses? and the vase from his trip to Berlin...also on the shelf was a souvenir from Australia and the Berlin wall.....and other items from college and his travels to China...where he currently lives. How time flies.
Please stop over at Mrs. Nesbitt's place to look at all the creative "Y" choices!

The bride and groom

It was the bride and groom's first dance as a married couple. I just love how this turned out.....it reminds me of a very vintage, romantic time. Her dress was made from her mother and grandmother's wedding dress by her new sisterinlaw who is a designer in Montreal(where we were for the wedding).....Congratulations Laura and Alexis!We really enjoyed your special day!
