Wedding Week: Preparation

Well, folks, it's finally here; the wedding week! Lord willing, I will be posting about Stephen and Katie's wedding over the next few weeks (with breaks in between). So, stay tuned!

Great Uncle J. and Aunt P. brought us some of their garden green beans, and then helped snap them!

Daddy and Mumzie were so sweet and helped me work on the wedding favors!

Hmm...wonder what these could be for :)

Gotta love Daddy's humor! :D

In the afternoon, still working on favors


Katie hand-stamping all of the wedding programs



A very familiar sight to me :D

Kate walking away in protest to my demands for different poses in pictures :D

Camera wars

(I don't have the pictures Katie was taking...we kind of forgot to take the pictures off her camera before she got married)

Wrapping gifts

Let's see...it looks like Katie is discussing with Dad and Mom her stresses...

"...and in addition to all that, I have this annoying sister who follows me around all the time taking pictures of me!!!!"

"Yes, I am speaking of you, dear sister [insert nervous laugh]"

Talking to Stephen...

While Mumzie, Daddy and I enjoy what was supposed to be our "last-family-meal-before-Katie-gets-married" dinner :D

That evening, Grandpa and Grandma came over to give us some corn! Not only did they bring it to us, but they also helped husk it! We are so blessed to have such a family!

Again, Daddy, Mumzie and I working on wedding favors. What is it we are looking at, you may be wondering? Well, Daddy decided that we should watch something while we worked, so he searched the Internet for, and found, Dr. Who's "Don't Blink" episode.

Yours Truly while still recovering from my wisdom-teeth-extraction. Not looking very peaky, I'd say! (FYI, that last sentence would sound better if said with a British accent ;))

It's amazing the opportunities that kitchens provide for photos!

Verse of the day:

"Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you."

Random Picture of the Week

Billboard Art :)

One day while driving we came across this and couldn't resist the urge to take a picture of it! It seemed like a very Morton-ish billboard :)

Weekend Away

We had the pleasure of visiting my Great Aunt and Uncle! We went to pick up Grandma, who had been visiting her brother and sister-in-law for the week.

Visiting after our arrival

Uncle J.'s explanation of how a china-making company in Ireland perfectly sands off the gloss on the bottom of it's china.

Cooking Dinner

After eating the best cranberry chicken that we have ever had, we went to...

The Overture Center to see a musical production of "Little Women"!

The dome in The Overture Center.

Uncle J. gave us a tour of the building! It was especially an interesting tour since Uncle J. helped design The Overture Center and could tell us many interesting facts about it!

The main auditorium. Isn't it just lovely?!

The very neat ceiling

All of us on the glass staircase
