rain and sun for a wedding day

Another wedding this weekend!

Anne and Kurt had a lovely backyard wedding, full of children, family and friends and weather surprises!

Just a few...A pair of these pots welcomed guests to the ceremony tent -- love this combination and container! Happy Wedding Day and best wishes!

just a couple more pictures from Poppy's visit last week.He did a good job on Jack's haircut! Handsome little 3 year old!

Long awaited 3 year old birthday pictures

Finally posting some pictures from Jack's birthday last Tuesday!! Poppy was here for a visit this week, so we have been busy!

The firetruck cake from Wegmans. I must say I was a bit disappointed in it- it was rather dull and not as colorful as I thought it was going to be. Oh well... it was yummy.


I love what Jack does when he is in the spotlight... we were singing Happy Birthday to him. Cute little expression.

Three candles!

And a proud new three year old!

Went to a fun party in Skaneateles for Dada's work. Addie had lots of fun!!


Jack FINALLY got a haircut! Poppy last cut his hair at Easter when we were in Charlotte... I would say he was a bit overdue!


More to come!

A wedding

Another wedding this week with Genevieve.

You know how I love feet, so it is only appropriate that I would post a picture of the bride and groom's stylish shoes (with some added texture to the image - not sure I like it or not, but I love the image). Love, love the bride's tea length dress. Very cute!


Here she is waiting to exit the limo to greet her groom at church:

Awesome mural across the street from the church. The bridal party had a lot of fun posing here.

Jack is three

look familiar??!!!!
Jack was so tired on his third birthday that he fell fast asleep... on the floor! I thought the picture looked remarkably like the one I snapped in the hospital when he was just a day old! More pictures from his birthday are coming soon!

Flower

I am very excited! For those of you that don't know, I also work part time at Backyard Garden Florist. We just designed a brand new website and it is GORGEOUS - check it out: www.thebackyardgarden.com

I did most of the photography for it and I am responsible for maintaining the site. Let me know if you have any comments/critique of it. There are a few things that I still have to add and such, but for the most part it is finished! I love it!

Stay tuned for pictures from Jack's Happy 3rd Birthday yesterday!!!!!! Whooo HOOO!!!

AHHHHHH...

Temps have cooled off a bit and today was a spectacular day. The kids and I worked in the yard... got an area finished that I have been wanting to do. I ripped out some weeds and aster and such and planted our zinnia and sunflower seeds. I have high expectations for a full and lush cutting garden! In the fall I will fill part of the area with peonies that aren't doing well in other areas of the yard. If the cutting garden does well, then it will be a spot that I continue to use for some of our favorite annuals. Yipee~
Ok... very tired. more later!

sweet new baby

There are not many cuter things in life than a newborn baby...big sister gives her new brother a run for his money in the cuteness department!

I love how the little guy took the liberty of peeing on Dada!
Don't you just love newborns!!!!

hot

very hot.
but I'm not complaining (yet).

84

84 is the number on my thermostat right now, at 10pm...
We wait and wait and wait all winter for this.... so I can't complain, right???
I'm not complaining (yet).

It was graduation day for a certain little girl!!!!! So cute!
All smiles, receiving the all-important paperwork that says she was an outstanding student!


With BEST friend Payton.

Jack wants to celebrate, too...

I would type more, but I have broken a sweat in the last minute with the exertion of typing...
It is going to be 90+ tomorrow....

a favorite

love this flower! Nature is so awesome... hard to believe that year after year these blooms continue to please. i can't quite snap a picture that does it justice, but i will keep trying. come and visit and see the peony show for yourself!

a wedding

I had the pleasure of assisting Genevieve with the first of eight weddings we're doing together this season.
A very classic and handsome groom:

The weather was very funny... downpours, then sunshine, then a mix... then another downpour later in the day during the reception. The weather cooperated after the ceremony, though:

Congrats to Nick and Esther!
