Movin' on...

Yep. It's time to move on from wedding mode. It's been 2 weeks since the wedding and things are finally calming down and getting back to normal.
Last night we had Logan and Emmy spend the night. It was good to spend some time with those two. We were in the kitchen and Emmy spotted a Morning Dove on the patio and Logan asks "why do Morning Doves come out in the evening"? I thought that was a good question.
Paul got his shed and spent a lot of time yesterday cleaning the garage with Jenn's help and they discovered the pogo stick and stilts. I could never do either one but Paul could..

Emmy said "c'mon grandpa, don't be afraid". I was cracking up!

Emmy gets a turn!

We then walked to the Avon Dairy Treat for some ice cream. A convertible drove by the ice cream shop and Emmy pointed and said "that car doesn't have a lid". The funny things these kids say. I wish I was scrapping when my kids were little, I would have loved to document all the little things they said. 

There's a big difference living in Avon vs Avon Lake and that is this city isn't nearly as people friendly. No bike paths on the main roads and the sidewalks are pretty much partial with huge gaps for some reason (if there are sidewalks).  We can run in our development (I have to run on the sidewalk) but can't venture out of it. I don't know if I'll get much bike riding done this summer. I see why Eric and Jess want to stay in Avon Lake. Don't get me wrong. I really like Avon with the easy access to shopping and the highways but my kids are all grown up so it works for us.

I'm not sure if I posted this already but Logan crossed over to Wolf Cubs last month. I'm so proud of him!

He earned the fish hook on his hat by catching the largest fish! 

I got a new license plate. The old one had "SCRAPR" and not everyone (not very many people for that matter) know what a scrapper is. So I'm really pleased with my new one...

So, I'm off. I hope you enjoy your Sunday!

More pics of the wedding...

I got an email from Patty with some pictures a friend of hers had taken at the wedding. I hadn't seen any pictures of the meadow or the barn yet so this was a treat. 

  

 

Chris and Jenn get hitched rustic style!

Saturday May 25th was the perfect setting for my baby girls' wedding day! Blue skies, a green meadow and the love of family and friends in abundance!! Just perfect! Here are some photos I got from some friends and a couple that the photographer emailed to Jenn.

The happy couple..oh yea!

Eric, Jessica, Emmy (flower girl) and Logan (sign bearer).

Me, Jennifer and my sister Wendy.

Jennifer with our neighbor Joe, who definitely came appropriately dressed!

I'm so happy that Jenn and Chris got their rustic, beautiful, outdoor wedding and it went smoothly!
As always....

It's CRUNCH time!

Only two days left before the big day! The big day for my baby girl! The big day when my baby girl gets married!

This snapshot of Jenn was taken by her maid of honor in the dressing room while we were                                   bridal dress shopping with her. The lady assigned to help, handed her this bouquet and put the comb in her hair!  

She's going to be such a beautiful bride!!

As always....

Just how PROUD am I?

Well let me tell ya. Both Eric and Steve graduated from colleges last week and I can't describe how proud I am of both of them!

Stephen graduated from University of Toledo with a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and Engineering.

And Eric graduated from Cleveland State University with a Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering.

We then had a small graduation party at our house on Saturday following Eric's graduation. It was very nice to see friends and family.

As always...
