From the church we made a visit to Innis Woods Metro park for some
photos with the bridal party.

Mandy was a good sport for the sake of a photo, even though her
heels were sinking into the dirt.......
Photobucket
Jason took charge and threw Mandy over his shoulder. Even more
interesting is the length he carried her and he didn't even seem to break a sweat.
That was sweet of him to get her off her hurting feet.

I couldn't resist this, it was just too cute not to blog.
Mandy and two of her bridesmaids shared in the comfort of their
jogging shorts under their gowns. Even they could make it look
stylish!
Photobucket
The reception was held at The Royal American Golf Club in Galena, out in the country. It was a beautiful evening as the sun set during their party.
Photobucket
We got in a few more shots as the sun went down for that nice evening
hue....

Jason and Mandy are going to Jamica and Ireland for their honeymoon. We
spent some time talking to them about places to go in Ireland that are a must
see, and shared with them some of our experiences during our recent visit. Hope
you have a wonderful trip!! Don't forget to pack me in your suitcase!

Happy Father's Day
Photobucket
So I thought, what better way to celebrate Father's Day with a trip down
memory lane...with some photos of Marty and Ephram in their first two years
as Father and Son....yes, even in the hospital I was taking photos.
Photobucket
Ephram was so tiny, just under 6lbs when we brought him home. I love how
Marty's got him well protected in his arms, so much pride.
Photobucket
Marty put a lot of hard work into creating my hope of a baby nursery, and it was perfect. To this day, Ephram is a lover of 'Fish' and loves Nemo.
Photobucket
I wanted to be sure to document those first days, first weeks as it's such fast
moving time in their young lives and I didn't want to miss out on those moments.
Photobucket
One of my favorite photos of them at the family farm.......
Photobucket

Photobucket
I often found these two in this position, Ephram always slept best when close to us, if not on us!
Photobucket
On a trip to California when Ephram was six months old, he'd already been broken into traveling at three months. Here they are checking out the waves at Laguna Beach.
Photobucket
Such a happy boy......Ephram too!
Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
This always brings a smile to my face...E's first trip to Chicago, and he's determined
to walk, who needs a stroller.....but we did have to compromise with the dreaded
leash just cause he's such a runner, loves to take off and roam about....boy's got
things to see in this big world. This photo always puts The Bee Gee's 'Stayin Alive'
song in my head....the way he's just strutting his stuff....
Photobucket
I love that not only have we been able to travel around this country as a family, but also around the world. It'll be fun watching Ephram's passport get stamped. One down, and another soon coming!
Photobucket
Ephram has a pretty cool dad who can also be a big kid himself...they are
the best of buds.
Photobucket
These two love to rough house with each other, Marty has the bruises to show
for it. Ephram is a little dare devil and loves it when daddy tickles him, throws
him up in the air, all sorts of fun things.
Photobucket
Ah yes, as they saying goes, 'Like Father, Like Son'.......an so it is. I know this lil' guy
looks up to you, and he's taking after you, even if you don't realize it. I hope he keeps
on that way as he grows up, he'll be really cool guy, just like his daddy.

Katy and Matthew
Photobucket
I met up with Katy and Matthew last night in the Short North for their
E-Session. Little did I know that most of the parking meters were closed off
due to an event at Goodale Park, so it took me forever to find a parking space
as they patiently waited for me. By the time I finally got to them I was a frazzled
mess of loathing the city, but upon getting with them, I was brought back down
to a nice calm. Katy and Matthew are so cool and laid back. I know they have had
some up hill battles, but together they are getting through it. Just deal
with it and keep moving...and in no time, that is how I felt. Refreshed!

Thankfully it didn't rain last night as it had been forcasted, but I did find me a nice lil puddle to play with.
Photobucket
Katy and Matthew are going to be married later this summer in a wedding at one
of the beautiful golf courses, The Pinnacle.
Photobucket

Photobucket
One of my favorites....
Photobucket
Love this one too......they both make the shot!

Like me, Katy is vertically challenged, we had a lot of laughs about that. But thankfully for them I have a tall husband too that will take over where I fall short..............get it........
All the best in your wedding day planning. Breathe easy and just hold on tight to one another.
