More Wedding Bells


Remember Mr. Fitness and the Southern Belle got married a few months ago... well the wedding fairies must have been working overtime that day because one of the Sweetest Girls I know (a.k.a. Sarah) decided to get married to Mr. Caregiver (a.k.a. Brian, the nursing student).  We enjoyed some time this summer to get to know them a little better.   Here are some pictures from their engagement gathering...






We look forward to see where God will take this new couple.

A Visit from the West Coast

Over the summer we were honored to be able to enjoy some time with our West Coast counterparts otherwise known as Prince Charming's brother and family.  Since they live across the country we do not get to see them often so time spent with them is precious.  I just love how our kiddos just "pick up" right where they left over playing with each other even though it can be as many as two years between visits.

Summer Doings

As always in the great northeast good weather is short and sweet.  We had a few major events that I will highlight in a separate post (like the west coast Starks coming to visit) but as I sit here under a blanket sipping my hot tea I thought I would share with you all the happenings we crammed into the few short weeks of good weather.

Rollerblading has become the new favorite thing to do, but what good mother lets her kids rollerblade in their pajamas... apparently I do!
