Gene's Wedding

Paul's wonderful friend Gene got married over the fourth of July weekend. It was on the Eastern Shore at this beautiful bed and breakfast, and Paul and I were able to have a vacation as well as help Gene celebrate. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed being on the groom's side of the aisle. The day of the wedding was surprisingly relaxing.

We had lunch at The Crab Claw, a local seafood restaurant in town. How many brides can say they had an amazing, casual, lunch with friends the day of their wedding? I'm telling you, the groom has it made.

Once we returned from lunch, we saw the workers getting ready for the ceremony. It was a beautiful setting.

The groomsmen minus one.

Gene!!

Pretty handsome groomsman, huh?

Congratulations, Gene and Katherine!!

Adam's Birthday

Our little boy turned one recently, and we had a little quesadilla party for him. Both Paul and my parents were able to attend, and we had a few friends join us for his celebration. Here he is with the food and the pinwheels.

This is not a great picture, but the birthday banner fell off the wall soon after the party, and I never did put it back up. It's made from scraps of Adam's baby quilt.

This is where it all went wrong. I think Adam was fascinated by the light and accidentally touched it. He wanted nothing to do with the cupcake after that, so Paul had to hold him for the feast.

The Ninth of the Month

...or somewhere around that date. I tried to take Adam's month pictures and I'm pretty sure I posted each one, but I thought I'd sum up the year in one little post. One of these days I'll figure out the details of coloring and lighting.
