i love all that chippy paint and rust.
for lorel. oh my gosh… laughing out loud, and now have the giggles! LOL!! Thanks for the funny this morning! 😀 our favorite, too. my favorite. Omgosh…i dont even watch the office, have never even thought to watch the office but THAT WAS FUNNY…I may have to start..lol last week was parent’s night at church for jr.high youth group. jim is our church’s youth pastor. youth groups arent just important but critical!! I had an amazing youth group as a teen and it truly formed who I am today. You are so correct…it is a calling! i love chicago. the apple store was so cool. everywhere you look there are flowers. and i am in love with cloud gate sculpture. my sister & i went to the art institute. kind of sad really that i’m in the art institute and i kept thinking of movies! we had a wonderful time just hanging around chicago. the trip home was longer than we cared for… and then when i drove home at 7:00 am monday morning… never been to chicago but looks like a great place to just visit..lol…i personally think your little town looks like “home” 🙂 Great shots. Love your blog, as usual. I read it every day and from one mommy to another, you are very pretty. I know I don’t hear that often, but when I do it is great, so there you go. Have a good one.
looks like you had a wonderful time in chicago – great pictures!!! you hit the best weather too. it’s a little chilly here now. my heart swells with these home images…we could swap stories for a long time, i think… this past weekend i got to go back to chicago this picture went all glowy from the lighting… and she was. watching them through their wedding was just adorable. officially mr. and mrs. it was across the street from the art institute on michigan ave. i absolutely loved getting all dressed up. this is my other grandma. and my sister lorel… wait…how did this picture get in here? my mom and aunt jan. me and my mom and sister… all the cousins. more chicago girl’s weekend photos to come. WOW..what a wedding dress!!! You and your sister look SO much alike. Looks like a great time…thanks for sharing wonderful pictures. looks like you all had a ball. the picture you captures fo the bride and groom is priceless. her expression is just adorable! and you looked very pretty. i am off to chicago for a wedding. this is the girls and friends at lauren’s volleyball game.
they are together everyday. it’s not always sweet but usually. annie is so happy to included. they are so much fun to be with. yesterday annie said “talby my best friend.” i am so glad i get to be their mom.
what a gift they are to each other today and do not fret….they will ALWAY be bonded sisters!!! How wonderful!!!! This does remind me of you and Lorel. The two of you were always close and thankfully, you still are! how adorable. i hope that bond stays strong too – especially through the middle school years. they are sweet and i love the photo of the closeup on their hands. |
