kevin + jen = married. it was beautiful. family oriented. so much fun!

dh was his best man. miss emi and mari were flower girls, along with lauren, jen’s niece. at least 2 out of 3 of them made it down the aisle!
before and after the ceremony, they took pictures. at the park, at the church, and outside. they couldn’t have asked for a better day! totally took care of the kiddos too! they brought sandwiches, cookies, drinks and more for them for all of their down time. you know me, i had my cooler all prepared, but all i had to bring was mari’s milk and her diaper bag! thanks auntie jen!
dh and i had about 30 minutes of us time during the reception. which was just amazing! miss emi went with the kids to the preschool area of the church, where they had hired the teachers to watch the kids for up to 2 hours. LOVED that! they had games, watched movies, and played on the equipment. miss emi was content going back and forth between the equipment, and watching CARS. and this just shocked us! miss mari found a new friend…auntie cathy! she was wondering all around the dance floor, then, found uncle lloyd and auntie cathy’s table. she took one look at cathy and put her arms up in the air [her sign for pick me up]. cathy did, and they were inseperable until we left. dh went over to spell cathy, and after about 5 minutes, mari went around table to table looking for her, until she found her. cathy is a nurse, and we think has many calming qualities like my mom, and believe that is what drew mari to her. so proud of you miss mari! thanks auntie cathy!
the cake was so yummy and her decor so her! beautiful. simple.

my dh, his bro kev, and sister karen.
now off to find one of just the bride and groom. wish me luck.

more stories coming this week:)

happy sunday!

blessings,

erin
