Collage Friday - Wedding Edition

I am still on cloud 9 from last weekend when my oldest married the love of his life! 

We traveled just over an hour to the beautiful quaint town of Ridgefield, CT.  The town was something out of a novel set in the New England area. 

The children are no strangers to hotels these days and the Hampton Inn in Danbury did not disappoint!

Our two girls wore matching dresses from Tahari and Zachary wore his first suit coat and tie.   They were so excited for this day to come!

I wanted to say something at the reception but every time I started putting pen to paper, I would start to get this lump in my throat and tears rolling down my eyes.

I decided I needed to make it a humorous speech...worked out perfect!

This picture makes my heart SING!  Thank you Jesus for my four children and their relationship with each other. Aren't the flowers in the background beautiful...the entire garden area was breathtaking.


At their request,  keeping most of their special day private, I am sharing just a few pictures.  This picture of them right after their exchange of vows was perfect...the perfect happy smiles on them both!  The flowers were beautiful and the attention to detail was impeccable.  Kerri even had the children's table (all cousins) all decked out with stuff for them to do. 

Dancing...eating...fellowship...some champagne toasts...it was PICTURE PERFECT!  

Back to school.....

We are finally getting back to our full time school schedule next week and the kids are less than excited...the summer schedule has done them well!

We have one more camping trip coming up next weekend and soccer practices and gym classes keeping our nights busy.  Fall crockpot cooking has started and I am hoping for our first fire in the fireplace soon! 

If you missed my post on the new Kiwi Crates and the different age levels they are offering now, you must check it out!  Perfect Christmas Gifts!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
