Love and Marriage

Jon and Meagan tied the knot Saturday, August 23rd, at an elegant and beautiful ceremony at the Portland Art Museum, with an amazing reception afterwards. We had a blast celebrating and seeing old friends. We know Jon waited so patiently for "that girl" and we all wondered if she ever existed, then we met Meagan and we knew, she was that girl! We're so happy for them both. They, with their parents created such a beautiful day!

All grown up

Ella just wanted to apply some make up to her eyes and lips....just like mommy does....except I usually stick with brands like maybelline or loreal, not crayola.

No Training Wheels

Chris told Annabelle he would take off the training wheels on her bike on Saturday, and she talked about nothing else all week. So when Saturday came, the training wheels came off and 45 minutes later, she was riding sans training wheels and happy as a clam. Here is some video of her proudest moments, and some not so proud.
