Life Goes On

Life is getting back to normal. We're resuming our usual activities. Alan, Jadyn and I even took time to picnic by the lake one evening this week. It was just McDonald's. We didn't have to work too hard for that. Jadyn enjoyed digging in the sand. We enjoyed just watching her and talking.
We actually wanted to picnic more this week, but our weather in Minnesota has been too cool and cloudy for picnicking. We even had to cancel a playgroup picnic yesterday and head indoors. I'm ready for hot weather. We need all we can get here in the north.

My body is recovering. ☺ I've needed more naps than usual this week. I finally felt ready for cleaning today. I couldn't wait to vacuum some of the main traffic areas in the house. After about 30 minutes worth, I was worn out. I guess the body's not back to normal yet. ☺ How pathetic.

I still have a few wedding things to put away. I keep finding it here, there and everywhere. What to do with it all?

We're expecting the honeymooners to fly in tonight. I am looking forward to hearing about their trip and hopefully seeing photos too. We will enjoy visiting with them for a day or two, and then he will whisk her away to Missouri.

We received a very full CD of photos from the photographers. Many beautiful photos, which is wonderful. Please indulge me while I share 3 more.

Our 3 girls

This one is one of my favorites. So sweet.

Okay, I promise to stop now. ☺

What an emotional time for you. I know when my girls got married I was very emotional for weeks. Crying at the drop of a hat. I am not sure what I will be like for Blair's.

Glad it all went well. I was thinking of you. And, you looked fabulous.

I've loved seeing ALL of the wedding photos - don't apologize for them! And I hope you return to 100% soon... it's hard sometimes when recovery is slow.
