As long as we’re on the topic of the wedding, I am going to slip in some of the out-take pictures that I want to remember…things that happened before and after the big day. (The main wedding post is back HERE.) And some extra pictures from Abby too…that girl is so good at capturing things….
This summer some friends came to town. They were staying a little distance from us, so we packed up for the drive we had ahead of us to go visit with them. On the way out the door I grabbed a couple books I had been meaning to read with my girls that a generous…
