We went down to southern Ohio for a wedding this past weekend. The sky was so blue and it was a lovely weekend to wed. It was the wedding of our dear friend Denise's son Kellan to the lovely Danielle. I met Denise 17 years ago when I first moved to Ohio with the family I nannied for. Her youngest daughter Jacinta was in preschool with Jessica so that is how we met and became friends. It seemed so strange to watch a kid that I used to babysit get married...but I guess that is what they do....they just keep growing up but we get to a place (middle age) where we feel like we have stopped aging (for now at least). We all had a wonderful time...scroll down for all the fun photos. Kellan and Danielle leaving the church under a clear blue sky and rose petals flying in the air. What a lovely wedding, we wish them a lifetime of happiness.

While waiting for the bride and groom to come from the church (and photos) we had the fun task of filling out a scrapbook page for them. As we came into the reception hall they took our picture that they will put on the page and then we had to write down our best wishes, memories etc. Paige drew the picture of the bride and groom. It was such a clever idea.

Paige snapped this picture of us together. The blue glass beads that I am wearing belonged to my Grandma. It's hard for me to picture her ever wearing them since I always think of her out fishing or working in the garden.
Kellan's grooms cake.
The cake tasted as good as it looked and it looked great!
This is the only photo that I got of Danielle and Kellan together. They had their photo's taken all day I didn't want to bug them and blind them with more.
Jacinta and Nicole with their new sister Danielle. She is a sweet girl and she is going to fit into this family perfectly.
Denise and George at Kellan and Danielle's wedding reception. It was so nice to see them again, and twice in one summer how lucky are we?

Paige, George and Megan a nice shot above and a silly shot below. The girls adore George and he is smitten with them. If you are nice to my kids and play with them then they will follow you around like puppies and that is how they are with George.

Jacinta and Nicole giving Kellan some love! Kellan was born in the middle of these two beautiful girls...what a lucky brother!


It's a dance party!

Mike and Paige dancing.

Since I have known the groom since he was 10 years old...I chose to dance with him during the dollar dance. He is such a sweet young man.
For the dollar dance our girls chose to dance with the Princess bride instead of the groom. Those princess's always win out!
Below- Megan, Paige and Minnie made fast friends. Minnie is one of Denise's grand nieces. There were a lot of young kids there.
Paige swiped a rose too and she put it in her hair clip.
