Going to the Chapel

Today has been a very exciting day! My sister in law and I went wedding dress shopping with her mother and another of the bridesmaids. She found THE dress! It's beautiful! We had been shopping one other time and saw some pretty dresses but the dress today suits her perfectly (it helps she has a great figure and can wear any style dress)! Not only was it a great day because she found her dress but I also got the chance to reminisce which was fun. She found her dress at the same wonderful store I found mine three years ago. The owner of the store even remembered which dress I had chosen that long ago! That is what I call service.

Summer Time is Calling Me

It's been a big summer so far; Claire turned 1, I went back to school (for my 3rd college education!), we got a new car, and Claire got the classiest pool ever! No seriously, we bought a kiddie pool for our sweet Claire to be able to play in. I know what you are thinking - little, round, plastic kiddie pool but that wouldn't be any fun for the adults now would it? Instead we got her this pool:

I'll let you make your own judgements about the family in the picture. Anyway, Claire loves it! She wasn't so sure at first and has a little issue each time she gets in but that soon gives way to her having a great time! Did I mention that two adults fit in it with her? Good times!

Isn't her suit adorable? My oldest friend Jennifer's very talented mother gave this to her for her first birthday. She also gave her a terry cloth cover-up with a yellow "C" on it. Too cute!

We also had another baby come and visit us this summer:

Speaking of babies - I want to send a big congratulations to the best neighbor EVER on her big news! I'm so glad I could be there for the "P"ivotal moment ;)

It's been an exciting summer so far to be sure!
