Week before the wedding ...

Melina's wedding is less than a week away (eek - hurray!), so I wanted to post a few pictures before the blog is taken over by wedding photos, which I'm sure will be gorgeous Miss Melina!

In addition to all the wedding planning, we've also had a May full of graduations (Laura and Connor, Maggie, Jen!) Last weekend, we attended a high school graduation party for our cousins Laura and Connor, who are soon off to college - Laura to KU and Connor to design school in Chicago. Congrats cousins! Here are Evie and Nora at their open house, still relatively clean before their lunch of mini cupcakes! Such sweet sisters! (I didn't post the one right after this which shows a quite different side to their relationship!)

Today the girls and I went to "The Farm" - Deanna Rose - with Ellie and her Mommy Lynn. Here the girls were petting the baby cows. Did you know I love baby cows? Well, I do now! Notice Evie is holding her baby doll - named "Baby Kara." Crazy - and kind of scary - when your 2-year-old calls you by your real name.
And finally, better late than never, a cute picture of Nora and her buddy Reece at his 1st birthday party two weeks ago. Poor Reece had to field open-mouth kisses and lots of intense hugging from our girl Nora, who doesn't seem to grasp the whole "personal space" issue. Notice the bread stuck to her chin - yes, she stole my sandwich and possibly someone else's too? Who knows!

OK, our next photos will undeniably be of Melina and Matthew's big wedding weekend - we can't wait!! Wish us luck - Evie is the flower girl! Oh boy!
