7-7-07 has come and gone! I can’t believe the year is already over half-way through! When Laura and Randy came in to book with us for the date, it felt like it was forever away but now they are officially wed and Randy had better not ever forget his anniversary!

When we arrived a Rippavilla, we were excited to see that the fields next door were in use. It’s official: We heart corn! :)

Congratulations to the beautiful couple! Your love for each other is amazing! See you soon!

All last weekend Rachel told everyone that Evi had to wait just until Monday to come and she did great! :) Time for belly pictures really snuck up on us and went out to Edwin Warner Park on Monday to memorialize Evi’s pre-arrival! In a couple of weeks my best friend will be the mother of two. Whoa! MY best friend will not just be a mother, but have TWO kids! Geez how time flies! It feels like not so long ago that we were in middle school and Rachel was telling me that I had to have names planned out for my future children – you just have to! haha – what happened to that list Rach? :) Two girls and still no Emma??

The creek was a welcomed sight in the heat we’ve been having and Lauren was just too cute in her little white dress! The Shepherd children have always had a flair for the dramatic; evidently it runs in their jeans…

Staying in the water didn’t last long though. Lauren felt a tadpole or something swim by her feet and there was no going back!

Tickling Evi

Kisses!

The beautiful pregnant lady and her crazy family – aren’t they cute?? :)

Rach, even though you’re making me feel very old, I still love you and I can’t wait for Evi to get here! :)

So, going back a few days from our last post, Friday was Ariana and Bart’s big day! We had so much fun with them at their engagement session so we knew that we would love their wedding! Ariana was radiant and Bart and his guys were so handsome in their uniforms! It feels like we’re at Scarritt every few weeks nowadays and we were there again for their wedding with a reception to follow in the Pinnacle at the Sheraton. The Pinnacle is a revolving restaurant on the 26th floor (or some high number like that). The elevators there go straight up in an open space in the lobby – I am proud to say we made it up without having to back into the elevators for fear of heights this time! :) It’s not usually a fear of ours but the elevators bevel out to suspend you over the drop at you fly to the top and dang if those things don’t move fast!

Anyway, have a look at this lovely couple:

Congrats you guys! We so enjoyed you all and we can’t wait to see you again! :)
