My Sister is here...
My Sister and her husband Jesse are in town (from Seattle).
We spent yesterday morning out at my Mom's place.
I think my Sister's favorite thing about coming to town is the daily iced Kahlua Kicker she gets from Dutch Brothers (a local coffee chain).
The girls were singing Little Bunny Foo-Foo with my Sister.
Once we pried Coley off of the video games, he took off for the creek.
Courtney Lee spent most of the morning on the swing hollering "Look at me!"
And this little one spent most of her morning in Uncle Jesse's lap.
And my Sister with her first "real" camera (I even got to go down to the camera shop to pick it all out for her - a Canon Rebel and a 50mm f1.4).
I think I'm more excited about the whole thing than she is though.
And...I have strict orders from my Sister that starting today at 3pm, I am officially OFF of work for the rest of the week (the wedding is on Thursday).
I'd better get busy (lots to accomplish before 3pm).
Hey Karen! I'm sure the wedding will be just perfect! Can't wait to see some pictures! I'm so happy for you!

I can't believe you had time to post before the upcoming wedding. You are incredible. Congratulations and best wishes to you, Josh and all the family! Remember to take time to take it all in. Wedding days usually pass by in a blur with all the hub-bub.....so take time to sit back and look around. That was the best advice anyone gave me for my wedding day. I guess we'll all just have to wait for the pics. :)

Love is in the air... oh yes it is! I'm so very happy for you both... for all of you! You've shared with us some beautiful pictures over the years, allowing us to peek at this wonderful life that you and Josh have created, apart, and now together. From afar, there is this feeling in the air... someone you care about is truly in love and about to marry the man of her dreams. And you just can't help to be me, who wears a big ear to ear smile and who just shed a tear of happiness. It's a beautiful gift. You have inspired people not only with your talents and creativity, but with your love story. You know it's true, people come here with a good heart. You remind many of the American dream. Congratulations to you both! I'll be thinking of you both all week!
