Mary and John's Wedding Celebration Weekend

What a great weekend it was. The picnic pavilion held all sorts of family and friends for two days at Gael and Pete's Chapel Hill farm, Flintlock Farms. Check out the brick pizza oven! And the wedding cake was beautiful and from Fearrington Village's pastry shop. My parents came, too, and had a great time. Mary and John are honeymooning in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Hope they're having a ball! Thank you Pete and Gael for hosting such a fun event.

On the floor is me, Shawn, and Joel Darden, college and Deli friend. Oh and of course BRUNO! :-)

Memorial Day Weekend in Chicago

Lots of pictures to share of our long weekend in Chicago. Grandma's 90th birthday celebration was a big hit. I think we tired her out though! Here's the fam, just lounging around together poolside at the Lincolnshire Marriott doing what we do best, I think: Happy Hour.

Millenium Park-Soooo cool

Shawn and I took a river tour through the city...the buildings are amazing!

Buckingham Fountain, Michigan Avenue, and walking along Lake Michigan
