1) Great pictures-is this near your home?

2) Yes...20 minutes away. It was chilly (45) and overcast today but my husband and I did this hike today. How was the wedding?

3) Thanks for asking. I just did a blog about it and tried not to gush too much. My daughter has been through a rough period in her life and it really has been an answer to all our prayers that she has met and married this wonderful young man. My son leaned over and whispered, "I wish she had met him first." But I have the philosphy that things happen for a reason and we wouldn't have Caroline if Laurie hadn't been married to her Dad. Laurie graduated from nursing school a year ago and that was no picnic as you can appreciate-trying to go to school, work and be a single parent. Laurie has been blessed with good friends and a strong family so we are all celebrating her new life. She also found out that she is expecting another little girl. Travis and his parents and I went with her to the ultrasound on Friday and it was so wonderful to see a healthy little baby (18 weeks.) Unfortunately she is having the same problem she had carrying Caroline, she has a pic line for phenegran because she can not keep anything down. Her body just doesn't tolerate the hormones.Richard and I have one more wedding in July-our youngest son is getting married-then all 5 kids will have their degrees and married and we can relax and enjoy the grandkids (ha-ha)(If only it would be that easy!)

4) Hopefully the challenges are over for a while. Five kids with degrees is quite an accomplishment. I can't imagine planning a wedding while suffering from severe nausea.

5) Laurie and her college roommate actually have a bridal consultant business-they do mostly their friends but it payed off for her -everything went very smoothly (except for the weather.)
