Sun, Rain, and Weddings

As far back as I can remember September is one of the best months of the year in Olympia. Sunny days, a bit on the cooler side in the morning and evening - the exact reason we picked this month to get married outside 8 years ago. (Happy Anniversary Scott!) We went to two weddings on Saturday and what an experience we had!

Both weddings were beautiful and we were so happy to be a part of the celebration. The first at 3 pm was indoors with gorgeous sunny skies outside, and at the conclusion of the ceremony the bride and groom rode off to the reception in a horse drawn carriage under the beautiful sun. (Congratulations Amy and David!) A mere 30 minutes later about 7 miles away we were pelted with a heavy rain shower for the outdoor wedding we were attending. There was a truly blessed break in the rain and the ceremony took place under a beautiful arbor with the sun shining down through a break in the clouds. (Congratulations Ali and Doug!)

The sun dress we put Little in and the light weight party dress I wore worked well for the first wedding - not so well for the second. But we made do - nothing will keep us from the party!

Here is Little in her wedding finery! This was her first time in frilly socks and her first time in shoes! So precious . . .





As the weather turns its time for pants and long sleeves!


This is a magical time of year with a one year birthday right around the corner!
