Of All Things Beautiful

The marriage of two people, in love, in front of God and family and friends is one of life's most beautiful events. (The other one being the birth of children.) This past weekend, we attended the marriage of Chris's younger cousin. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception. Madelyn got to help hand out bulletins and greet people as they came in (which she loved) so we were there a little early. While we waited, Chris and Farmer (his dad's cousin who I mentioned before HERE) taught the boys how to twiddle their thumbs...it was so cute!


The reception was held a few miles away and the beautiful fall scenery that God gave us was just spectacular!





We all had a nice time at the reception. It was beautifully decorated!

Places in my home...


The children took a horse and buggy ride with some of the family on Sunday afternoon. Such wonderful memories they will hold dear, one day...

Gorgeous fall colors...

Silly Stu...eating dead flowers...

Don't you just want to hug her? I know I always do...she is just so *huggable*!

I think she is quite photogenic, although I am a *bit* biased! ;)


Silly chicken...doesn't it look like she is marching in a parade? ;)


A lot is planned for this week...in addition to schooling and housework, we plan on visiting with a friend of mine to make cookies, visiting my sister to make these, one day, and also digging up the potatoes from the garden! I love being out in the crisp autumn air, don't you?

I hope you each enjoy your week! Thanks for coming by! :)

Joy-filled smiles,
Katy :)

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
