Springtime hearts, flowers and love

Stopping along the way to look up

smell the blossoms

breath deeply

celebrate love

and

be joyful

Our oldest daughter, Amanda,

is getting married this summer.

This past Saturday, the women in our family

and her closest friends had the best time ever.

Can you tell we had a "beach" theme!

The memory jar was a joy to create.

Each flower girl chose a special stone to put inside.

Rachael and I added seashells, sea glass, sand dollars and her favorite

east and west coast photos.

A really big hit were the Lightly Lemon Cupcakes {in the collage}

A super easy recipe from Bisquick.

They are sooo light and lemony!

These chocolate / almond cupcakes and Nutter Butter flip-flop cookies were fun too!

    What a snapshot is to your life, 

your life is to eternity, 

so wouldn’t it be nice if eternity captured you smiling?

God bless you always,
