my clare bear

i have been looking back at my pictures over the year and just love this one. clare is the second girl grandbaby in the league family. when i am with clare i am reminded of pictures of myself as a little tot. i just love her soft skin and adorable cheeks. she is often not too sure about her auntie stephy.........unfotunately, she has no choice, auntie stephy loves to kiss on her. i spent some time with her a few weeks ago in spokene, and loved it. we love our clare bear.

sisterhood

having siblings is incredible, i know this for a fact, but sisterhood is something simply beautiful. thank god for sisters. i love this picture of ann and julie toasting their baby sister on her wedding day, who they "adore"........... their toast was mostly about how everyone truly does adore mary. mary, you are one loved lady. i know how much it meant to you to have all of your family by your side on the most beautiful day of your life. congratulations.

kids at weddings

kids love weddings just like adults; music, dance, food, and the opportunity to run like hell.

mary's wedding

congratulations to mary and mike. weddings are magical. everyone who cares about you most in the world is there for you. how often does that happen? mary looked like a princess and her groom is one lucky man. there is something magical about a wedding and we experienced it this weekend with the freuen family. we love you all.

cousins

there's nothing better than spending time with your cousins. syd and houston love taking trips to spoke, well not so much the driving part, but love hanging with the little ones.

bride to be

fun is getting together with your friends prior to your wedding day and celebrating your life to come. mary freuen had her bridal shower in seattle with family and friends halloween weekend. what fun was had. congratualtions mary! we love you and are so happy for your new life with mike.

tea

life brings great friends. those that you can chat with on ground level. ones that will not judge you, or resent you for any reason. i am lucky to have one of those friends in this crazy world that we live in. thanks jules for being my ground level, i adore you and value you and your talents.

Trick-or-Treat

trick-or-treating, brides-to-be, red sox grim reapers, and disney characters, what fun. all looking forward to the treat, and treats that follow weeks after halloween.
