A Couple of Wedding Pictures

Here’s a great picture of Allegra and Heather, taken by Clare at Liz’s baby shower.

Allie in her blue monster suit!!

Allie started with green beans a couple of weeks ago and now eats like a pro. After the green beans she had squash, sweet potatoe and yesterday, brown rice cereal. She LOVES to eat.

Here’s Allegra with a gift from my parents’ neighbor.

I’ve been woefully neglectiful about keeping up her web page. I figured if it’s the form of a blog, it’d be easier. Plus, Heather can post without having to muck around in html.

Here’s some pictures from no particular time or place, but I just like ‘em.

Taking a nap with mom.

Wide-eyed and pacifying.

Love that smile.

Okay. I knew my daughter was damn cute. No surprise there. But once I dressed her in her first Renn Faire costume (thanks for the costume, Krista!), wow. Super cute.

The family playing dress-up.

I knew when I proposed to Heather that it wouldn’t be a surprise. The ring wasn’t even going to be a surprise. I had it custom-made from a couple of designs I’d seen on the internet. But I was so nervous that she might not like it, that I took her in for a fitting so she could see it. So there weren’t a lot of surprises. She knew on Saturday July 30, I was going to take her to McCormick & Schmicks for dinner, and she figured I would propose then.

So we got ready to go out to dinner. I told her to dress up. She put on a cute grey dress, I donned my suit. She finished up her hair and walked into the living room. I proposed. She said yes. “Sort of unimpressive” she thought. Huh. Didn’t put a lot of thought into that one.

We walk outside to get in the car. But no. No car. We got…
A THIRTY-FOOT LIMOUSINE BUS FILLED WITH FIFTEEN OF HER CLOSEST FRIENDS. THAT’S RIGHT, A ROLLING PARTY!

Then dinner at McCormick & Schmicks.

So Heather was surprised after all!

Brunch with the family.
