Mr. & Mrs. McCarty

On July 3, we had the privilege of being a part of a very special wedding day. My sister, Tessa and new brother, Tom are now husband and wife! What a joy it was to be a part of such a special day. The wedding day was wonderful, a special celebration of the beginning of their lives together, but even more exciting than that day is knowing that the rest of their days here on earth they will strive to glorify God in all that they do. We love you both dearly and are so blessed to be able to call you family! Elliana was one of the flower girls, Jedidiah, a ring bearer, Jon was an usher and also assisted the little ones down the isle during the ceremony and I was the matron of honor.

With the beautiful bride... such a joy to stand by your side Tess!

Can't wait to celebrate many more special days with you both!

so... we've got 2 kids!

I know that we have had 2 kids for almost 6 months now but I still get caught off guard every once and awhile and think "wow... we have 2 kids!" As Jed gets older and starts doing things other than sleeping, crying, nursing and just laying there and I begin to get glimpses of Elli and Jed laughing at each other, sharing (or not sharing) toys, interacting and as you can see in the photo, sitting in highchairs together, I am reminded... "I have two of them!" And for that I am so grateful!

sidenote: do you notice the only thing left on Elli's plate is green beans? That stinker!
