Weddings, Wildflowers and Whimsy

For the second time in the last couple of months Luke has had the honor of performing the wedding ceremony of a former youth group student. It seems like that could not even be possible.

Madelyn has loved every minute of it. She listens to every word her daddy says.

But her favorite part, aside from seeing "the princess", is hitting the dance floor when the vows are done.

Weddings are whimsical and even more so through the eyes of this little beauty.

Fun on the Roberts' Farm

Just a Typical Tuesday

I Spy Pure Sweetness

Peeking through doorways at these two is my favorite!

our little book lover

This morning MK and I met some friends at Barnes and Noble for story time. Apparently they changed story time to Friday evenings instead of Friday mornings so there was no fun craft, story and snack. Madelyn did not even notice though. She plopped down with Pinkalicious and went on reading. Then she wanted me to read it to her. Followed by Emeraldalicious. Then she wanted to read books about snakes, so we did. Sometimes I think that she and I couldn't be more alike. Then she says that she wants to read about snakes and I realize we may not be as much alike as I thought.

I love her love for reading. We read about 10 books of her choosing and there were no fits when we didn't buy one to take home. It was great! Next week we are going to get our Tyler Public Library cards on Wednesday. I know that she will love checking out new books and bringing them home to read!
