Corey and Danielle are getting married sooner than planned. The “magic” part is their love (awwwwwwwww) and that it’s a magic-themed wedding. The father of the groom will be doing a little performance since the bride loves magic. The invitation is below – Danielle and I made it (more awwwwwwwww).
How beautiful is this hummingbird in our living room window?
…..and a double rainbow in our back yard – more beauty from nature…..
…….and tulips Corey picked me in his yard – they are my desktop on my computer at work – I love love love them…..
…..and Carrie and Chloe – the lovefest continues. Carrie cannot just let Chloe sleep alone. Carrie will go wherever Chloe is and squeeze her way in even if there isn’t enough room, and Chloe never minds – she enjoys the company.
Doesn’t Corey make a lovely foot model? These are Corey’s newest socks, although these are from March 6, so I’m wayyyyyy behind on posting. The socks Corey got for Christmas were not a perfect fit so I made him these to his specifications (mental note – Sock Wizard doesn’t work for everybody).

Corey and Danielle have set a date to get married – September 25, 2010 October 17, 2009. We love Danielle like our own so we are ecstatic to have her “officially” in our family. Corey proposed and gave her the engagement ring on November 7, 2008. We look forward to their future together. Corey……you did good!!! Danielle……we’d like to humbly say we think you did too!!! We love you both.
This is Corey and Danielle when we were leaving Menards with a whole bunch of fence. This was the second load. Corey and Danielle had already picked up the concrete, posts, screws, etc. On the back of the truck, you can see we answered the age-old question “Where’s Waldo?”. Who knew he was hiding on the back of a Menards truck.
This is Mark and Corey working on the front corner.
This is the first beautiful section finished. The whole fence is finished now. It took two days of working in wind and rain and cold. Don’t let the beautiful sunshine in the picture fool you. It was cold and Danielle and I both have fierce windburns on our faces. All that is left to finish is the gates, which is the easy part. We all agreed the worst part was setting the posts. We also had our first sleepover at Corey and Danielle’s. Since they only live forty minutes away, we have never spent the night there. It was a fun and very productive weekend.
That is the subject line of Corey’s e-mail with this picture attached. So without any further ado…….I bring you Stripes and Louie……..
Corey and Danielle’s blanket is finally finished!
Corey and Chloe share a moment.
Corey and Mark went to the World of Wheels car show at the McCormick Center in Chicago yesterday. As a study in contrast, this is my favorite picture they took:
As beautiful as that picture is, below is Mark and Corey’s favorite picture from the show:
There are tons of really cool pics they took of funky cars and trucks and skyscapes of Chicago – but somehow that is their favorite picture. Just to redeem themselves, I’ll post a picture of the two of them taking of picture of themselves – they are both really great guys who had a really great guy day.
Corey and Danielle’s new kitten has been named. His name is Louie. He’s adorable and loving and Stripes and Louie get along beautifully.
