Prayers from Maria Sunflower Field

Every year, Kiera and I volunteer together at the "Prayers from Maria" Sunflower field. We greet and talk with visitors and sell Maria merchandise. Though we never knew Maria, she attended Kiera's school and her family is still a member of our parish, so this organization is extra special to us! This year's harvest came sooner than expected (it was set to bloom in September, during childhood cancer awareness month). Due to construction, this may be the last year for the field at this location, but the field will bloom again next summer...somewhere!

Christina and Brennan's Wedding Day

August 25, 2018

Kiera passing out the programs...

Mimi is Bean's Godmother and both 

Godmothers did a reading at the wedding.

Lots of hugs and love for the bride!

On to Firestone Country Club for the reception! 

Before we went in, we took a gazillion pics and got

sooooo many good ones!

The bridal party rode in on golf carts!

Love their happy, genuine smiles! 

Emmy and Kiera...besties! 

"An aunt is like a mom, only cooler."

These two have way too much fun together!

All the heart eyes for this gorgeous pic of the Groth Family!

The Wallace's Card Box...it's the fourth one I've made! 

Bean, or shall I say Mrs. Wallace, shared 

these stunning professional photos with me

First Day of Fifth Grade

Our girl is off to 5th Grade! She's excited to have one of Ty's friend's mom be her teacher. This year, the theme of the school year is "We are God's MasterPEACE." May Kiera have a great year...may she learn a lot, practice peacefulness and kindness, remember that she is indeed a master piece and make many fond memories! 

The day before school is always "Teacher Meet and Greet"

Somehow I didn't get a picture of her with her homeroom 

teacher, Mrs. Wise, but here she is setting up her desk. 

SS Celebration

The Summer Sisters met for a birthday celebration on our patio. 

It was a beautiful day to catch up; the weather was sunny and 

bright. We had salads from Salad Kraze and sipped on iced tea

and blueberry lemon sangria using our SS wine glasses. The 

favorite gift was from Heather...matching Tiffany and Co. pots

with a succulent. We also got exciting news...Heather is pregnant!
