Autumn's Wedding Dress

Ray and Autumng got engaged a few weeks ago and will get married on June 30, 2007! She came down for a visit during the Thanksgiving break and we went dress shopping in Richmond. She found her dress and purchased it, but you will all just have to wait for the wedding to see it! Here she is looking through the many racks of dresses to find the perfect one.

Baby Burke Shower

We had a nice baby shower for Nicole Burke on Sunday afternoon. She isn't due until March, but since her parents were in town for Thanksgiving, it seemed like a good time to do the shower. We had a short devotional and we sang "Children of the Heavenly Father" from the Trinity Hymnal to celebrate God and his provision. One of the "games" we did was to take various photos of Jason and Nicole and cut out the different features like the eyes, ears, etc. Each of us then combined the best features onto one face to show what we thought Baby Burke would look like. The results were a bit alarming, but funny! When the boys came back from wine-tasting, there was a dramatic sunset in progress, so we snapped a few photos. The sunset only lasted a few minutes, so it's good we had cameras on hand.

Diet Coke and Mentos

So what's with the Diet Coke and Mentos? Hmmm....check out www.eepybird.com to see what the fizz is all about. For any of you who wonder what we stay-at-home moms and kids do while our husbands are at work, this might let you in on our goings on. (At least Violet's and my goings on!)
