And the Two Shall Become One ....

Yesterday was the big day. My girl got married. It was such a magical day. Very simple. Absolutely perfect.

We had a little bridal lunch at a tea room before going to the church to get ready.

Kyndal did everyone's hair and they did each other's makeup.

Just before pictures we presented Kyndal with her "somethings". For 'Something Old' we tied her baby ring to her bouquet with a lace ribbon. For 'Something New' we counted her new earrings. For 'Something Borrowed' she was loaned an antique hankie owned by Collin's great-grandmother. And for 'Something Blue' we had all of the ladies in the wedding party write a little note to Kyndal on the bottom of her wedding boots with blue sharpie marker.

As Kyndal and Collin had plans right after the ceremony (Kansas City Royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals baseball game!), they opted for photos before.

And that's what I'll share with you now ... just the ones I managed to capture on my phone.

First look ...

A groom and his brothers.

Oh my heart ...

And again ...

And again ....

Waiting for his bride ...

And going to get her ...

With this ring ..

I thee wed ..

And the two shall become one.

You may kiss your bride.

What a perfect day, folks. What a perfect day.

And now we are doing last minute packing and prep to leave for our 7 day caribbean cruise tonight! The happy couple is renewing their vows on the beach in Cozumel, Mexico, on Tuesday. Now the real fun begins!!!

Congratuations, Collin and Kyndal Werths. I love you.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

A New Year, the Same Me

Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
