Best Life

Somehow I thought today was Niece's Day.  It is not.  But it is Just Because Day.  So I am paying tribute to my beautiful nieces just because!                                                                           Maddy - 17 and gorgeous!                                                      Layla - what made you want to sit in the lobster pot?                                                                ...

 More pictures from the wedding - thank you Peter for sharing with me!                                                                                     Mom and Kevin                                                                                     Peter and Isis                                                         ...

 For most of the day I watched Isis prepare for the wedding.  Every stage was carefully thought out including cologne for Kevin.  So many beautiful details and so many friends and family helped make it perfect!                                                                 Plate made by Isis                                                            Joe, Dan, Justin and Tim - love the smiles!                                                  Shoes by Maddie - the maid of ...

  Mr and Mrs Kevin Calitri. Great day.  Awesome ceremony and reception.  Late night.  More tomorrow.

 I was finding it hard to not smile today.  I am so excited for the kids that their day is finally arriving.  That all their hard work (okay more Isis than Kevin) is coming together and we get to celebrate their marriage!   I managed to find the iron and ironing board (last used at least two years ago) and Kevin brought me his clothes and Nick's (MOH boyfriend) and Paul's.  Glad to help. We have moved out of Emily's bedroom and into the playroom so Susan can sleep there while she sits with Brianna tomorrow.  Fenway has not received the message.  We will see who he decides to sleep with tomorrow. The kids used to have sleepovers in the playroom.  Now we have come full circle!  Sort of like camping!  Just another adventure. National Danny Day.  May the best man sleep well and have his thoughts in order tomorrow!                              ...

 Mundane.  A grocery list after creating a menu for our trip to Maine after the wedding.  Sanding the hope chest.  Laundry.  Dishes.  A little cleaning.  Animal care.  A little reading.  All filling the gorgeous day nicely.  And then... Kevin called thinking I was picking up his pants while I thought it was him. With only 5 minutes until the tailor closed for the weekend, I called and he agreed to wait for me.  Whew!   (Tailors R Us on Mendon Road - awesome service!) And then... Tallulah went missing.  Usually we are tripping over her and she is calling us to let her in the house.  After more than an hour of calling and walking up and down the road and in the woods, Paul called Megan for hints.  Take the Blueberry to search for her.  (TJs car that is blueberry in color.)  I started the car and before I could even put the car in drive - here she comes!  The specific muffler noise usually means ...
