Bridal Shower for Natalia

Natalia's Bridal Shower

Joe and Natalia's wedding is just a little more than a month away now!  Her mom and I gave a bridal shower for her May 26th along with the bridesmaids.  It was so nice - they received beautiful gifts and should be well on their way to getting their household up and running.  Thank you all for coming and showering them with your love and support.  This is the cake Natalia's mom, Edel, made. It was so delicious!  She should be a professional pastry chef!!   The wedding venue is a farm out in Elburn - a western suburb.  It is so beautiful there.  Here is a picture of them on the farm:

and the path they will walk to say their vows:

I can't wait - love you both so much - again, can't say it enough - we are so blessed!!!

May Birthdays

Happy Birthday Vince and Sarah!

My "baby" celebrated his 22nd birthday last Thursday with his sister-in-law, Sarah!  So fun to have 2 on the same day!  We went to Coopers Hawk and had a wonderful dinner and a little wine-tasting.  They do have some delicious wines to try out.  We had a great time and as always sweet Lilly kept us all smiling - she is such a precious little lamb!  Vince, I pray your year ahead is blessed with love and happiness and I thank the Lord for the wonderful man of God that you have become.  We are so blessed to have you as our son and can't wait to see the future plans the Lord has for you.  And Sarah, we could not be more blessed to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law in every way - I pray the Lord blesses your year ahead with love and happiness, too.  I am so thankful for my wonderful family.
