Here Comes the Bride!!

I didn't get any pictures at the church because I was busy with other tasks...so these are from the reception which was held at the Mariott.

Jen & Joe's first dance as husband and wife.

Jen, Kelly,and Jen's special "wedding reception flip flops", hand-beaded by Kelly herself!

Some of the guys: Matt, Brian, Andy, and Jeff.

First photo of the Wrights and the Joneses!

Ella slept through quite a bit of the reception, but was bright-eyed when we got home... at 11:00! Oh, Ella Bug, what are we going to do with you!!??

On Thursday, July 5th, several gals gathered for dinner at Biaggi's to celebrate Jen's upcoming nuptuals. After dinner we headed to the home of Marcy Hart (Annie's Mom) where Annie had planned a personal shower for Jen. We had a blast!

Fourth of July Part 3...a fashion show at Lowena's!

After our stop at Abby and Eric's, we headed back to Fort Wayne for a get together at Lowena's to watch the Leo fireworks display. Andy and Liv were there with Campbell, and we had a little fasion show for the girls because they have several of the same outfits...enjoy!

Campbell and Ella on the catwalk...

Work it girls!

Ella, pull your dress down! That's not too lady-like.

Back "in the dressing room", holding hands.

While in Indy, we made at stop at Abby and Eric's to meet their new little girl, sweet Anna Rose, born June 8, 2007. She is abosolutely PRECIOUS! Here are a few photos from Ella and Anna's first visit.

Ella's Hats

Ella seemed to be fairly fond of this little yellow sun hat...

The green bonnet was a different story! Not so happy in this one!

Marietta Part 2...

There are so many pictures from Marietta, that I will have to do a few separate posts...maybe there is a way to fit them all onto one post, but I haven't figured it out yet!

First Trip to Marietta!

Ella made her first trip to Marietta, Ohio this past weekend. There is an annual family get together with Cheryl's side of the family each year around the 4th of July because that is Grandma Mabel's birthday. This year we celebrated a little early...and unfortunately, missing a few members of the family. It was still a great trip! Ella met so many new people!

She did so well in the car.
