Congratulations Karen!
Adam and I were in Cedar Rapids this weekend celebrating my baby sis’ graduation from high school. Kyle was home from St. Louis and we had a big party at our house to wish her well. I didn’t get as many photos as I thought I did, I’ll have to get the cap and gown ones from my mom, but wanted to share our fun.
lemon-raspberry cake from Jule’s Bakery. So Good!
There she is! Practicing her smile before the guests arrive.
Peonies! My parents live on a quiet street that dead ends to an historic home with beautiful grounds that are open to the public. We were there the perfect weekend for enjoying the peonies (I go a little crazy about these flowers. Just ask Adam. When we go for walks if I catch site (or smell) of a peony bush we have to stop so I can say hello. I can’t wait to have a house so we can grow our own!)


ok, if that is a picture of me “practicing my smile for the guests” then i need to keep on practicing because that is THE worst picture ever.
