be in my heart

we had a wedding! and we're having a baby!! well, ahem, that would be my girl and her husband, who were married at the courthouse in santa barbara friday (they were married in wisconsin last summer also). i was official witness and photographer on friday. my super darling son in law, mike, wood burned a plaque with the words 'we're having a baby', part of the plan to surprise his parents in wisconsin, with the news. kimberly and mike sent the wedding photos, along with the ones of them holding the plaque, slyly tucked between. aww! congratulations brenda and harland, first grandchild! and congratulations my children! really couldn't be more thrilled, yippee!
