Baking and flowers and birds and a wedding and Father's Day fun!

It's been just 9 days since my last post, but I think I've taken 900 pictures since then, hahaha!  I will need to do two separate posts.

First off, some pictures from our baking class at church last Wednesday evening.  This time we learned to make Chocolate Orange Biscotti.  What a process - mix, form into loaves, bake 30 minutes, slice, bake 10 minutes, turn each piece, bake 10  minutes, dunk into your favorite beverage! They were way too good!!!




Last Thursday was a hot, beautiful day!!!  I was SO happy, especially  because I knew we were heading into days and days of cool, rainy weather. 





We had a bird last week that insisted on flying against the window.  And then over and over it would perch itself just looking inside.  





Do you see the nosey little thing on the right?





Last week grandson Brennan out in Portland had his last day of third grade.  Jeremy posted his first day of third and last day of third.  He REALLY grew in so many ways this school year.  


On Saturday my flute player Brenna got married!  She is 36, so has waited a long time.  I remember when she said that they had found the perfect venue for the garden wedding she had always wanted.  But alas is was a cool, rainy day!  But the garden wedding prevailed!  


Ross, the guitar player in our church band, and one of Brenna's flute playing friends provided the lovely music. 

Oops!  My video was taken down on YouTube because it was a copyrighted Michael Buble song.




It was just lightly raining during the beautiful ceremony. 



Everything about the wedding was absolutely beautiful!!




Sunday was a big morning at church,  not only Father's Day, but also baptism for two young girls.



Sam and Steph and the kids came to our house after church!  We had a great time eating and hanging out together.   

They are always so fun to be with.  



Sam and Steph left for home around 5:30.  Do you see the photo bomber on this picture?


The kids were staying until Wednesday.  LOTS of fun coming up!

Your church has such fun baking classes! Also, I always enjoy seeing the inside of your building, those beams are so beautiful!
The wedding looks so pretty, even with a little rain and I know your heart rejoiced hearing that music. (The video didn't play for me)
I see the photo bomber!
