Wedding Season

It's definitely that time of year, isn't it… little lovebirds everywhere standing before God, speaking their vows, committing themselves to each other, and starting a whole new life together as one. 

We have several weddings to attend in the next month and are looking forward to each one. Sam and Charlie even get to be the ring bearers in a wedding this weekend. New experience for both of them.

To kick off the wedding season, we had the pleasure of attending the annual Q and U wedding in the Fab 5's classroom. This event may sound a little crazy to those who haven't had the pleasure, but I assure you it oozes all kinds of cuteness that I just can't even describe. 
The ceremony is in the sanctuary and it is led by Pastor Dave, who leads Mr. Q (the boys) and Miss U (the girls) in sharing their vow to always stick together to form words like "question" and "quandry."

 Here is my little buddy, Charlie, walking with Cate and Jake. 
Apparently, he is taking this quite seriously.
 This picture below is actually quite amazing. This classroom of second born children has a really difficult time being still, quiet, patient, good, normal, etc (Charlie fits in beautifully!)  You can see how well behaved they all were for this ceremony. Amazing, really.


 I have a feeling this look Charlie is giving is what we'll see for the entire time he is walking down the aisle in his upcoming wedding. Too funny!

 Silly Faces!!!

 After the service, our sweet teachers hosted a Mothers' Day brunch for all of us mothers. The kids presented us with their precious gifts (which puts them on top of the world!). It was a nice treat for all of us.

In That Space

Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…

Peak 8 and Carter Park

Image
We geared up the next morning to enjoy a few more of the fun adventures Breckenridge has to offer.   We started with a gondola ride up to Peak 8 This gave us an opportunity to check out the ski slopes and helped convince me to take Sam and Charlie skiing...  Yikes!! (more to come on that)   Our kids are going to jump in a snow pile anywhere they can and start playing...   You know it's a good day when you're sitting beneath some blue skies 8,000 feet above sea level, having a drink and some lunch outside near a small fire, and watching people enjoy the gorgeous slopes of Colorado. Robbie's Tavern at Peak 8 ~ highly recommend! Onward to Carter Park to indulge in some sledding!   Can you even stand this smile? We took a picture just like this one below in this same place 10 years ago with a baby Sam and Charlie laying on top of me!  Oh the years gone by....   And finally, a few sl

Charlie learns to swim!!!

Image
It seems that there is a magical moment in every child's life where the concept of swimming just clicks. I remember Sam had his moment in the Renaissance Hotel overlooking Manhattan just before his 4th birthday. We had been driving for 11 hours straight, and he was so excited to get some energy out - he just started swimming all over the salt water pool.  Well, Charlie had his moment this past week in Orlando. While he was first a little angry that his mommy and daddy forgot his swim vest, he later become the happiest little boy in Florida!   Racing his big brother Great Job Charlie Hatcher!! So proud of my newest little fishy! Here are a few others of our day at the pool. I think I accidentally incriminated myself here … with a shot of Sam sipping on my chai :/   Is it just me, or does Sam look exactly Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber in this picture below??   Love. It.   Big Cannonball into the pool! Now a backflip...   Charlie g
