Weekend Wrap Up (Kelsey's Wedding) 10.10.15

This marks my 100th post! What better way to do it than to write a post about the marriage between Greg and Kelsey Hart! In May, I wrote a blog post about Kelsey and how great of a teacher she was. Caroline absolutely loved Kelsey and she was excited for her big day to see her in her beautiful white dress.

On Saturday, we left home around 11:30 am to assure we arrived in Galena, IL in plenty of time. Thankfully we only had to stop once on the way there. Galena was beautiful this time of year, but I think we were ahead of most of the leaves changing by one week or so. On the drive, we were hoping Caroline would take a mini nap, but caring for her baby the entire way was more important. She didn't nap once.

Our weekend wrap up - Trip to Galena, IL (8.7.15-8.9.15)

This weekend, we went to Galena, IL and it was our first family trip with the four of us. The kids had a great time and so did Dave and I.

On Friday evening, we had to can some corn and black bean salsa so the tomatoes were awaiting us when we got back on Sunday. We got twelve jars! Even though it is a lot of work cutting up the peppers, onions and tomatoes - it is well worth it when the slow is flying and we're eating the food we canned.
