Matt & Molly's Wedding

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kaelber! They had a gorgeous wedding and reception at the Gervasi Pavilion. Thanks to staff Facetime-ing me with their personal cell phones at the hospital, Grandpa got to watch all of the ceremony live and segments of the reception. 

The fall color was in peak season! Family pictures were chilly, but at least it wasn't raining!

The couple made us laugh as they shared their vows ("laugh/cry AT you" instead of "WITH you"). Joe also made us laugh as staff thought the black spot on the ground was from a lighted sparkler, but it was actually Joe's thrifted shoes falling apart!

Emerson said his favorite part was the bridal party couple that leapfrogged in and swung the bouquet to hit an imaginary ball. We all enjoyed catching up with family and friends, dancing, eating, and celebrating the couple!

Matt & Molly's Dinner Rehearsal

We enjoyed a lovely dinner following the wedding rehearsal at the Gervasi Bistro. Our waiter was particularly good and the food was great. We were all sorry that Grandpa couldn't be there and captured video for him.

Spooky Fun at Oakland Nursery

On Sunday, I took Emerson and friend Bryson to Oakland Nursery to play in the spooky little houses.

We enjoyed hosting the Jumps for the fall gathering. Our time included the Buckeyes, basement play, boardgames, an abundance of food, dog entertainment, and more!

Celebrating Second Place

The Reds placed second in their coach-pitch baseball championship game. Now Emerson has a new item in his awards collection-- a championship ring!
