Playing with Picasa

Did you know that Google has this FREE photo editing program called Picasa that you can download for free?   I just discovered it last night and I have enjoyed learning about it.   I love this film grain effect on this photo of my two favorite boys :-)   I encourage everyone to try it!

An Early Halloween at Eastchase

Chris and Jessica's Reception

The flower arrangements at the reception were beautiful! I just love flowers!

I told Chris I wanted to take a picture of his hand as a married man :-)

Ryan and Emily - wow, they have grown up before our very eyes.

The Whatleys dancing to a great band they chose.

Table arrangements for the tables outside. The weather was perfect to sit outside and Rob and I did at tables with the rest of the family.

I had just sat down and I was sweating a little because I got so nervous with all those people there. I wish I were not that way.

Rob coming back with us something to drink.

They chose a great site for the reception downtown.

What a view when you first came in.

Isn't this so pretty?!!! And, what a great idea, too. They used the bridesmaids' bouquets again for this arrangement.

Chris and Jessica's Beautiful Wedding Ceremony

Wow, First Baptist Church was so beautiful. The weather on Saturday, October 9, 2010 was perfect!

It was the first event that we had taken Rob's "new" car to. He loves his new ride.

I thought Rob looked really nice in his new suit. But he always looks nice. I love him in blue - he has the most beautiful blue eyes.

The entryway with the sign-in sheet.

Mr. and Mrs. Porter. I just love them. They are so kind and nice.

What a great photo of Carl and Margie! Margie is so beautiful!

Presenting...Mr. and Mrs. Whatley. What a great couple and Jessica was lovely. Her dress was so pretty.

Their first kiss.

I loved the cross they had that was covered in flowers. Jessica said it was her florist's idea. I wish we had had that at our wedding.

This little flower girl picked up every flower petal she had thrown down. She was adorable.

This church is beyond beautiful.

Chris and Jessica's Rehearsal Dinner

Rob's nephew, Chris, had his rehearsal dinner Friday, October 8, 2010 at the Capital City Club on the spectacular 22nd floor with unbelievable views of the city. He and Jessica had a band playing when you came in and it was such a nice atmosphere. They also had the best appetizers ever! It was so good seeing everyone again. It had been too long.

I loved the place cards.

The table arrangements were so pretty!

We were happy to be there and happy for the couple!

They had a great slideshow that had pictures of them even as babies. Too cute!

Drew getting ready to say the before meal blessing prayer.

The food was amazing! Our compliments to the chef. I don't know how he managed it but when they brought Rob's food to the table he got 2 steaks! He was the only one.

Car did a great job with everything. He and Margie were great hosts.

Geri and Drew...they had just gotten back from Ireland.

Rob chatting with JB.

Kevin showing that he was almost as tall as Rob now :-)
