Lindsay & her "Grammie" who is almost 93 years old...

It now is two weeks left before the wedding~

This weekend was the wedding shower,

bachelorette party, & the bachelor party...

The girls spent the weekend at the matron of honor's home~ Tami~ while the boys (I mean men) sported a cabin setting at Lake Anna. Kirk & Lindsay were not to talk to each other~ and the boys (I mean men)- confiscated Kirk's cell phone early in the weekend...

Two of the three flowers girlies in this pic--Lindsay, Ashley, & Gracie

A perfect "tee" for the girl's nite out with the soon to be bride!

Here are most of the girl's who will be boarding the shiny black party bus to go wine testing....

Party! The party bus was huge- well accommodating~ and I hear was loads of fun!

Wedding three week countdown...fun!

Lindsay & Kirk this weekend

The wedding between my youngest son Kirk & Lindsay will be in three weeks~~ and at this point we ALL needed just family time~ fun and laughs~ just being together.

With the wedding plans in full gear, Lindsay getting ready to begin her Ph D program at George Washington University, and a whole lot of other things going on...

It was a blessing to have all the kids come for the weekend...

So with this in mind ALL the kiddos came either into town, or took the short drive over~

AND everyone slept over~~~ and we had some fun! Here's how the weekend went~

and we certainly had alot of laughs!!!

First: This is my daughter Tami. Tami is Lindsay's matron of honor. My daughter Tami is very talented and can touch her nose with her tongue.
But wait...

We learned Ms. Lindsay can touch her nose with her tongue too!
Such talented ladies.

Next Lindsay sported a perfectly formed handstand at the edge of the pool.... BUT Kirk thought he would try to "out shine" his finance with his version.

It was sad--very sad...Kirk actually asked us if his legs were straight and together? Is he kidding?

It was just over a year ago that our oldest son Joey & Jodi were married...

Just a picture of Lindsay and my daughter Tami

when they are not entertaining the family with their talents..

And one final picture of our son-in-law (Tami's husband Mike) with his version of

a flip into the pool...

Go Mike!

Welcome to the family Ms. Lindsay! We love you!

Four Week Wedding Countdown Begins...

Lindsay & Kirk sitting on the dock finalizing wedding preparations... The next time they come down to the Eastern shore~ they will be married here.

We had a terrific weekend down on the Eastern Shore! Kirk & Lindsay~ will be married in just 4 weeks on our Eastern Shore property. We all went down to finalize wedding preparations.

Kirk & Lindsay enjoying some sun...

Lindsay created the wedding "blue prints.

Lindsay decided that following the wedding ceremony appetizers & drinks will be served here~ along side the water~ graced with little tables, candle lighting, etc...before dinner is served under the tent...

Lindsay takes a phone call, but cautiously watches Kirk as he cuts the Cambridge Rum soap that will be gifted to family & friends at the wedding...

Wedding favors filled with Cambridge Rum handmade soap...Lindsay & Kirk also have another wedding favor for their guests~ but that will be a surprise!

They made time for some Maryland crabs~ just caught off our dock.

In our yard are Maryland's state flower: Black Eye Susans in full bloom...

Soon to be house guests will reap the benefits of fresh linens washed & lined dried under the delicate warm breeze from the water...

All in all there is still LOTS to do in the next 4 weeks...

And we look forward to sharing this everybody

Waterfront wedding soon...
