Congratulations Amber & Bryce!

We had an amazing weekend in Connecticut this past weekend as we joined with the rest of Ryan's family to celebrate the wedding of Ryan's cousin, Amber, and her now-husband, Bryce. The wedding was beautiful, and it was so great to see so many people we haven't seen in far too long! It was hard to choose which pictures to post here, but here are a few favorites.

I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Persuasive Essays
