I apologize for not writing earlier this week... but, PHEW, school has been so very busy!

Last weekend, Mark and Margaret hosted an Invitation Production Party at their home. I am humbled and overjoyed by the Warrens' support! It was a real family effort: Margaret, Grammie Cathy, Grandma Jane, Aunt Karen and Aunt Cristina, and his younger cousins all helped us compile our invitations. I thought we had brought a lot to complete, but after the first hour we began to run out of things to do! Kim arrived just in time to "oooh and aaah" at the invitations, and help us wrap up the last few details.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to post too many photos to ruin the surprise of the invitations! Suffice to say, they are LOVELY and I am glad to remember the "community effort."

Christopher spent a good deal of Thursday evening printing, measuring, and cutting our invitation enclosures. We had thought we'd use the CCS printer, but we suspect the printer had a faulty drum because the colors were over-saturated and streaky. It cost a few extra dollars to have our stationary printed at the local Kinkos, but the quality was impressive.


After the family left on Saturday evening, Chris, Kim, Michael, Mark, Margaret, Benjamin and I enjoyed a delicious eggplant parm supper and ice-cream at the Dairy Dome.
