September

Labor Day weekend Mark and I took a whirlwind trip to South Haven, Michigan and back for his cousin's wedding.  The wedding reception was on the lake and the waves were so big I felt for a second like I was at the ocean!  I admit I wasn't really looking forward to 8 hours both ways in the car to visit a place for just one day, but Mark and I enjoy roadtrips and I know someday we'll only wish we had 8 hours of uninterupted talk time together.  During our brief trip, we got to buy some treats from the South Haven farmers market, including 5 pounds of Michigan blueberries that we are still working on, and some homemade cinnamon-pumpkin potpourri that makes the house smell like fall.  :-)  It was fun to visit with Mark's family and enjoy the beautiful sunset and celebration together.

The beautiful bride and the groom:

Who doesn't love a good cupcake pyramid?  I had one of each flavor...

I love this picture of all the cousins - this group represents a total of 4 weddings in less than a year!
