Here comes the Bride

I can't believe our little sister Lindley is getting married!  And to make it all seem more real, we had a wedding shower for her this past weekend.  She is all grown up and will make the most beautiful bride!  Our theme was champagne and lace (and okay, it was chocolate too).  We had a wide array of chocolate-y dessert bites for everyone to sample, and some fruity champagne to sip on while doing so.  Hard to find something wrong with that!!





Lin- I'm so honored to be a part of your wedding party.  I am such a lucky girl to have you as a little sister!  We love you and Frank and can't wait to celebrate with you in October!

A break, if you can call it that

Pretty much the only break I've taken over the last 6 weeks is from blogging.  Otherwise, life has been going.  Full.  Force.  I have found truth to the statement that my Mom used to always make, and I never really understood... "There just aren't enough hours in the day."

Let's see, so Lucy is 4 months old now, and most people would admit that mothers with small babies should rightfully be tired.  Add in a 2 and a 1/2 year old, going back to work full time, and oh yeah, we moved... WHEW!!  Life has been hectic, but we are finally starting to hit our groove and get back into the swing of what can be defined as our new "normal."

So my goal is to do a better job of keeping up with this blog.  I really love doing it, for my own memories of my family growing and changing, and so that my extended family and friends can keep up with the Vollmer's!  With that being said, there are some exciting events coming up.  Visits from cousins, Nick's elk hunt, wedding events for Frank and Lin... can't wait for it all!

I'm excited to share some updated pictures of the kids.  Lucy literally looks like a different girl every day because she is changing and growing so much!  Here are her 3 month, and then 4 month pictures... what a cutie!!  Hard to believe it's the same baby when you look back at the 1 and 2 month pics.




Lucy also got to meet a new friend, Olivia.  Mike and Erin had her on August 1st, and just like Owen is to Ben, I'm sure she will be Lucy's best friend:)



From youngest to oldest... baby sisters and their big brothers!


Such a big girl sitting in her Bumbo!  


Some of you may already know, but Ben is a gold medalist for the marshmallow toss.  Priceless.
