Rocks? They must be climbed. That's Baby Moosey, my doggie, in front, and his brother - Batman or The Riddler, I'm not sure which one - in the back.

That's my dad on the left, and I'll give you one guess as to who the man on the right is :) They are, unmistakably, brothers.

When I was younger I couldn't fathom how people could mistake one for the other...it's clear to me now!

My brother and his beautiful bride, sharing their first dance together as husband and wife. It was a wonderful day of celebrating their love for each other.

Thanks for everyone who left a comment on yesterday's photo, I did go with the pins. It turned out fantastically - the topper Megan picked was perfect, and a few flowers here and there made it a show stopper. I would definitely make a wedding cake again, but I won't do it for free next time ;)

Nearly done! I need your opinions: What should be the front of the cake: Photo 1 (left) or Photo 2 (right)?

I had thought the front of the cake would be what I have pictured on the left, and the right would be the back. However, I think I really like the look of the pins being visible! It's like it's all dressed up and those are the white buttons on the cake's black-tie clothes, if you will. What do you think?

Yesterday was cake baking day, today was cake icing day (here are 2 of the three with the crumb coat on, chilling out while they wait for a thick coat of icing), and tomorrow shall be cake building day. This really is a lot of work, but it's fun work. It's fun seeing this thing take shape. Steve, if you're reading this, take one look at this project of mine and don't ever doubt that I love you!

I woke to fog hugging my world, thought it would make for some nice photos if only I could get out to take some. Alas, the day is too busy for that luxury. I wondered where my shot today would come from, then I looked at my deck and saw the rails filled with beautiful webs just waiting to be photographed. Thank you Jesus, for knowing my needs and providing before I even ask.

One of my precious nieces, who is in town for Saturday's big event. I haven't seen this little lady since she was 6 months old, and now she is TWO! She still looks exactly the same, only bigger. Same beautiful, striking eyes (I challenge you to find a child with more incredible eyelashes!), and same strawberry blonde hair :)

Wyatt, Markus, (I mean Robin and Batman) and Clay all got haircuts today, in preparation for the wedding this Saturday. I wasn't sure how the little ones would do, but of course Batman and Robin are brave, so it was no big deal :) They all look so great in their matching fauxhawks.

Itty bitty cupcake, packed with yum. Not enough icing on it though, which resulted in me grabbing a spoon and eating some straight from the bowl. I'm not usually big on icing, but this Swiss meringue buttercream is the best I've ever had in. my. life.. I may very well be sick of it by the end of the week (making a huuuuge batch of it on Thursday in an attempt to build a wedding cake for my brother), but while I'm feeling the love for it, I shall eat. Because I can.

Clay is finally on the mend, and took me on a much needed date tonight. My wonderful mom came to take care of our kids (thanks, Mom!!) and we stopped to look at a show home in our neighbourhood, drove to the theatre, walked to the Freehouse downtown for supper (I had a grilled chicken and capicolo sandwich with sweet fries, and a Keith's white), and then we walked back to the theatre to see Inception - if you haven't seen it, the rumours are true...it really is fantastic.
Thank you for the great night out, Clay!
