Many events have occurred in our lives since the last post. We have a new addition..a beautiful "green"-beanie baby" Oralia Frances. YES!!! the wedding is still on. We are trying to manage the delicate balance of involving all friends and family while keeping our costs and impact on the environment down. We have been giving permission by the city park to reserve the city park where Callie and Michael spent many hours getting acquainted as the spot for a "midnight" ceremony. We are being challenged with the logistics of food prep, clean-up, dishes, "rain out" options, chairs/seating, music/entertainment etc. while staying within a budget and our beliefs about slow food, health and sustainability.
