44 days!

Eli and I skipped swing dancing class last night as he is under the weather :(

I made a dark chocolate cake with triple chocolate fudge chocolate chip frosting for a little "bridal shower" for one of the girl's at my work who is getting married this Saturday. Soooooo goood I think I will make one for Mother's Day dinner!

It seems like most of our guests have got their invites by now, if not they are on their way! But we have been getting such an awesome response to the look of our invitations and envelopes! The silhouette stamp on the front was Eli's idea!

An excerpt from Mom's e-mail of Tuesday night in the wedding backyard...everybody is working so hard!!
"FYI= We, Dad, Mom, Henry, and Brooke, filled the block cells on the new wall behind the pool last night. We were out there until 10:51. What a work out. I told Brooke and Henry that when you stay here you get a free membership to a gym. 28 bags at 80 lbs a piece. (then add the water to that) Henry mixed, Brooke scooped from the wheel barrow and handed it to me, I passed it down to Dad and he poured in the cells and tamped. The only thing that kept us going was that there was homemade strawberry ice cream waiting for us in the house."
