The Day After Thanksgiving and Beyond

Here are Darin and Artie rocking out at the infamous "Night After Thanksgiving Show" at Cozmic cafe. So many people were there! The crowd went wild, energy was high, and the music was loud. Jacob and Jorden Mingle. The band goes by "Treesus and the Sinners." They played three or four of Jacob's songs and I think three of Darin's.



Here are some audience members digging the show...Emily, CarolAnn and Ezra.


Darin's whole family was here. Dave, Ashley, Sinjin, Linzey, Dylan, Christy, Debby, the boyfriends Matthew and Mike, Annette and Mike, and even Grandma DeDe!





Next day was Dave's last day in town. We all walked downtown to browse the shops on Main Street. Dave and Ashley are fun because they actually like "antiquing."


They're getting married in May!



And today was Mary's baby shower. She is due in a month and she looks radiant!Rebecca and Jessica having apples and cranberries.

It was especially fun because there were a lot of babies around. I didn't really capture that in the pictures, but there were kids and babies and even a beautiful wolf puppy named Aisha. There are also chickens, 3 goats, a greenhouse, a yoga studio built from cob and straw bale, plants and herbs and fig trees and lots of sunshine.


Here is Mary getting crowned the Queen Mama of Somerset! Her sister-in-law Amber and the moms made her a bay leaf and sage tiara with a yellow rose and other natural goodies.


It was a lovely baby shower and we all brought a bead to contribute to a special "blessing" strand that Mary can keep with her as she gets ready to give birth to remind her of all the loving women that support her. There was a strong "sisterhood" vibe going on and it was really nice to be part of. Reminds me yet again of all the things I am thankful for!

Holy cow! I don't know how I missed this post. That show looked so great and Fun. I love that Darin and Art are in a band together, it's so perfect. And I have been wondering if Mary had had her baby, guess not. It was also nice to see a picture of Debby and was that Carol Anns new man by her side- Ezra? I like the idea of the blessing beads, so sweet and simple, but a beautiful thing. So what does Dave look for when he is antiquing? Thats fun that he is getting married, something for you to look forward to. Summer weddings are the best!

I missed this one too. Sometimes I wish males were acceptable at baby showers. Also sometimes not.

What a rockin family we own.
