Family time in Wisconsin
This is the old farmhouse which is being lovingly remodeled and lived in by my niece and her family which includes four children, ages 7 months to 10 years. It was built by her husband's great uncle. 
Thanksgiving night, the engaged couple opened a few gifts. Here the bride-to-be examines the label on the quilt we made for them. Below, Mr. Pear and our son and daughter-in-law outdoors on a beautiful sunny (and not too cold!) day before the wedding.
The wedding was on Saturday afternoon in a small but beautiful church, St. John's Lutheran in Hayes, Wisconsin. Here is an image from the Internet of the church being constructed in 1904. It has a VERY tall steeple and is a yellow brick church with stained glass windows. The last photo in this post is me holding my 7-month old great nephew while waiting for the ceremony to begin.
I hope to post some more photos from the wedding soon! [Our camera is still not 100% so others in the family will have to share!]

Quick now, here, now, always -
A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one. ----T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding

Lovely house - we had one exactly like that in N. CA - only it was one story and not two. It was built in 1888. Love those old houses!
It's so nice to see you here on Monday morning...you were missed. But it sounds like your holiday was filled with good family traditions and new beginnings. You look wonderful...as always! Welcome home!
Looks like a wonderful time Lila. Love the house...your pictures
