THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER....IN SOUTH BEND, IN

This is the magnificent Oliver Inn B&B, one of the two mansions built by the Oliver family back in the 19th centurly. The other one was the museum that we toured today. Do you see the frost on the trees? It was positively beautiful this morning.
This was the beautiful table where we had a breakfast of some special kind of French toast, sausage and fruit. Really nice.
This was the view out the window from our dining room at the frost covered trees, toward the mansion next door, Tippicanoe, which is now a restaurant. Perhaps tomorrow we can see inside. It was closed today. It's huge.
Bunny prints in the frozen frost covered side walk outside the Inn.
The beautiful roses the kids gave us, next to our wedding unity candle (which is about 5 inches shorter than it was 40 years ago) on the mantle in our room at the B & B
Sacred Heart Basilica at Notre Dame University. I wanted to see it, but unfortunately a Mass was in progress inside, offered by the top dog of the University, Fr. Jenkins. It was being offered for the people of Haiti. We did step inside; it was full; It is totally awesome and beautiful, but I could not take any pictures at that point.
Here's a picture that I forgot to post on Saturday night, when Christopher's family came early....for our surprise party, which I had no clue about. The Tooth Fairy had a 2-fer at our house. Josiah and Dakota both lost teeth. Wasn't that time saving for the tooth fairy?
