Abby and Nate

  Abby and Nate had a beautiful wedding.

Our Anna was one of the bridesmaids. She and Abby were in our homeschool co-op together during high school.

 It is so lovely to see these beautiful kids grow up and choose to commit themselves to marriage.

 Anna and Sarah, also a high school friend and neighbor.

 The reception was at the beautiful Old Courthouse Museum.

Some of our St. Margaret's home school co-op "aunties" made and served the cakes.

Family Shower

Our nephew Nathan is getting married in Sept., so we had a shower for him and his lovely fiancee' Raena. Nick and Bekah were in charge of games, and a good time was had by all. Raena tried to identify Nathan's leg by feel while blindfolded.

Things got a little raucous with this game.
