Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial Day weekend we had the privilege of attending the wedding of some friends from our church.  Then entire weekend was blissful, rain shower after rain shower, and they had planned an outdoor wedding.  There were many prayers going out that the weather would cooperate so they could have their ceremony outside in this beautiful garden.  God totally answered all those prayers as the rain let up just in time and didn't do anything more than a sprinkle during the entire ceremony (I should note that the rain returned with a vengeance during the reception). Their reception was one of the most fun I have been to, honestly.  It was in this beautiful restored old barn (no livestock..used entirely for events) and we danced, ate good food and had a great time with friends!

Congratulations Ian & Franci!!

The beautiful bride and dashing groom!

The secret to keeping Josiah happy during the ceremony.

 There was a wooden swing on an old tree in the garden...fun!

Josiah & his friend Nehemiah were full of energy at the reception!

Happy 60th Birthday, Grandpa!

We just celebrated my dad's 60th Birthday!  I have to admit I think my dad looks remarkable for sixty!  He may joke he can get a "senior discount" at some establishments, however I doubt they would ever ask based on how he looks!

Here are a few pics from our day of celebration!!
Happy 60th Birthday Dad!!
