Rachel and Jedidiah are Married

Rachel and Jedidiah were married in Wisconsin on December 30. Lucy, Briana and Curtis flew to Wisconsin to participate in the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and all eleven of Rachel's brothers and sisters participated in it. Rachel made her wedding dress and the bridesmaids made their dresses. Slideshows were viewed with fond memories of Rachel and Jedidiah's formative years. Rachel and Jedidiah plan to be missionaries, Jedidiah will finish school this summer.


Lucy loved getting to know Patrick while his parents were participating in the wedding. They sat in the back and Lucy kept him quietly amused. After finishing his ushering duties Curtis assisted in the childcare. Curtis rotated the toys to help keep him amused. Then when the toys were not enough the trumpcards were used--peas. Patrick would carefully pick one pea and place it in his mouth. When an errant pea went down on the cloth pew or rug Curtis would retrieve and properly dispose of the pea. When Patrick got tired of the one-by-one approach he grabbed a handful. We stopped the handful approach and Lucy would give him the peas, which he would grab and place in his own mouth. If Lucy stopped giving him peas he would place Lucy's hand in the pea container. Lucy and Curtis had great fun.

Lucy, Curtis and Briana stayed with Amber and Louie, the toy poodle, while in Wisconsin. We had wonderful times visiting and Amber had many life memories to share, which we greatly enjoyed. She has many crafts and we were fascinated by them. Her home was filled with precious creations and memory items, which were fun to explore. It felt a little like some of the episodes from the Chronicles of Narnia.
