These flowers were the sight that greeted us around midnight when we finally got to Rachel's house. The next day started a flurry of activities--mostly shopping, planning, and finally some actual doing. In between I tried to do some baking and cooking and lots of great babysitting sweet little Hannah to make it easier for the others to keep going. Unfortunately, I didn't have anyone take pictures of me and her, so maybe Jenni or Rachel will post one. She was a great little traveler, but I think she was missing her brothers and daddy at the end!Dave had arrived the day before Jenni, Hannah and I got there, so we got to know him better. Since I'm home someone asked me what kind of a man Rachel is "getting". So, in case the rest of you are wondering...in my opinion, he has a heart for following God. His personality reminds me a bit of my niece's husband, Kyle and also in seeing him learn about some of the menno.-style of things. Rachel already taught him and what an augashik is and he used it appropriately several times!!
On Sunday we were invited to the girls' Aunt Fran and Uncle Paul's house for lunch. What Rachel and Dave didn't know was that there was a surprise shower as well. It was very small with just a few other relatives and we finished off the shower with the best homemade ice cream I've had in many years. In the 2nd picture their Aunt Rebecca is pinning a corsage on Rachel when we arrived. She has offered to do all of the flowers for the wedding! We left a lot of unfinished projects for the 2 of them to do, but I'm sure they can do it. Jenni's gift of organization will help to keep them on track.
