11-5-15 Mr. & Mrs. Levi Kaiser

Pictures were at the fellowship hall before church; since it was really foggy and cool outside, we started inside. And since the lighting wasn’t that great for my camera, I only took a few photos, figuring the professional photographer would have much better px anyway. Stay tuned for those.

About the time we got dozens of pictures taken inside, and nicely ahead of schedule, the fog lifted, giving us a gorgeous morning! We hung around while the photographer scouted for the best spot…

…and then he took a bunch more.

A little free time before church yet.

Our wonderful reception hosts - - -

Thanks so much Nelson & Christy!

Making it official after church.

Presenting - - -

Mr. & Mrs. Levi Kaiser!

These next dozens of pictures were taken (mostly) while I was in line meeting people. Some are from A. Jill’s camera, some are from A. Sarah’s camera, and some are from my camera; and various and sundry people had all three cameras, I think. Hence, the order might not be exact, but oh well. I hope you can sense the blessing and joy of the day anyway! I for one am so grateful for all these glimpses of the reception that I couldn’t see from my spot.

Thank you photographers!!

And - - - if you can find the two pictures that were taken at almost exactly the same moment in time, by two different people, from two different cameras, from two different angles, let me know. If you’re the first to tell me, you just might get a bag of m’n’ms .

Thanks to all the kitchen help who kept the cake coming - - -

- - - and the punch made!

Jesse did a great job heading up the decoration committee . . . and it looks like he had plenty of help!

 

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

11-4-15 Rehearsal Dinner

We thoroughly enjoyed Levi & Echo’s long-awaited wedding weekend. It kicked off with rehearsal at church followed by a wonderful dinner and program with loved ones. Considering that there were 17 siblings in the wedding party, the youngest three being 7,6, and 3, rehearsal went very well! We were done in plenty good time to get to Morton for a delicious steak or chicken dinner. 

That’s a lot of steak for such a little girl!

I didn’t get a picture of the table of our wonderful servers, because, well, they were busy serving us; which we appreciated so very much. Thanks so much, Sauders, for being a part of our special evening!

Brief break after dinner,

then a memorable evening of singing, slideshow, memories, and advice.

Advice from Grandma: “Don’t be afraid to say, ‘I’m sorry; you were right and I was wrong.’”

 

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21

11-2-15 Catch-Up

by Kate

Hot chocolate by the camp fire last Sunday evening (October 25).

Peek-a-boo!

I babysat Anya Monday (October 26). This kiddo loves reading books and doing puzzles. Note the huge pile of books on the ground. We didn’t get through them all .

Levi wasn’t feel overly well so he'd been sleeping a lot. Four days before your wedding is not the time to get sick.

Last Wednesday the 28th, we babysat Jocelyn for a while. She is so cute.

Thursday we went skating at the Pekin ice rink. We went during the open skate, but we had the whole thing almost to ourselves. There were only three other people on it but two left after about 25 minutes; so most of the time there was only one other person skating with us. It was great!!

Friday morning frost on the patio cushions. Winter’s on its way!!

Friday night wildlife after we set up for the rehearsal dinner.

Saturday we had surprise visitors for awhile which was fun!
