Joanna Loves David: Wedding & Reception


My fourth daughter, Joanna, married David on May 6!

The pictures must start here, with the ring bearer racing down the aisle (mommy had candy waiting) and losing his shoe!

Meanwhile, his little sister toddled calmly down the aisle.


Joanna asked both her father and me to walk her down the aisle.


Joanna and David greet and thank their guests.


His vows...


And hers... (this photo taken by The Hornes Photo)


Oh, wedded bliss!


Victory!


My father is on the right.


And then outside under the oak trees for photos of the bridal party.

Mommy took his big stick away and threw it behind the bridesmaids, but the ring bearer is still all wound up!



He finally settled down. After the official picture, he decided to retrieve the stick, and then squeeze himself back through the line of bridesmaids.


Little kids and big sticks! What can I say?


This pic is just for the grownups!


And then on to the beautiful reception at a waterfront civic center.



The bride and groom dance the night away...




The bride's three brothers and one of her six sisters.


Our neighbor and my dad hit it off wonderfully with story-telling.


My oldest daughter's family!



Three sisters!


The groom's parents, Cris and Chuck, are wonderful people, and I'm so glad that Joanna and David live near them.



Beautiful cake table!





Traditional father-daughter dance...


Each of the bride's and groom's parents offered a toast or little speech. Here's mine...

My Baby Granddaughters


My newest grandchild, Ayelet, was born early Friday morning on her brother Isaac's fourth birthday. She also has brothers Jacob, who will be six in June, and Ezra, who will be two in August.

I realized as I was thinking about this photo post that I hadn't done one when her cousin Lyla was born in September!


Ayelet means "gazelle of the dawn"
or "first star of the dawn" and is
pronounced "eye-uh-LET."
Her middle name, Liora, means
"I have light."
My daughter Mary, the proud mommy.

Ryan is an awesome daddy!



Brothers Ezra and Isaac
(Jacob was in another room)
Oh, here's Jacob riding a long board
down my driveway the evening
before baby sister was born.



Some of the uncles and aunts,
my five younger kids...

Micah


Naomi

Ben

Melody




Here are more pictures of Lyla, 
who will be five months old tomorrow!

This Monday, just being silly!
Here is Lyla's big brother Lucas,
who will be two in May.


With Mommy and five of her aunts
at the baby shower for Ayelet.
(Melody and I were sick. Boo!)


And some from her birth on September 17.

Lyla's middle name is Graves,
which is my late mother's middle name,
and my great-grandmother's maiden name.





And Ayelet once again!



Don't I have beautiful grandchildren?
