Day 21, a wedding and three weeks of 10 for 10 for 10

  Saturday morning we ate and sorted seeds and put everybody through the shower in preparation for our friend Laurene's wedding.  Since I was up relatively early, I got a hot shower.  We should have thought to bathe some children last night, because our hot water tank cannot handle 10 showers in a row.  Well, at least not 10 warm showers.  You snooze you lose around here!

     Finding wedding clothes and shoes, etc, dressing, fixing hair took up the morning, so we had peanut butter sandwiches and got in the car.   Early to the wedding.  A red letter day.  Half an hour early to the wedding, and our choice of seats!

 Kate sang during the bride's and groom's taking of the communion, which was beautiful and meditative.  We waltzed to fantastic live music performed by a family quartet, and it was all over too soon.

Check out this picture and the one below.

I caught one of my children eating from her plate of vegetables at the wedding reception, and took a picture to prove it.  So, we did get our fresh veggies today.  Good choice, Christiana...I must confess, I had some delectable cheesecake, as well.  My favorite.
