Wedding pictures, finally!

There is only about 48 hours left until I board a plane for Peru.  I stayed up until 3:30 am packing.  I think I am pretty much done, except for last minute things I have to stick in.  It is amazing how much you can fit in a duffel bag, if you pack it right!
I recorded a few short videos for the kids - a couple of me reading, a couple of me singing, and a few just general messages to the kids.  (I hope that all evidence will be quickly destroyed upon my return! - because not only was I singing, I was already in my pjs with my hair in a ponytail on top of my head. Yikes!)  When I started the one to tell the kids I hoped they had a good first day of school, I started getting teary-eyed and had to take a breather and try again.  I am sure the kids will say that I am using my "crying voice" during those messages!
I realized last night that I didn't post pictures of the kids in the wedding like I had said I would in a previous blog.  So here are a few for your enjoyment.  I have looked at them over and over.  I just love seeing them look so handsome and beautiful!  If you have seen them on Facebook, these are the same as there.  The first one is my absolute favorite - Bella watching all the "Princesses", as she called them.

They are gorgeous! Could Elias look any more like Josh? Wow!! Enjoy your trip. We are praying for your safety and that God will use you in a powerful way. It is so hard to leave your babies but you are also showing them the importance of following what God calls you to do. Hang in there!!
