Gathering The Moments

I'm Gathering the Moments with Cheryl again this month!




This month's Gathering The Moments is one of domestic beauty, the animals at our cottage and a wedding for Pastor Mike and Jenny, and the privilege I had in helping create a beautiful day for them.
These are the memories we want to remember.





Today is also my daughter Rachel's 15th birthday.



I'm sharing photos from the wedding of her, as I don't have a lot of candid shots of her.  She is not one who likes her photo taken, doesn't like to draw attention to herself.

She is a delightful young woman, inside and out.  Committed to the Lord, a lover of children and animals.  She is a girl who is able to see a task that needs to be done and is ready to help get it done.  She is funny, serious, bookish.  She is my daughter and friend.

 She is a delight to me everyday.  She is a gift to me and to our whole family.  I am so thankful for her.

    Your month in pictures is full of homespun beauty and life and giving of yourself. Lovely.

  2. And she is truly lovely and her color seems to be that shade of blue. A very happy birthday to her! Sweet Domesticity could be the title here. Everything is taking on a beautiful, fresh look with the new paint and the new stove. Hope that the newlyweds...both sets...are doing well!

    You have every right to be proud of her, Deanna!
    Home looks good. A bonus for us to see more photos of your family wedding.
