My beautiful children


IMG_4673 copy, originally uploaded by mnssams.

Naomi, Joshua, and Oceana.

Havalah made sure that Joshua was involved in her wedding in a special, but subtle, way. Rather than have Oceana throw flowers and Jacob (my nephew/best friend's son) carry the rings - Havalah had them carry teddy bears. Jacob carried one of Joshua's blue bears, and Oceana carried a matching pink bear (in honor of my sister/best friend's miscarried daughter). It was an absolutely beautiful way to include them, without making things too sad. I loved it. This picture is especially perfect...

*PS. I'm working on wedding photos. Since I was a bridesmaid, I don't have a lot to offer. But I'm slowly working through my/my sister's/family's photos - until we get Shannon's fantabulous pictures back!*

  4. It looks like it was a beautiful wedding. Your hair from what I could see was awesome. Oh and those sweet angels you were holding were adorable. Your sister did a wonderful thing in remembering the ENTIRE family in a special way.

    God Bless you all
