More wedding pictures

When I was loading the pictures, I had them in order, but some reason the pictures starting loading in pile, rather in order. Since Abbey is the one who fixes things like this, I was just going to leave it. Then I back spaced and these were the pictures that came up on top.

The next two pictures are of their first kiss.


Roger announcing the establishment of the Joshua Erber Family.



Now after this, the pictures are all mixed up.

Jonathan is singing, Wendy is trying to deal with Abbey's dress, Bob and I are trying to figure out what route we need to take in order to get up to where we belong (getting around ring bearer, flower girls and a lot of dress train.), Abbey and Josh are gazing into each other's eyes.

Obviously, the lighting of the unity candle.

This pic is blurry, but they are so cute grinning at each other.

Bob is speaking with Josh.

Roger speaking to Abbey.

Vows

Exchanging rings.

This is the beginning, just after Bob has handed Abbey off to Josh.

Perhaps we'll be able to get the pictures back in order, within this post sometime.

Happy Birthday Wendy.

Happy Birthday, #19 today. We love you Wendy.
What a blessing you are to our family.

Looking for Wedding Pictures

February 26 is Justin's birthday and today, February 27 is Wendy's birthday so even if the big EVent overshadows everything, we still wanted to wish them both a happy day. Though, it does give us another chance to post more wedding pictures, since Wendy and Justin played a part in wedding day.

Our wedding pictures are dwindling and the professional pictures won't be available to us until a month later. Also, some of our pictures came out blurry, {not because of the one using the camera, but because of lense issues and lighting...hmm maybe I need a different lense :)}. It is really difficult to be the family of the bride AND shoot lots of pictures, so.... if possible, please send us your pictures, that is if you'd like to share them with us; or let us know if you know of any posted on blogs. We're making the rounds of known blogs to us, but there might be more out there, and for now we're enjoying our blurry pictures.

BTW, thanks to all of you who picked up a Hill camera and snapped pictures for us, we are cherishing those right now. Thank you.

Birthday boy! 4 years old.

Four years ago, Justin Robert Hill was born in Seoul, South Korea, it was not too long after that, we were told that this beautiful boy was to come into our family. We are forever thankful for Justin and God's plan of bringing him into our family. We love you Justin!!
As I write this now, the peals of laughter that are coming down the hallway bring blessing and pleasure to me. He is a joy to all of us.

A few wedding pictures...

Just a few pictures from Saturday, I need to run an errand and this is all I got loaded, so rather than waiting I'll leave these as they are:

Abbey and Josh

This picture is from the Erber's blog, very sweet.

Wedding day....it was a good day.

Family picture

Christmas family pictures

Christmas?

Christmas pictures from our family times. Some of the pictures are from our Christmas "evening" and "morning" and then a couple from our family sleep out under the tree. We had to do Christmas 4 or 5 days after Christmas this past December but it was a good time of games, food, hanging out, gifts and just being together.

Shower #1

This was Abbey's first shower, hosted by ladies from our church, Christ's Church. It was a beautiful shower. I hope I'm not missing anyone, but so many people helped to make it very special, thnak you Beatty's, Yen's, Webb's, Heather E., who made the cake, Strands, Lauren made crasages, Carlson's, Von Holten's, and I know so much went into making it a wonderful day for Abbey.
Raeanne and Megan C. plus Anna V. wrote and preformed a very meaningful song for all us. We're still trying to figure out how to share it on the blog. :)
Again, thank you Christ's Church, we feel very blessed.

We're back!!

We've had computer problems...it all started with that dreaded blue screen. Mark Andrew said he had to pull out his old forensic tools and tricks to rescue our data, but he managed to save everything, so we hope.

So we'll try to catch everyone up on what has been going on in our house.

It is 10:36 AM Saturday morning, February 16. Next week at this time Bob will have one beautiful girl on his arm, ready to walk down the isle. We've been preparing for that event for the last few months.

Above collage is from "Do it yourself Messiah", way back in December.

Sherah's Shower

Even though we spent the afternoon at a beautiful shower for Abbey, I thought I'd put the pictures up from Sherah's shower, which happened (actually) Dec. 30th. Abbey's shower pictures aren't quite altogether yet, so I'll get those up as soon as we can get them together (lots of fun stuff to come!)
First picture above is of Sara Lennon, Abbey, Sherah, Brittany C. and Aubrey (C.) F. I'm fairly sure it is Marty being silly with the bunny ears behind Sherah, no wonder Daniel and Marty are great friends :)
We've known the Baumgarten's for a very long time. Let's say Daniel and Sherah met when the two of them were the "only children", which wasn't very long for either of them. Also for many years the Baumgarten's and Hill's, along with several other families have fished together, vacationed together and just had a lot of fun together (and lots of other things, like the Baumgarten's have blessed our family more times than we can even begin to mention.) Lately, Daniel and Marty (Sherah's fiance) have taken up a good friendship, they also work out most mornings. Very soon, Sherah and Marty are getting married (the end of March), and Daniel will be standing up in that wedding. So here are some pictures of Sherah's shower and some of the people we were able to visit with.

Abbey, Wendy, Tessa and Brittany

Julie B., Sandy C., Bev F., and Nora Sp.

Luke Z. and Daniel

3rd row: Marty and Daniel being silly; Grandma B., Kate Sp., Ali and Iggy; Julene F. and Linda L. and sorry I did put your pictures on our blog, but they are little pictures and very good, so maybe it is OK.; Tessa, Jenn L., Sara L. and Christina
Repeat of first row.

The Wedding Party

Eleanor drew this special picture for Abbey, it was so special and so cute we wanted to share it.
