Kevin with his sister Betsy (don't you think that they look a lot alike?!)
Brecken, Marlee, and Bella (they had to wait to play until after the ceremony!)
Kevin and Brecken playing croquet while waiting for the family pics
Betsy's dress was gorgeous!Kevin's sister Betsy got married to Ryan Riley and Saturday! Sorry for all the pictures but the wedding was so fun! The cool thing is that, as you can see, the kids had a great time too! What a great couple!
As I was getting ready to post these pictures, I was checking some other sites and came across this article that really struck me in its contrast to our lives. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/beautiful/hamlin.html I don't want to detract from the joy of the wedding but I can't help thinking about the stark differences that these Ethiopian girls face. They are beautiful, maybe excited to be married, looking forward to having a family but have such hardships. The article tell about a PBS special that was on last week but is still great for raising awareness.
God Bless!

cute pics, Laura! Do you have one of Betsy and Ryan? I haven't ever met him. Glad it was a great weekend.
So weird Laura...I just read an article in an SIM magazine about surgeries being done for these fistulas at a Christian hospital in Nigeria. The wide variety of tough issues these women face is heart-wrenching. love ya
Thanks Sara, for reminding me where I read that also! What a sad situation for those young girls. Loved the pictures! mom
