The days are quickly flying by with lots of wedding activities in the works.
Additional wedding dress fittings, florist visits, bridesmaid dress sewing, song practicing, and getting a head start packing up belongings have filled our days this week.
The rains have come to our area, so today is a "let's-stay-inside-the-cozy-warmth-of-the-house" type of day. The weekend is shaping up to be more of the same from hurricane Joaquin!
Hannah is busy today sewing a practice version of a dress pattern before she makes her celery-green bridesmaid's dress for real: Here's Sarah at the florist this week discussing types of flowers to use for the wedding and reception:
Sarah has been filling boxes of her belongings that will eventually get shipped to Georgia. Busy times!
Lastly, for those of you who like to keep up with Granny, please pray for her on Wednesday, October 7th, as she prepares for another ERCP surgery at the University of Virginia hospital. Please pray for her strength and endurance and for the doctor's skill in performing the surgery. Thank you so much!

The celery green will be stunning on Hannah!
Granny please know that you are in my thoughts.

A practice dress?! Seriously? Of course, I know zero about sewing, but what an undertaking. And, oh, my, look @ all those boxes. Does Eric realize that he'll have only a small drawer for his things?! ;) Anyway, praying for your mom, and we are continuing to pray for the whole fam for these busy, but oh, so happy times.

Eric has about as many boxes as Sarah. I think they may need to build an addition on to the house. :)
I've been watching the practice dress progress here too. The real sewing is finally underway, and I look forward to the finished projects.
Please give Granny a big hug for us and tell her many prayers are being sent up for her.

Is there a sofa under those boxes?!
We often have wished we made a practice garment first! Both my girls love to sew.
I will pray for Granny. My husband had his gall bladder out in 2011 and did not feel well after it was removed. I am familiar with all the tests your mom has endured. He did not have the ERCP, but it was next on the list. He finally felt better, but it took a long time. Hopefully the hospital is close to home and the weather will not be challenging.
