On April 25th a wonderfully sad thing happened .... my little sister said "I do". I was very proud to stand by her side and witness this exciting event in her life. I pray that Greg and I will be able watch Kara and Tsjibbe grow old together - that we will hold them to the vows they made that day!
Now for the day itself ... as has happened on all "VanGrootheest" weddings, it rained :) Thankfully she had not planned an outdoor wedding like two of her older sisters! The only thing the rain really affected was pictures - which were moved from outside to the Old Quebec Street Mall. This is where Kara first saw Tsjibbe ... always a fun moment to watch :)
The wedding was a late one - the ceremony began at 7. Kiera joined us for pictures, but that was it. Seth and Maddy got to participate in the whole event - fun! We didn't get home until 2AM ... they were exhausted. They did very well, though.
And so, my parents are empty nesters. I will be honest - there are some days that I am jealous of them. Very jealous. However, most days I look at my three kiddos and wonder how on earth they got so old. And I can imagine that the next years will go just as fast as the last ones have. And so I will treasure these sometimes long, sometimes repititous days :)
