A few of our readers had wanted to see some pictures of my wedding dress. Though I don’t have all the photos organized right now (maybe this summer?!) here is one. Enjoy!

• Thank you again for the many kind comments and prayers. We miss our little one, but know she is with our Lord. He has supported our family in so many ways in this time.
• We rejoice at the birth of our niece, Isabella Joy.
• And, for an almost-but-not-completely-unrelated third item, I’ve posted an article explaining how to live-stream a wedding over at my “Tech” blog.

Last Thursday, in God’s always-good providence, He took our little baby Joy home to be with Him. We appreciate your prayer that our family would glorify Him as He gives us grace at this time. We trust in our risen Christ’s mercy and look for the certain hope of His resurrection. We are grateful for those who have helped us with meals, and for the kind words of encouragement from family and friends near and far.

The mystery package has been found.
