Where does the time go? How do the years disappear in a blink of an eye? It doesn't seem that long ago Mark and I got a big surprise believing we were delivering our 4th boy when out comes a red headed daughter. My best friend Amy Koch was not about to let me bring her home from the hospital in a generic yellow outfit, nope she brought the most beautiful little pink dresses we had ever seen to dress up our first daughter. For the first 2 years of her life Rhoda wore dresses everyday. After 3 boys what a joy to have a daughter to dress up. Of course with red hair she had a sun bonnet to go with every outfit to help keep the freckles at bay. By the time she reached those terrible twos her strong will determined the dresses would slow her down, and off they came. She needed to be strong willed with 3 brothers all determined to tease. When Rhoda was 4 years old we found out we were expecting another girl and again we were thrilled. Having 7 sisters myself made me thrilled our 2 girls would have each other. Flash forward 24 years later and today we invited the family for a lasagna dinner, making Lee and Rhoda's engagement official.
Below are a few pictures of the evening
After the dinner there was volley ball and horse back rides. The dinner was well attended.
There was plenty of lasagna, salad, Avanti's bread, fruit, vegetables and dessert. Rhoda and Lee told their story for us. After dinner we took the golf cart back to our house to celebrate Taegan's 2nd birthday with cake and ice cream.
Rachel Sauder bought big slabs of bacon and the volley ball players all stayed around to cook that delicious salty snack over the fire.
