These two really missed each other during our Girls weekend away. I love that they love each other so much. It was a perfect rainy night to play outside!
She missed her Bub, too.
Music night with Bub.

The Showering of Doughnuts
Rachy is getting MARRIED!!! Officially kicking off the wedding events was a shower in Tacoma at the Rowlands' lovely home. Lola, Nana & I headed over on Friday morning to spend the night and get things ready. One of the highlights was getting to meet so many members of James' family from Florida and the Midwest. After the shower was over and the house was clean, Lola said to me, "I wish we didn't have to leave. I just love it here." Many more fun girls weekends to come with this girl!

Catching up with Robin, one of her new faves.
The flower girl was totally on top of her duty of helping with the presents.
The coolest part of the shower.
When each grandchild in James' family was born, she made them a quilt which was to be given to them when they were getting married. Although she was not alive to see this day, she had a card addressed to James and his future wife packed away with the quilt. What a beautiful gift.
Love these girls! Rachael's first friend in Spokane, Ashley & mom's BFF, Dawn.
Couldn't have a shower without them!
These two have NO fun together. Ever.
