We have known Sarah's family for some 10 years. Her folks are dear friends and so the family is precious to us. Sarah came here for college and spent 5 years as our campus daughter. During those years, we had our campus daughter overs once a month for dinners, parties, etc. so I figure that Sarah was in our home 9 times a year for 5 years for a total of 45 times. Of course, there was once or twice when we had to cancel an activity and another once of twice that Sarah wasn't able to come over with her campus sisters, so I know she was still in our home no less than 35 times in 5 years.
Our daughter and her family live next door to us. Sarah is GREAT with kids and loved on our three grandkids whenever she would see them. And then in November 2004, our daughter gave birth to Jaden. Sarah LOVES babies and enjoyed watching him grow from a newborn to a 2-1/2 year old by the time she graduated in May 2007. She kept Jaden in the nursery at church and also babysat for Brian and Amy on occasion.
So, when Sarah got engaged in February of this year, she called Amy and asked if Jaden could be her ring bearer. Of course, Amy said "YES" and we all had a wonderful time at Sarah's and Josh's wedding yesterday.
Here are a few pics of Sarah meeting newborn Jaden, of Sarah and Jaden in our car when we were taking her to the airport after her graduation, and then of her and Jaden at the wedding. There's a lot of history!!
