Laughter a good medicine...

This past visit to Lincoln was full of laughter...!

It's been 2 1/2 weeks since we've seen Rachel

so we were amazed at her progress.

Praise God!

Rachel busted up laughing when she saw the veggie...pureed broccoli!

Rachel's two sister and Allyn hang out in the dinning room w/Ryan and Rachel

Rachel's right hand doesn't move much...

but she can sure punch out words with her left hand.

My 1st Hyllningsfest

The Weddle families congregate in Lindsborg, KS to celebrate their Swedish Heritage.

It was a beautiful day to spend with a great family.

Hyllningsfest - Weddle cousin's lined up along the parade route in age order...!

Ok, so it took a little while to get used to the guys Swedish costumes

...you gotta love the pom poms!!!

The parade + CANDY made a great start to the day!

Anna W. and Emily

I have fantastic sister-in-laws.

Watching all the Swedish dances in the middle of main street Lindsborg.

All the siblings in front of G-Grm's house

(minus Liz who was visiting her sister in Witchita)

Half the fun of the weekend was seeing the three boys together again...

It's been a year!

1 year later! It's kinda hard to believe it's one year ago from when this picture was taken - we got married.

Yesterday afternoon, at 4:03 we began watching our wedding DVD. That was alot of fun. Wow. There was alot of special people at our wedding! We had a great time remembering back to ....how God answered our prayers in even finding the Sabetha church, how He prepared us for that day, the rehearsal dinner & my dad crying the whole way through the testimony time, the guys quartet ~ "Go'n to the Chapel", Caleb and Jackie's smiles through out the day, our attendants, our family! , our friends, how calm we both felt as I walked down the isle, having both our pastor's, the fantastic Wissmann/Ulmer serving crew, our great photographer, our nervous & fast first kiss (LOL), the car that was decorated so nice. We also had a good laugh counting the people that came to our wedding that we hadn't invited....! To funny. It was great to see them though!

So, after all this reminiscing...we went out to a NEW resturant in town. It was a nice place. The waitress eventually came out and informed us they'd ran out of my meal selection. We had a great time visiting until our meals finally arrived. We were impressed when later the manager came out, apoligized for the long wait and informed us the meal was on him. That was a pleasent surprise to our day!

Ahhh....A dozen roses! Thanks Allyn!

Anyone for a piece of cake?!? It's only 1 year old...??

Remember this...

October 7, 2006!!!

What Dad and I faced right before I walked down the isle....
LOL! My brothers are great!

Ready to head down the isle....come on guys - open the doors!

Amazingly...

We weren't nervous.
We weren't tired of smiling.
We still remember what the Pastor Steve said to us.
We felt truly blessed.

Our prayer is still that "We might exalt His name together" Ps. 34

Oh, and yes there is still 1 bird seed in our house.

I clean around it....just because!

Let rehab begin...!
