Janel & Ryan
We’re working our way through the pictures from our trip to California for Janel and Ryan’s wedding. We’ll post pictures as we get them ready to show. This first set is from the rehearsal dinner, which was fantastic! We were blessed with good company and great food. Janel and Ryan have a great group of friends. We also enjoyed spending some time (although not enough) with Ryan’s parents.

After only three weeks, Daniel’s cast came off and his arm was declared healed. He’ll still need to be careful for a few more weeks to ensure he does not re-injure it, but we’re grateful that he no longer needs the cast. Here are some pictures from the doctor’s office.

Sylvia Lake
Mike and Mary hosted the Averill Family Reunion at Sylvia Lake this weekend. The setting was beautiful and we all had a great time, although the weather could have been a bit better (I don’t know how many times I heard, “this’ll burn off in a few minutes and the sun will come out”). Family members enjoyed canoeing on the lake, swimming and fishing. And, as with most family reunions, there was no shortage of great food.
We didn’t take as many pictures as we typically do, but we got a few good ones. Click on the one shown to see more.
Below is a short video of David’s fish.
We’ll be posting more about Janel and Ryan’s wedding after we’ve had some time to sort through the pictures and video, but we thought we should say a couple things here.
To start… it was FABULOUS!!! Janel and Ryan did a terrific job of planning it out. Their friends and supporters were amazing in all their help. Virtually everyone involved, including photographer, pastor, hairstylist, cake maker, etc., etc., was a friend of the bride and groom. Janel was a beautiful bride and the entire wedding party looked great. The reception was one of the best parties around and the food was delicious.
Our trip was great and the boys were fantastic. They enjoyed the reunion with Tyler and Tanner, as well as meeting Jake & Brady, Sary-Jo’s mom, and many others. We had been concerned about how they would react to the chaos that is inevitable, but they handled it with tremendous grace. They were poised for photos and well-behaved the entire time.
As stated above, we’ll post more later.
