Marty came into town Friday night. The three of us went to see "The Town."

Saturday, September 18, 2010

While I was at the hospital visiting my Dad all day, Marty went with Wayne to work. They then went to Ridgedale because JJ Hardy (MN Twins) was there signing autographs. Of course Wayne had to go.

 

I went home after the hospital and the boys went to Babe's in Lakeville for Wayne's first night there. It's his new Saturday night gig for KDWB.

Sunday, September 19, 2010

I stayed at home while the boys went to the Twins game. Marty had tickets from his work. It was Media day. Later in the afternoon they met me at the hospital in Monticello. Our friend Jeannine had her little baby boy, Noah, on that Friday, so we had to go visit.

Us with Noah, only 2 days old. I can't wait until it's our turn!!

Dad's Back Surgery {2010}

Dad's Back Surgery {2010}

My Dad had back surgery (posterior lumbar fusion) on the L5 and L4 vertebrae. It is a major surgery and thankfully has been doing well recuperating thus far. He is out of work for about 2-3 months and cannot do much of anything for about 6 months.  

Saturday, September 18, 2010

I was there for most of the day with my Mom and my sisters. I like how his preferred name is "Les."

Sitting and watching TV while Kate laid in the bed playing DS. We read magazines and talked a lot. He was progressing faster than most back surgery patients. The next day he was getting in/out of bed and walking to the chair/bathroom.

Me, Kate and Amie (behind the curtain)

It is now the end of his 3rd week of recovery. He is doing very well. He goes on frequent walks around the neighborhood and soon he will be able to drive, but he cannot do many things he enjoys doing. If you know him, you know he has a very hard time sitting still. He is always doing something. He loves to putz around the yard and/or garage, 4-wheel, hunt, snow blow, shovel, anything that takes him outside. Well, he isn't supposed to do any of those things, which is so hard for him. He is already getting very antsy and bored.

You can watch a VERY helpful, short and to the point video on Lumbar Spinal Fusion Surgery here.

Thanks.

So in the morning I had the bridal shower for Rachel and then in the afternoon I met up with Wayne and we headed down to St. Peter for a wedding. Adam & Kayla were married at the Arboretum at Gustavus.

It was a beautiful day. Kayla and her Dad came around the ceremony site in a horse & carriage.

Her Dad actually owns it. Super cool. Kayla's dress was gorgeous!

This picture shows the lanterns in the trees.

These are the boys (our friends).

We snapped a funny pic of us during the ceremony.

They did both lighting a candle & a sand ceremony.

It was a beautiful ceremony for a wonderful couple. I graduated high school with Adam, so I have know him for 10+ years. It has been great to re-connect and keep in contact with friends over the years and see what different directions their lives have taken them.

I snapped this picture of her bustle.

We were all excited to find out it was an open bar. Woot! Dinner was fabulous. I had prime rib, Wayne had ham. We also found out after dinner that all the meat was provided by Kayla's Father's farm. The food was delicious. Here is their cake:

This wedding included great friends, food, drinks and conversation. I love my friends!
