Sodak Rusch Reunion

We went to Faulkton, South Dakota for a family reunion on the Rusch side of the family. We stayed with my aunts at a nice little house and enjoyed time with extended family. It's been two years since Grandma Irene passed away and seeing her brothers and sisters was so heartwarming. My great aunt looks just like her and it brought me to tears seeing so much if my grandma in her. 

The girls enjoyed time with my cousin's kiddos and they ran around for hours. We had time to go to the Faulkton carousel. After the reunion ended we drove to Aberdeen for the day and spent our time at Storybook Land. So many childhood memories at this place and so glad my girls get to make those same sort of memories with their Mimi and Papa. 

adenoids + tonsils = removed

Keller had surgery this week to remove her adenoids and tonsils. She did great and was such a trooper. The doctor said they were huge and it was good we had the surgery. The procedure only took about 30 minutes and we left the hospital  by 1030am. Day 1 was spent resting and she was very quiet. It's hard to watch our normally very spunky gal so reserved and mellow. 

Hopefully the rest of the week goes quickly and she recovers well. 

Waiting for surgery. Happy as always.
