Here is a link to the photographers pics of the wedding Leah was in.  Beware....there are 278 pictures!  When you go there, the slideshow w/music automatically loads and plays.  I recommend clicking on the grid below it to look at the gallery pages.  Then click on the first picture and scroll through them individually.  Or by page. 

Lisa's wedding pics

To help family....here are the numbers of pictures that feature Leah or Anna.  Pic #2 features Anna in the corner of the mirror.     #28-33 are Leah practicing beforehand and the pictures beforehand that she was in.  She was in a great mood at this point!  So was I, seeing as how her hair was done, heer bow was tied and she was willing to keep her flower wreath (which I made) on her head.  #75 was right before the processional....2.5 hrs later.  She was exhausted, about to lose it completely and proclaiming that she didn't want to do it.  In a desperate scheme, I gave her the binky and then tried to hold it hostage until she did her duty!   Didn't work.  What did work was her daddy scooting to the front.  She hadn't seen him all morning, and was happy to march down properly if he was at the end.  The other little ring-bearer had long abandoned his post...the boy walking down just before Leah is his big brother.  Thing was....Leah was scared of him.  So we sent him down alone.  #89-90 capture the big moment.  You can see me scooting out of the picture in the back in #89!  You can also see me standing in the back during a bunch of the ceremony pictures.  My back hurt too badly to sit down anywhere!  Finally, #248-249 are of Anna.  She helped me serve at the cake table.  Her best partner-in-crime Nellie Hopkins was with her pretty much non-stop.  #272-276 are a hilarious set where Anna, Nellie and two other girls were touching and licking the ice sculpture.  The second one cracks me up b/c Nellie is sticking her tongue out to lick and Anna is in the background with her tongue out in full empathy! 

Enjoy these....I'm not sure how long they will be up.  This gal does such a nice job.  She's the one who took those great pics of our family 2 yrs ago.  The outdoor pics at camp afterwards are particularly beautiful!  I don't know how Lisa will pick!

OK,  about the endoscopy.  David did just fine.  He didn't get sick afterwards from the anesthesia, which was nice.  We came home with some great pictures of his insides.  They did find that his upper stomach was swollen and irritated.  This is what is causing the epigastric discomfort he has been in.  They took some tissue samples for a variety of tests that we won't have back for a week.  But, in all probability, he suffers from acid reflux issues like Leah does.....and the severe anxiety and stress he puts on himself only exacerbates the problem.  That is where I think we will end up.  Also the fact that he is over-sensitive to any sensory disturbance and overreacts not only to pain, but also to fear.....you can see how it's all a 'perfect storm'.  So, continue to pray that we would have wisdom and direction as far as how to proceed.  Thank you.

tarah, those pix were amazing! I viewed all of them - almost feels like I was there. :) The colors up in your neck of the woods are just gorgeous - we've had such a dry fall, ours have been more muted. Tell Lisa congrats for me - she looks absolutely beautiful.

Rachel loved seeing the ADORABLE pictures of Anna & Leah. That's good news about the upper GI; it sounds like it's something that can be "fixed" (?)
