Anika Got Married!

On June 13, Mom, Alan, and I (TR had to work. :( Sad.) made the loooooooooong journey to Altamont for Anika Carlson and Cameron Istilart's Wedding. Okay, so the drive wasn't that long, only 2 hours or so. It was such a pretty day. Sunshiney and B-E-A-UTIFUL! Mom unofficially addopted Cameron just recently, so Anika is now unofficially my real sister now. Yay! Here are some pictures.

It took a lot of work on Anika's Friend Melissa's part to get her hair curled.
Anika has a TON of hair.

She looks scared doesn't she? Hehe.

Mom made her dress of course.

Cindy had to tell the little girls how to be flower girls.

She was absolutely glowing, despite being nervous out of her wits.

I got a little artsy...or at least I tried to.


The woman who did their cake was amazing!

See those butterflies? They're made entirely out of frosting.

The bells, cupids, flowers and doves too.

It was a great wedding, and they looked so happy. It was great to be able to be there and share this special day with them.

For all those Puppy update watchers, I'm VERY pleased to say that Linus is looking up. He's getting stronger and better all the time. We still have to give him water through a syringe, but he's getting better. He took a nice long walk with me around the yard yesterday and went walking around the yard on his own today, which is completely opposite of what he was doing last week at this time, so I'm hopeful that he'll recover completely. Thanks for all your support! We love you!
