Fred and Evelyn are friends from Rolf's Fuller days and we've enjoyed a friendship across many miles over the years. What a joy it was to watch our kids meet for the first time and YOU KNOW Rudy loved all the extra attention. Rudy's Ghanian name is "Kweku" (which means male baby born on a Wednesday). After a little African lesson, we decided to add to it..."Nanakweku" which means little prince born on a Wednesday. He sure felt like a prince this week with all the extra love from the Dimados. ;)https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/img_9940.jpgIMG_9940https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/img_9937.jpgIMG_9937A big dose of RUDY LOVE!https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/img_9929.jpgIMG_9929Our time with the Peters Family on their way through town was much too short but packed with encouragement nonetheless!

Rudy got to try it twice and when we headed back to his wheelchair, he turned to Sara and said "I like that"!!! The karate station was definitely his favorite! ;)https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6243.jpgIMG_6243Our first stop was the running event and the goal was to walk around the track once. Nurse Sara and I were there to help steady Rudy on the uneven ground but he walked it on his own. He stopped a couple of times to catch his breath but he didn't sit down once. ;)2016-02-05T04:21:16+00:00monthlyhttps://rudysbeat.com/2016/02/01/january-2016-highlights/https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/hockey2.jpghockey2https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_1799.jpgIMG_1799https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6214.jpgIMG_6214Rudy the dog walker!https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6222.jpgIMG_6222https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6055.jpgIMG_6055https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6199.jpgIMG_6199https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6198.jpgIMG_6198https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6187-1.jpgIMG_6187 (1)https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6196.jpgIMG_6196https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_6061.jpgIMG_60612016-02-02T17:09:13+00:00monthlyhttps://rudysbeat.com/2016/01/10/bring-it-on-2016/https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/img_5892.jpgIMG_5892https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/img_5927.jpgIMG_5927Rudy wearing his new koala backpack and showing off a package of Tim Tams that James brought from Australia!https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/img_5919.jpgIMG_5919Rolf in "water extraction" mode on January 1st before the emergency crew arrived!https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/img_5978.jpgIMG_5978Fun on the ice...https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/img_5992.jpgIMG_5992Family fun for all!!!https://rudysbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/img_5991.jpgIMG_5991Joy!
