Rachel has been enjoying herself in Johnson with her future in-laws. Anna (Ryan's sister) write:

Note from Anna Baltensperger,

"This is the first weekend to have Rachel at our home since the first of September!!! We are delighted to see her continued progress and for her to be here this weekend! With Allyn & Emily also home, we feel very blessed to spend time together with family.

Yesterday, while the boys occupied themselves with outdoor projects, we girls were busy in the kitchen making "fastnachtchuchli". This is a holiday tradition for the Baltenspergers originating from our Swiss heritage. We spent hours rolling walnut-sized dough balls into paper-thin pastry and then frying the delicacies. (The rolling pin was part of Rachel's Friday therapy!) Though the fastnachtchuchli's take lot longer to make than to consume, the taste is worth it!"
