Back to School

I think that Curt and I are the only guys on this thing. That's OK. Although we are not pregnant, we will be sending pictures of our bellies soon! It was great to see Kris, Crystal and Carina. Just going to keep this short. I'll be better at posting now that we are back in school.

Here are a few pictures of the trip Jeff and I took to Guatemala and Belize a few weeks ago. I'll work on getting pictures of the bbq up, I think Jill was at the camera...

Thank You Patty, Thank You Jill

We wanted to Thank Patty and Jill for helping us with Carina the friday night we arrived in Payson. 10 minuted before we arrived at Jessie and Patty's, Carina starting throwing up in the car. She had been having high fevers and was just not feeling well. Jessie called Patty at work and explained how sick Carina was and Patty made arrangements for us to meet a pediatrician at the hospital where she was working. I was so grateful for this doctor willing to meet us at 11pm at night on his way home from a shift. We met Patty in the labor and delivery unit where she works and the doctor examined Carina and gave us medication she needed. Then, we ventured downstairs to the Hospital pharmacy where Jill happen to working this evening a well.

Kris joked with Patty and Jill that this was just our way of making sure we get to visit with them while we were in Payson! Apparently, Jill had just picked up this extra shift! Carina, Kris and I are so grateful to have their expertize and generosity that evening. It difficult to have a sick child on a trip where you don't have your usual doctors, etc. It was nice to have so much support, generosity and willingness to serve. I am grateful to the pediatrician and Patty and Jill for taking such good care of us! If anyone is ever in Payson, you will always be in good hands should any problem arise!

Thank you again Patty and Jill, from Kris, Crystal and little Carina!

We had a great visit with everyone in payson! thanks deanne for arranging the picnic!
I did not have a camera so maybe someone who did can post some of the cute photos they took of the kids! Thanks!
