Thank You, YouCaring

If you need some portraits in So. Cal. I'll pass on his contact info!

The last two months have been quite an adventure for our family.  We are completely amazed and grateful for your love, prayers, and generosity.  We can not thank you enough for the kindness and support you have shown our family. 

The financial assistance was tremendous as we paid all of the hospital bills in Argentina out of pocket.  Your donations covered nearly half of our expenses.  That is HUGE.  I have greater joy than to stay alive and spread and share your love back with the world. 

Kids are hard at work at Charles Schwab, trying to make money to
pay mom's bills.  They are in the branch manager's office -
aka their godmother's office - Karen Jordan!  Love you!!

Our US heath insurance company, Kaiser, initially denied our requests for reimbursement. We understand that insurance companies are a business, and it is their job to try to get out of all financial responsibility.  We are following up, and we are hopeful that they will come through, and at a minimum, pay for my US coverage and brain surgery in June!  That one is in God’s hands. 

Yeah!  Reading time!

With this gift of life, our family is going on with our usual antics.  Our time together is a little sweeter.  Much to the kids’ dismay, I truly enjoy doing homework with them!  Even though they are on summer vacation, I relish reading, writing, exploring, mastering mathematics, and studying science with them!  My favorite times are curled up with Caleb reading on the couch, watching SoJo master a book she didn’t believe she could, and analyzing literature with Carmela – she just finished The Diary of Anne Frank and The Outsiders – both great conversation starters!!  Next she is reading Ender's Game.  Too much fun!  We laugh, bicker, eat, and pray together.  Life is good!

Thank you; Thank you; Thank you; Your love and support is a humbling gift.  We cannot thank you enough.  Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.
