VISITING FRIENDS in WACO

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

We’ve been able to see two families that were with us a part of the Family Practice Residency with us in Harlingen and now living in Waco. Sunday (Aug 2) we had dinner with the Mindy and Burrit Hess and their 4 children. Burrit and Jeff overlapped one year in the residency and they lived in our neighborhood. Mindy and I would often hang out together and let our kids play (her oldest is just 2 weeks younger than Ryan). They kept Ryan when I went to the hospital to have Ginny. Sunday we enjoyed our time with them. The kids loved the trampoline and Ginny had fun playing with girls (there is shortness in her life).

Tuesday (August 4) we spent time with the Martins. Nelson and Jeff graduated from medical school and residency together. Nelson married Laura just before residency and had their first born was born just a month after Joshua. Jeff and Nelson went to Mexico often together for mission work and they spent many nights playing games at our house during residency. They now have 5 children (like us – 5 kids in 6 years!) who were a joy to get to know. Their backyard is crazy-fun and the kids had a blast while the parents caught on the past 4 years.

Looks like you all have been super busy visiting everyone. You got some great pictures of our fun day! I tried to call you the other day, but it said you had not set up voice mail. So I could not leave you a message. I will try again later.
