Surgery Tomorrow

For all of our followers, just wanted to let you know that Rebekah has surgery tomorrow in Indianapolis at 12:30 for surgery on her forearm. They will be inserting balloon like things to stretch her forearm skin. Over a period of about 6 weeks they will slowly inflate those balloons to stretch her natural skin. They will then be able to cut out the big scar and close it over with the stretched skin giving her arm a better appearance. Here are some pictures of her arm and hand right now...oh how far we have come. She still has little movement of the index finger that was crushed. We really expect that it will never improve. She is fine with all that.

Ice Skating








We enjoyed going to the ice skating rink here in West Lafayette a few weeks ago. Too bad there were hundreds of people also ice skating. It was a perfect night for it. I am not sure why I don't have a pic of Benjamin ice skating.

Good byes

Today Steve and Molly and their family left to return to Peru. We will miss them. We did enjoy checking out the new Indy airport. It is really nice. We will see Steve and Molly again when we return to Peru at the end of July. We have enjoyed seeing them frequently these past 6 months. In Peru we usually only see them once a month since they live about 2 hours away.

Caleb says good bye to one of his favorite people, Uncle David. They will miss each other. Notice the matching hair color?

The girls.

Funny Comment

Today while watching some football, one of our daughters commented, "someone lost their yellow hanky on the field." Ha!! Guess she needs to watch more football.
