We had a great time at Justin's graduation this past May & are very proud of all that he has accomplished these past 4 years. Justin worked very hard & earned the respect & admiration from his professors, colleagues, & most of all his patients.
Our hats go off to you Justin!!!

We are going to Guatemala!

"Hola Kaden" This picture is of our 1 year old grandson- Kaden- who lives in Guatemala City with his sister & parents, Max & Renee who are missionaries for OC International. Their family moved down to Guatemala this past August. Frank & I are so excited about going to see our kids in Guatemala City March 10-19th.
Our youngest son Justin sent us information on killer airline tickets through Expedia and so we couldn't pass up the opportunity. I have only been working at Big Brothers Big sisters of Nevada County for 6 months so I was lucky that my boss gave her blessings for me to go & miss almost 2 weeks of work. Frank & I will have to brush up on our Spanish so we can converse with Max & Renee's friends and also keep up with our 4 year old grand daughter- Karis- who is doing great in picking up the language.

They also anointed with oil the passage way Obama will pass through as he is sworn in Powerful prayer- well worth listening to.
