Busy Days

We have had a few busy days with the visit of my best friend, Julie, from the US. We were thrilled to have her here - even if it was for just 3 days. She was a great help with Nathan and we had a wonderful time together.

We were able to get out of the house for a little bit - including a visit to her favorite restaurant here in Quito - Crepes & Waffles. And we also were able to go to an outdoor souvenir market where we were able to do some shopping. We thank Santi for staying at home with Nathan and taking care of him so that we could go out for a bit.

Santi starts back at his work in the computer department at HCJB tomorrow. We have both enjoyed our time together with Nathan at home that I think we're a little sad that he will be gone tomorrow!

On Tuesday, we have our appointment with the pediatrician at 11 am. We're anxious to hear about the results of the x-ray of Nathan's chest and also to see if we can take Nathan off of the oxygen. He's getting so that he grabs the tubing quite often and gets it out of his nose so we have to keep an eye on it.

Thanks for praying for Santi's test a couple of weeks ago - we finally found out the results a couple of days ago - he tested out of two levels and will be entering the 3rd level of classes when he begins in February. So he's excited about that! We appreciate your prayers and interest.

We trust that those of you living up north are staying warm! It seems like there is lots of cold weather going on up there! Especially for those poor Green Bay Packers who lost tonight! We admit that we were a bit disappointed for them.
