Leaving CA...back to MI we go


The Kids

My beautiful and loving Grams and Gramps (My mom's parents)

Mom and Dad - Happy 39th Anniversary!!

Julia and Matt Hannah - their first dance

Joellen and Jim Yundt

We had the great pleasure of being at Julia Yundt and Matt Hannah's wedding yesterday in Palos Verdes. What a marvelous celebration of a marriage between 2 wonderful people and their families. The whole evening was spectacular. Thank you Jim and Joellyn for inviting us. It is fun that Matt and Jules share an anniversary with my parents.

It was sure fun to be with the family at the desert and then onto the wedding. I feel like one of the luckiest people to be in the family I am in. It was really hard to leave everyone today, but we know it is the right thing to do right now. We miss you family and can't wait until we are all back together again...Michelle and Brian's baby boy will be born by then!!

I also got to see the Mending Kids group yesterday for a wonderful and productive board retreat. Mending Kids is growing so quickly and we are all excited about this new journey we are on and how many more kids we can offer life saving surgical care to.

Even though leaving CA is tough be are so blessed to return to the extended family here and the nice friends we have meet. It definitely makes the journey a great one. Josie is ready to embark on 7 more really tough weeks. Przemek gets her back tomorrow for the remainder of the time. He is excited about what his treatment can do for her. As I was reading her "The Little Engine that Could" tonight (given to her by the Flintridge Guild of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and signed by everyone which made me cry) she said that she was like the little blue engine and thinks she can. When she is finished with Przemek she wants to say "I thought I could". Go brave, strong girl. Thanks for all your support. Love, Jenny and Josie
