April 12-18th

This was another very busy week. With Cover the Uninsured week happening Richard was busy with tons of talks and meetings. Tilly and I spent most of the week outside enjoying the lovely weather and finding new paths to walk along. We all went to the PA kick ball tournament on saturday, it was so much fun. Tilly and I cheered on the Kick In the Box team with Krisanna. KIB team did really well winning 3 games and just missing the championship game! Tilly had so much fun giving fist bumps after each game and playing with her pom pom. Later that night with went to a pot luck with some other 1st years and chatted about how things were going. When we finally got home Tilly fell right to sleep. The next day we went to Cover the Uninsured week screening fair downtown. The VACUUM project set up a booth and got a few people to tell their stories. Tilly and I decided to stay for the whole thing and had fun saying hi to everyone. We went to lunch with some friends and headed home to relax before a new fun filled week began.

April 5-11th

So much has been going on recently its been hard to keep track of everything! Richard was super busy this week with meetings and brain in the box and getting his video clip ready for project access now dinner we went to on the 8th, our 4th wedding anniversary. It was a wonderful dinner, lots of wonderful people and great conversation. Tilly stayed at her friend Moses house and fell asleep before we came to pick her up! Our friend Fletcher's parents were in town so we went to his house for dinner and to play in his awesome tipi in the back yard. The weekend was somewhat quite but it was so nice out that we were very active throughout.

March 29th- April 4th

After getting back from a nice relaxing spring break we jumped right in to a busy week. Tilly and I had Moses over wednesday, and Jordan and Topher over on Tuesday. She loves hanging out with her friends, she learns so much from them. Wednesday we went to Richard's small group PCM class where Tilly volunteered as a patient. We got there early to check in and noticed Richard in the lecture hall. Tilly pointed him out and screamed "there he is.. dada.. dada" We walked up the side and Tilly got to sit with him for the rest of the lecture. I watched from the hall as she gave fist bumps to all of the people sitting near them. Once the lecture was over we met in the small group class room and talked about what toddlers should be doing at that age. The teacher's 2 1/2 yr old was also there so Tilly and she ran around the room while the class went on. We had fun on Thursday seeing all our friends at story time we hadn't seen for a while and we had a nice relaxing day on Friday. Saturday we went to the ORFN easter egg hunt and had a blast with all the kids. Easter Sunday we went to a classmates brunch in the morning and went to Krisanna's mom's house for dinner. Tilly played with Anna and Miles there and we all had a great time!

Richard had just as busy of a week. On Monday he had a teleconference with his Health Care For All committee. Wednesday he and three of his classmates interviewed 9 uninsured people for their Vacuum project. Thursday he had a Student Council meeting, Friday he had precept with the doctor he's shadowing, and Saturday he did ADHD research.
