Packing never gets easier :(


So we are off to Buenos Aires, Argentina on Saturday morning. It was a little touch and go this week. But everything seems to be settling down with the new baby and Chalene so we are getting ready.

You would think packing would get faster but it does not seem to. I have a list I print every time and I am very good at packing. I love Eagle Creek systems, won't leave home without them. http://www.eaglecreek.com/ Check out the cubes and folders under accessories. They make packing, unpacking and security a breeze.
Remember the cute lady above? She is the one who makes the paper that she then does ink pictures on. We are going to try to find her again. I am trying to think of some little trinket to take to her. Across the courtyard from her is a place that hand makes fancy guitars. They do not have a single power tool in the place. I will get Berta some pictures. Very cool place.
Posts from down south coming soon. Remember it takes us 24 hours to get there so will be out of the blogging scene for a little while.
Adios!

Wednesday updates

We took this picture today. Chalene said we could share it. She is feeling a little better tonight. Still short of breath but I saw her heart rate up to 42. Margot will probably go home tomorrow. She can stay with Chalene as long as someone is in the room with her. Her parents are here so we should be able to cover that between them, Matt and us. Hopefully Chalene will go home in the next couple of days.
Today they unveiled the next section of the RMC exterior. We think it looks nice. As you can see the sun is finally shining here. Check out the floor decking for the addition below. They will be done with the next inside phase in about two weeks.

March is here...hurray

Margot is a very small girl. She is still staying at the Hospital because she does not want to eat.
Driving home the other night we drove by these trees. Still knee deep in snow. There are tiny patches of grass starting to appear in rare places. Today the sun is shining brightly. It snowed yesterday again. It felt so wonderful to be out in the sun.
We leave Saturday for Argentina. It is in the 80's there. Oh will that be nice.
Below is a picture from last week of the Temple surrounded by fog.
