Are we there yet?

Sometimes this whole medical school journey- especially this extremely intense accelerated program on the island- feels like it is just wearing us out!

Ben has been great at making a little time every day for his family,

but Chase and I agree that we could definitely use a little more Ben time.

Lately, everytime Ben leaves Chase becomes distraught.

Yesterday we met up with Ben on campus for a few minutes, Chase had a blast playing with his dad, then when it was time to go he started screaming and crying.

I kid you not, he screamed the entire ride home.

This morning when Ben left Chase was just beside himself and unconsolable. 

Finally, he found a little solace in reading books with Mom. (Whew!)

I think we are all looking forward to a time when Ben is a little more available!

 Chase and I leave for Utah in exactly two weeks, 1 day.

Ben comes 13 days later.

We are getting so close to being done here,

as long as everything goes well (you probably know from my last

posts how insane passing and grades are here!)

Any prayers you could send our way would be much appreciated!

It's also been so so HOT in Dominica lately.

I remember it feeling like this last summer too- humidity makes heat a lot more intense.

When we get home from mid-day outings I've been giving

 Chase an otter pop to help cool him down.

He thinks it's the coolest thing ever.

Except that he doesn't fully understand how to keep the goodness 

coming out of that plastic tube. We're working on it.

And this picture makes me laugh, mostly because of why I took it.

Chase asked me to.

Seriously, he brought me the camera, 

then stood their and smiled looking at me expectantly.

After I took the picture, and he looked at it, he was satisfied and went away and played.

So this was a random post- but to recap,

we miss Ben, it's hot here, but Chase is adorable,

so it's all okay:)
