Thank you God for safe travels and for technology

Friday Chris left for Africa. It was a sad good bye at the airport, but we were happy that the adventure was just beginning. For Chris it will be one of many miles, new faces, new food, new culture, and an unbelievably fun rotation. For John-Paul and I, we will just have to see. Friday after a busy morning of final packing, good byes at the hospital and airport, doctor's visit via phone, and an ornery smoke detector it was finally nap time followed by a restful evening at home.


Early Saturday morning we had some visitors. Uncle Jim, Aunt JoAnn, and Tony came to Houston to meet John-Paul, visit Dad Neumann, and eat at yummy Little Papasitos for dinner.


The best part of these first two days was a phone call from a number starting with "000". It was a good thing I answered the call from that funny number because it was my husband calling from Africa!!! Ohh it was soo good to hear Chris' voice on the other end of the phone. And then came skype which allowed us to see and talk to each other. Thank you God for safe travels and for technology! We love you Chris!
