TGFS!

Thank God For SKYPE! Skype is Janelle's new best friend. She is spending lots of time on Skpe with her little cousins who are home during the day and her friends & family at home so she feels very connected. We get to see and talk to Jimmy so we don't miss him so much and we even got to see cousin Megan with Tyler off to the prom. We're still homesick but it definitely helps. :) We shopped at a fabulous mall (like Victoria Gardens at home) today. Hmm, I think this place may be OK!! We are also looking forward to the weekend when Joe's sister Joanie and her family are coming to visit us from their home in St. Petersburg, FL. Janelle is excited to hang out with her cousins - I think she is a little tired of adults. Our evening walks around the hospital grounds, which are set in the middle of lush, woodlands, are introducing us to all of the animals in the area. We've seen raccoons, opossum, frogs, ducks and geese but Janelle's still watching for a gator to emerge from the 10 lakes that we pass.

Have Janelle crawl around the lake dressed like a dog and she'll find that gator.

Hi Guys, We just heard recently about your move back East. Let us know what we can do for you here until you come back since we are just down the street from your house. We are happy to do anything you need.
Just ran into Claire at In n Out and she told us Joe got accepted into the program. Great News! Our family is praying for a quick transplant and return home. Take care Coach Joe! Greg and Trish Noble
