How things can just change so quickly
So, today Mark is flying to Utah for a long weekend to be with his family. His dad suffered a stroke on Monday and has been hospitalized since. He had surgery in the middle of the night last night. We are so uncertain as to what lies ahead. Mark just needs to be there right now though.
Things were just progressing well for us until Monday. We were having a quiet week and excited for Tim and Peggy's visit, they were to come to New York on Sept. 1. We had rearranged some rooms. I could feel the baby move. We celebrated Caroline's birthday. And we realized now how precious time is and how things can just change so quickly.
Here are 2 photos from the summer. Just favorite memories. Tim and Peggy and I took the kids to Alta for a little hike to see the wildflowers. The hike was wonderful, very memorable and very strenuous at the end--6 straight switchbacks. Here is Grandpa at the top! He did it.
Grandpa and Matthew had a jam session as Grandpa was practicing to perform his folk songs at the High Priest Group social. They were so cute playing their guitars together.
Tim, we wish you the best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We wish we could all be there right now. We love you.

Thoughts are with your family as you wait to hear about his health psot surgery.
And what was that- a baby move?! Are you expecting!?!??! I didn't know?! How did I miss that? Congratulations!
I forgot to find out how he is doing. That is terrible! We'll pray for him, Peggy, and you guys.
Hugs and prayers to all of the Newmans. Loved the pictures of Tim -- he's so great!
