Tears


Jace, moments after Cam and Kenzi drove away.

Sunday morning, 8 days after they arrived, a tearful  Christopher Robin had to say goodbye to Cameron and Makenzi.



Our week with them was so much fun. They completely spoiled us.  On Thursday, they cooked us all dinner then sent  Ryan and I out the door to a ballroom dance class while they tended our kids!  While we were gone, Cameron pulled out his computer and showed Jace cool movies of cars and trains and trucks CRASHING. A Christopher Robin delight.  We got to see them when we got home!

Aunt Makenzi gave Robin and Rue much needed hair cuts.



Uncle Cam raced cars with the Robin across the kitchen floor on numerous occasions.





They gave Jace these cool little parachutes.

He launched them off the upstairs banister for a good hour or so and Aunt Makenzi was kind enough to untangle them for him a gazillion times!!


They spoiled Gracie with this cute critter punch ball.  The tail was the punching string and she proudly put her finger in the little hole as you can see~

then she punched the lights out of it!!

And then the big interview day came.  Cameron is currently a 4th year medical student at the University of Utah. He is pursuing a career as a surgeon. One of the programs he applied to is ours here at U of I.  His residency will be 5 years long- but mostly 5 long years! Ryan is currently spending 4 months on general surgery and it is hard!! Only the top students specialize in surgery --that would be Cameron!

Cameron just home from the 6 hour interview.

When the interview was over we partied! It was his last of 12 interviews across the country.  Having gone through that stressful, and might I add, expensive process with Ryan 2 years ago, all I can say is CELEBRATION!!  Chinese food was ordered and  movies were rented!


Then on Sunday morning, Christopher Robin had to say goodbye.  He was crushed after they left. But we promised him that he would be seeing them again soon!  And there is a really good chance they will be living close to us next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
