::proximity::

This weekend we took a quick last minuteish trip to UT to see Kris's dad. He's been really sick and had to be in the hospital for an operation.
It was great that we could be there. We had some really good family time (minus Kelly & Lechelle whom we definitely missed.)
The fact that we were able to just go when we felt like we should was so nice for us.
We took our sweet van. Sultan got the whole back all to himself, the luggage went on top, and I alternated between front seat and middle seat next to Max so that I could put my feet up.

We were only out there for about a day and a half, but we got to spend at least a sliver of time with everybody which was nice.
Max had enough time to step in dog poop with his shoes, then take his shoes off and step in dog poop with his bare feet. Here's my mom lysoling his feet. Lucky guy, right?

Grandpa Ken was in good spirits and we got to spend a lot of time visiting with him at the hospital, which was nice.

Max and his cousins made some fun art for the hospital room wall which I think Grandpa really appreciated.

And Ken also didn't let the hospital get him down.

I hope you appreciate my censoring there.

Max had such a blast, we had a super tough time getting him in the car to go home. He loves it out there and who could blame him.
It's so nice to be so close. We love you all, family.

And what a miracle and pleasure to have you guys close enough, we can all just get in the car and go and get there by dinner. Rotten reason for you to come this weekend, but so glad you were here. So very glad. LOVE LOVE

Your dad just came downstairs (Kathy and I are sitting on the couch, winding down) and said, "Tell her we loved having her here." So I just did.

I've been thinking of you guys all day the past few days. I'm so sorry about the bad news; I surely hope that you (and Kris and everyone) are doing well. Remember that we are praying for you. Love to all!!!
