Happy St. Patrick's Day!

March 17th, and this is what we woke up to...

Lillie has yet another snow day and Keola is home from work since the Federal Government closed it's offices. And other than the shoveling, we love our snow days!!  Especially since we had stake conference this weekend. 

After conference, we took a two hour drive to visit poor Elder Kauwe in Delaware. He seemed to be in great spirits and also seemed to be recovering quite well!  We finally made it to his room...

And there he was. 

I know it may not look great with all the IV's, but talking to him, he seemed to be doing well. 

Lillie got to meet cousin Paul for the first time yesterday. 

Before we left, Paul went on his lap around the hospital floor - his doctor and nurses encouraged him to take 4 laps a day, and this was his third.  

Aside from the circumstances, we had a nice visit with Elder Kauwe. Now that he is out of the ICU, he is allowed to have a companion with him 24/7. We were glad that he could have some company and someone to watch over him. We hope to visit him again once he is out of the hospital. 

On the car ride home, we asked Lillie about her first meeting with her cousin Paul. She replied, "He was nice. It was a good visit!"
