Engbers Update

Hi,
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. We have had a pretty "routine" week this past week. Jon is once again back into his studying. Although he enjoyed his break, he was also excited to start some of the classes he is taking this semester. One of his classes goes through a in-depth study of all of the organ systems of the body and will take up a majority of his studying time. He also has a neuro class this semester, a topic Jon doesn't have a problem getting interested in. One exciting thing for him this week was receiving his medical instruments that he will eventually be using as he gets into learning how to do physical exams, etc... We have taken eachothers blood pressure, examined eachothers eyes, and tried to see what is in eachothers ears. Beware family, he may decide to practice on you next!!!


I have been working, scrapbooking, and a new adventure - attempting to teach myself to play the guitar!?!? Nick is letting me borrow one of his old guitars to try this endeavor. I have already learned that I will need to develop a little more strength in my fingers to push the strings down hard enough as well as calluses on my finger tips (yes! you WANT calluses on your fingers). Don't expect any amazing performances quite yet, I am still mastering "Mary had a Little Lamb." haha

    The stethoscope looks like a nice fit, Jon!! So does the guitar, Erin, although it's almost the same size as you! Hee hee! Enjoy studying - BOTH of you!! :-)

Nicaragua Trip ~ Part 3

We all had a good laugh when this horse and wagon pulled up to the gas pump.  We were curious where they were going to put the gas but then realized there was a small tank on the trailer.  Waiting at an intersection for a cattle crossing. We drove about 1 hour from Leon to visit Lake Managua and Momotombo, the volcano in the background.  The volcano lets off steam continuously and actually has a geothermal plant within the volcano that captures energy to be used for electricity. Ready to head out on a boat ride to the base of the volcano. Saturday evening we had dinner with the clinic board of directors at a restaurant near our hotel in León. Sunday morning we had breakfast with Marwel and Einer and then toured some of the old architecture in León.  The yellow church below is called The Church of the Recollection, construction was completed in 1788. The oldest operating Catholic school in Nicaragua. We took a walking tour of the  León  Cathedral, completed ...

April Pics

April seemed to fly by so I'm glad I snapped some pictures to remind me of what we did during these 30 days! Clara likes to entertain her baby brother by getting out all his toys and books.  He does a fairly good job sitting nicely and watching/listening to her chat away.  Both Olivia and Clara can get Eli to smile as well as Jon or I.  He really responds to them! It is fun to start seeing many different expressions from this little guy.  He has us laughing with all his funny faces. This is Elijah's 'not impressed' face. Elijah's favorite way to nap is by his mom and with his blanket up by his face. He also likes to rest on his tummy. We were able to spend some time with grandpa and grandma Peters while they were back visiting.  The girls enjoyed some help with their puzzles! These girls never turn down an ice cream treat! (neither does their mother...) Such a happy guy with lots of big smiles. Olivia a...
