Day 1 of Nash Family visit

Megan and Joe got a good night sleep last night, as did Luke, I think. He got accustomed to sleeping in the arms of his parents during their flight, so when he got here he didn't like the crib. Megan finally got him to sleep, but he woke up at 11pm, definitely not time to get up. He is sleeping in my room, so I got him and brought him into bed with me. In a short period of time, he went back to bed and I put him back in the crib. 2am, he wakes up crying. I attempted the same thing, but when he went back into his crib this time he just cried. So I brought him back to bed and he became a little thrasher in bed, moving his arms all around, so I didn't get much sleep. I tried a 2nd time to put him back in the crib, but to no avail. Finally, he wasn't moving so much and I was able to get some sleep from like 330 to 600 or so. We all were up at 630 after our good night sleep.

Once we had some breakfast we went outside and played with Buster. Luke petted Buster, who reminds him of Klondike, his cat. We played and ran in the yard also, before we came back inside to play with more toys and take our first nap. I used the time to put away everything Megan brought me. It was like Christmas all over again.

After naptime, we went out on a walk of the station and a hospital tour. We went through the hospital, seeing the different wards, the ER, and outpatient area. Megan and Joe got to meet a lot of the folks I work with everyday. We toured the South side of the station, and went to the hydroelectric plant to see the waterfall. We met a bunch of the missionaries on the walk. After a lunch of grilled cheese and tomato soup, we headed to Suicide Rocks.

We went with Sam, the Kumors, and Josiah Radcliffe. We had a good time. Megan and Joe both jumped in without much difficulty. Despite having his swim trunks on, we didn't allow Luke to get near the swift current of the water. We had a good walk, seeing more of the village and where people live each day. Now it is time for 2nd nap.

I was concerned that Luke may take a while to get accustomed to me, and prayed that it would be a quick transition for him. Thankfully, it hasn't been an issue, what a blessing and answer to prayer. Right from the start at the airport, he came to me and was fine. Last night, I thought when he was crying that he might not like me getting him and putting him back to bed, but he didn't mind that either.
