Starstruck.

We love Grey's Anatomy. To say that we live for Thursdays nights would be taking it too far, but only slightly.

Therefore, we were a little starstruck this weekend when we got to hang out with a real, live, pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Scott and his family live in the capital, and he runs a hospital for CURE International. CURE specializes in curing children with crippling spinal or orthopedic conditions.

Scott and Marni have 2 boys, who are big fans of TJ's kids album. They were thrilled to discover that we live in the Dominican. We were blown away by the good work that this family is doing - here, and in Haiti.

They're a cool family who genuinely enjoys being together - we love to see that. They live downtown in an old 16th century colonial house, their kids go to the neighborhood Dominican school, they've adopted 2 Dominican street dogs, and they're all life-long vegetarians. Very laid-back, unpretentious.

It is great to know them, to see how God is leading faithful believers on a journey so similar, and yet so different, from our own.
