Wow! I loved reading your papers on gratitude and opportunity! Your insights and understanding of what Jesus wants us to be doing with our lives, talents, and money is wonderful! You have all been listening really well in church1 I am impressed both with what you have learned and remembered and at how well you expressed yourselves. (The teacher in me can't help noticing!) Anyway, I'm terribly proud of all 3 of you and can't wait to see you next week! Happy birthday, Mallory. I'll give you a call tomorrow-sorry to be a day late. Love and hugs to all, Aunt Lori

Hi

For Lauren's Birthday we had a family party.

Summer is just around the corner!!!

I love summer! Summer is hot.It's sun and shade.It's water to wade.It's frogs and bugs.It's grass for rugs.It's eating outside.It's a tree-swing ride.It's tomatoes and corn.It's dew in the morn.It's a hot sunny sky.It's summer. That's why.....I love summer.

Mallory and Lauren,

I can't believe it's almost summer! Our dogs can be best friends! I can't wait to see you guys in the summer. Yay!

lauren...what r u going to do for your b-day?!

Colin, Mallory and Lauren -

I just read your blog, and I am so impressed! Each of you has improved your writing skills so much this year! Grammar, varying your sentences, using more descriptive words...I am so impressed!

It seems you had a fabulous time in Bali! A few observations:

Mallory, I can't believe you would wear orange. Is that color really recommended for you?

Colin, I think you've gone off the deep end with all of your ridiculous expressions. Maybe you've been spending too much time with Crazy Jodie.

Lauren, be careful not to always beat Lance. He's sensitive.

I wish I could've tagged along on your adventures in Bali! Enjoy your last few weeks of school in Hong Kong!

Got to run - Deuce is impatient that we are not playing frisbee!

HI

Hello Mallory, Lauren and Colin. Your dad just emailed me the address for your website, and I must say I am very impressed. Your pictures are amazing. The pictures I like the most are ones that you are in. You look like you are having the time of your life and you are all growing so well. I want to spend more time perusing your website in the next few days. I'll write more at that time. I'm really glad you have been able to venture to so many places. I have very fond memories of our travels together. Any new trips coming up? I'll be in touch

I loved the pictures from Laos and Vietnam. Exploring the bridge over the river looked like great fun as did the waterfall. Loved seeing Brian in flight! Brought back a few memories! Fun "praying for our business" quote! It'll be fun to share them with the kids. We're having the loveliest weather yesterday, today, and tomorrow-sunny and low to mid 60's. Can't wait to head to FL this weekend! Love to all, Aunt Lori
