Our daughter and her sweetheart

I must say that our children are growing up. Our younger daughter was allowed to officially date when she became a freshman. There was a young man (really great kid from a great family) who had been waiting and they are now allowed to date. This is one picture from a recent outing. The two of them went hiking up into the lower parts of the mountains. Yes...he is VERY TALL. Our daughter is tall but looks like she is short when she is next to him. We are happy that all of our teaching about standards sunk in with her because she had her own requirements that her prospective-beau had to meet for her to agree to be his girlfriend. All the talking over the years is paying off with our girls...thank goodness they are listening to our advice. I have to say that I wish my parents had been open and honest about relationships and dating and all that. It does make a difference. However, our job only intensifies from this point on.

I have posted many pictures and several blogs in the past couple of weeks. You will not see all of them on this page but will have to go to the older posts page to see them even though they are all very recent.

H*a*P*p*Y******B*i*R*t*H*d*A*y******Little Guy!!

Our "Little Guy" turns 10 years old today. He is the baby of the family and is growing into an amazing older child...who I know will grow into an amazing teenager and adult.

WE LOVE YOU LITTLE GUY!

Calmer Waters (Aaron,Michelle, Eli are in the front raft...Asia, Sereah in the rear raft)

Once we were in calmer waters, the raft guide in my raft switched places with me and I got to guide! I can say that Asia and I are hooked....and are looking for our next extreme adventure!!

White Water Rafting (Asia and Sereah's raft)

Looking at the raft on your computer screen, Asia is the 3rd back on the left side and Sereah is the second back in the center (non-rowing) of the raft. Our Parish Priest is across from Asia.

White Water Rafting. Pics of Asia, Sereah's raft (txt way below in another entry)

Looking at the raft on your screen, Asia is the 3rd on the left side. Sereah is riding in the middle of the raft, second back.
