Homecoming Weekend

Jordan' last homecoming dance.....2008 with her boyfriend Scott.

It's Been a While

Hello all my Friends and Family,
I know it's been a while since I last posted. Well, we've had a great summer. Spent a lot of time in Luna Pier but unfortunately since Bob allowed me to re-do the kitchen, most of the time I was without it. It was well worth the effort though. The kids are doing great. Todd is settled in at U of M and is studying hard. He has developed a really good relationship with his room mate BC short for Beoung Chung, an exchange student from S. Korea. He has gone to school here in the states from 8th grade. They really have a lot in common. BC has taught Todd how to play squash, they will be joining a club team, and he helps Todd with calculus. Todd in turn edits all his papers. They love talking Eastern philosophy too. Jake is doing well, he is finally into his major courses and since working as a network engineer over the summer, he says they are a breeze. Jordan has already applied to Indiana University and was accepted. She has also applied to OSU but has made her decision to attend IU. She has taken a heavy load this year, but really is enjoying AP US Government and Economics. I really see her as a Sarah Palin type, very republican for a student!
Jordan was just told she got the lead in the fall play. She is also continuing to do speech team hoping to make it to the State finals again. Bob is very busy with work, trying to see the retirement light at the end of the tunnel. I'm becoming busier with stained glass work, just not as busy as I'd like.
I'd love to hear from you, and how your families are doing. You are always in my thoughts,
Love, Carrie

Look Who's Living in our Pond

Graduation, 2 down 1 to go!

Well, it was an absolutely gorgeous weekend for graduation on Sat. and party on Sun. It was a very poignant time for us all realizing Todd will be gone from home in late August. Especially for Jordan, she will truly miss her brother, they've been so close for so long! She assures him that she too will be applying to
U of M though! unfortunately, Jake couldn't be there because if upcoming finals next week. Be sure to mark your calendars for Todd and Shane's graduation party at Doug and Angie's house June 28th. Love to all. Carrie

Moe and Sarah's beautiful Home

Bob Jake and I went to Moe and Sarah's to visit and we were astonished how much progress they made on their house. Moe has done a tremendous job on the carpentry and Sarah has such an eye for design. See for yourself. Nolan, now 1 years old was asleep most of the time, but when Sarah got him up, he was his usual smiling self. Scarlett is getting more and more beautiful and smart! I couldn't get enough of her hugs and kisses.

Prom 2008

A beautiful Saturday sandwiched between a very rainy Friday and Sunday was a blessing to say the least! Both Todd and Jordan had a fantastic time at prom this year. We hosted their pictures beforehand. They were all so glamorous!

Fun Weekend

Hello everyone, it was a great weekend! Jordan had a fantastic performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie! She played Mrs. Meers, a washed up actress pretending to be a Chinese hotel owner for poor abandoned aspiring actresses, and kidnaps them to China for white slavery. She was really hilarious! Lori and Taylor came on Thursday, Mom and dad on Friday, and Doug, Angie, Aubrey and Shane came Sunday. Thanks everyone for your support! We really were happy to have you visit us, and see the play. Jake came for the weekend too, a pleasant surprise for me!
Prom is this weekend, both Todd and Jordan are going with dates. Todd has 2 weeks left of school, he graduates May 31st. Going by way too fast! Hope everyone is well, looking forward to the summer, and enjoying this beautiful spring weather we are blessed with.
Love, Carrie
