This is Catherine reading with her Aunt Eva. Everyone else was watching Napoleon Dynamite.
Elisabeth is two now. She held out her hand to me and asked for “five”. When I stuck out my hand, she pulled her palm away and said “Too swow”. (slow). She is learning fast.
Bryan made friends with Samuel. They really took to each other.
I love this picture of Samuel. He looks so much like a little boy and so little like a baby, I think.
This is Bryan. He’s twenty now and doing the West Coast thing for the summer. He and his band are going to do camp concerts and Bible Studies.
Zach, Cindy and Samuel on the porch swing. Zach is sixteen now. He is also very tall.
This is Ethan. He’s thirteen and also tall. He and Zach played Jenga with me. They were very patient.
This is Elisabeth after a long hard day of play.
We toured Erin’s Gymani facility and the girls had a ball on the bars. Neither Catherine nor Abigail had any fear at all.
This is Emily. I asked her to pose like a model and she obliged. She didn’t have any fear of heights either.
No, I don’t know why my brother’s shirt is glowing.
 Abigail is in the children’s gym here. She really loves to tumble around.
