HI

Wow, It has been a while. A lot of things have happened. We took a trip to the cabin in North Carolina with Steve, Becky, Arron, Buffy, Stephen and their children. It was so relaxing to just sit around the cabin, play rook, a little bit of hiking and great food. We also went to the dayton Air Show. This was the first year that we took Steven. He enjoyed it, but he really loved the helicopters. We could not get him away from them. We celebrated Maria's third birthday as well. I can't believe that my baby is Three. She is growing so fast and her mind is a sponge. She is learning so fast. Steven and Maria are starting pre-school in September after we returned from Florida. I have pictures of all of this, but they are not on the computer yet. I will put pictures up when we get them on the computer. Will talk to you later.

In the last two I have been reminded on the fragility of life and the strength of life. I have seen both in the last two weeks. I have watched as people who are not supposed to be here, fight for life and have lived for far longer than the Doctors have ever imagined. I have also watched as a family has lost a loved one so suddenly that we don't understand why they were taken, but God understands and knows. I take for granted so much and I am reminded that God is still in control even when we don't understand. I have taken time realize that all of the earthly things that I have are no comparison to Gods love. I am struggling with working on a relationship with God. I want to get to heaven now more than ever.

camp

Ok, I have no idea why this is underlined. I really do not understand computers at all. But camp was a nice week. The services were wonderful and I got a lot of help from them. This was the first time that I have ever spent the whole week at camp and it was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The kids loved running around and getting dirty. Maria loved getting to spend some time with Jilly. Steven just loved to run. I enjoyed just being there. At one point I thought that it is like our own little world up there, away from the hustle and bustle of life. I am looking forward to next year already. Next year maybe getting up every morning at 6:00 to walk. That was great Wilma. I felt good all day that day. Well, better go. have to get ready for work.
