Just an Update

Hi All,

I've been reading your posts but have been super busy so I haven't commented on them. It sounds like things are well for most everyone. We are good here and Clyde and Coco are doing well at being house broken (although I think it's me whose housebroken, I have to remember to take them out or they gently remind me with a smelly gift).

The kids are super well, Lauren just got here report card back and this is her third quarter to recieve all A's (three A's and four A+'s). Yes, they have A+'s but I don't know how that works in the GPA as they don't start computing that until 9th grade. Harrison recieved all M's and E's - yes I know your asking what's that, it's Meets and Excedes Expectations. It's suppose to be a more "sensitive" way to grade the kids (whatever, in life if you fail no ones going to give you an "N" for needs improvement).

BTW, Our travel is changing this summer, we were planning on coming out there towards the end of the summer but it looks like that may not happen. We are putting in a patio and it's blowing our budget so vacation dollars get hacked into. We are bummed not to be there but we may send Lauren...we are however very happy that we will be able to BBQ somewhere else besides the garage as everytime we do we set off the fire alarm. :)

We are hoping to see Dave and Julie in June and would welcome anyother visitors that would like to come - free room and board if you can make it here!

Hope all is well with you and I love hearing from you all!
