Hi! Everyone,
I sure miss hearing from you all,I just think you all have very interesting things to share about your families or kids.. I just miss watching you all grow a little older and wiser with each post you share.
Mom and I are working at getting better from being sick.. Last Friday I stopped by Mom's office so she could use my truck to move some things to a storeage unit and get my final evaluation to get off of home health.. While I was there several people stopped by to wish me well and tell me I "look like hell" I thought I was looking better than the middle of the week.. So I went home and took a nap for a little while..I love you all and ask you all to please share with your old dad..

Some hope.

Well, I really don't have much new going on here, but I have to share something that happened on Monday that gives me hope.
We (the kids & I) had Monday off, as it was the end of term and teachers had to do grades.
So, not wanting to miss an opportunity to spend time with Chet, I of course went to work with him. Leaving my two off spring to figure out for themselves,what they were going to do for the day. I had previously tried to encourage them both to make plans, but to no avail.
Anyway, Chet and I head out to Salt Lake, and I get a phone call from Megan asking if she and Ford can go see "Race to Witch Mountain". See, Megan's main perk in working at the theatre is, that she gets to go see movies for free and can get one other person in for free as well. So, that said, I am thinking that this is good, for as long as it can last with them being kind to each other. Things always start out nice and by the time the show is over, they are at each others throats.
So, the show time comes and goes and I don't hear anything from them. So I am wondering if they have finished each other off without alerting someone. So I text them just to see how things are going. I am informed that they are currently at Barnes and Noble looking at books before they go and see another movie together.
Well, now I am just plain shocked! They are going to the movies together again? And, no one is forcing them to spend time together? I didn't have to bribe or beg? Ok, is there some unknown agenda here that I am unaware of?
Later that afternoon I got a text from Megan with a big smiley that said " So, Ive spent the entire day with my brother :) " and that is an exact quote!
It made me smile so big!
Now, flash forward to today, and they are again at the movies together. Just the two of them. It leaves me with the hope, that like me and my siblings in the end, they will end up, not only liking each other, but they will be one of their favorite people!
I love you all and thanks for being some of my favorite people. Love Ya Jana

dear family,
i really miss your blog entries. i beleive this is a small way to have some contact with each others family to offer what every support we can. i know how busy each of you are but please don't lose track how important and fun each of you are to one another, and will be even more so as the years fly bye.. well i don't say much on these things because i 'm not comfortable with it but i sure love each of you lots. dad

End of term

Well, can you believe it? It is the end of third term already. I have just spent the last two weeks (roughly) running back and forth from the high school to the Jr high going to concerts for the end of term. They have been really good concerts, not surprising due to festival season, they always step up proformance for festival.
Anyway, that is the up date for what has been happening here at my house. I love you all and want to see you all soon!

Boards

Its almost time. Boards are Tuesday and Wednesday. 500 questions over 2 days in 4 3.5 hour sessions. Wow! Needless to say I am ready. I may not be as prepared as I would like, but I am ready for it to be over! Anyway, I was just wanting to share. Any prayers and thoughts sent our way are definitely appreciated. Hope you guys know we miss you and care about you. Have a wonderful test free week. Just remember when things get hectic this week: you could be taking boards! Should make things a bit easier to swallow.

Hi All,
Just a springtime response - spring does come. Witness our new little Nectarine tree. It's a mass of beautiful blossom! Every day another blossom appears. Yesterday it was over 70 degrees and an absolutely beautiful day. Dad and I couldn't stay home. We drove up to Enterprise - big mistake, still cold and snow there. It was good to get back home to beautiful Washington. We had the doors flung wide open to enjoy the most of the day. Take heart, therefore, as spring is definately coming. If you get tired of waiting, come visit our brave new little tree, which doesn't stand two feet tall yet!
Love, Mom

nothin'

so, long time no post. it seems that i've got absolutely nothin' to say. so, just dropped in to tell you that even though i've got nothin, you are all a bunch of somethin' pretty fantastic. hope your little corners of the world are basking in whatever tidbits of spring you can find. i think that waiting for spring to come after the greyness of winter is a true exercise of faith and hope. we know eventually it will come - - - it will come . . . - - - BUT WHEN?
love you all :)
