Life

Did you see the lunar eclipse? There was a lunar eclipse the night before we were engaged in '03. We watched it this time from our guest bedroom out the window.

For all concerned about my husband's health: as you can see here, he is strong and doing well...and this is without Prednisone.

Joel's sister Summer is here now from Korea. She finished her master's degree and is renewing her visa before she heads back there for a great job at a University teaching teachers English. She has been here for a couple weeks and hopes to leave next week...if all the shuffling of papers works out at the Embassy. She was with us when we had the kittens and got to see my parents too. It will be sad when has to leave again for more than a year...and so far! But we are glad for this sweet time together.

Joel's best friend has chosen us to watch his 6 mo. old son full time. We are happy for Annie to have a 'little brother' to play with. He is a sweet and content baby. He makes Annie laugh a lot and vice versa. His mom is a guidance counselor and his dad works construction.


Here we are at our friend's tea party. Annie and her friend Andrew (6) had their own table. Another little boy there wanted to take the tablecloth.
