hello. i am doing well. no news is good news, so that's why there's been no news. we are enjoying our summer. it will go by fast. david is jumping off the diving board (with his float attachment). lydia is putting her face in the water and also doggy paddles. shendi is tan as ever. we are definetly enjoying the pool.

shendi is in the mountains. she went with her youth group to do campground ministries in Cherokee. they have a busy schedule. she was very excited as she's never been to the mountains. they will be back on tuesday. i can't wait to hear all the wonderful things God has planted in her heart:) i am so proud of her and thank God for her every day. if you know our story then you know how precious she is to us. she has come a long way. she will continue to grow and i am blessed to be a part of her life.

for now, everythings good.
and by the way.. i havent' mailed out the first thank you note. they are written with no addresses on them. so after 3 months you'd think i'd have them done. well, i don't. maybe soon:0)
