Oh Tamara, you look so happy! I am so glad to see the pictures and especially of you. Sounds like all is well. We just got back from a week at Disney in Florida. Kids had a blast. Mike and I are exhausted but it was worth all the smiles and squeals of excitement as well as the tears. Over all I think the kids did a good job. On a sad note, Emily Tuttle’s Dad passed away unexpectedly on the 3rd of May. Heart attack. He was 61. Looking forward to the next post.

Hey there,sister of mine. I haven’t been able to connect for awhile. We have had MAJOR computer issues here on campus as of late. I hope you are able to receive this. I love reading your blogs and hearing all about your adventures. WOW, what an experience you are having! You look great and I know you are soaking up all that is there for you to experience! Me…just working away as always. I may take on a second job on a bird farm, that should be fun and interesting as well. Anyway, kids and their babes are doing well. Landri wrecked on her bike and ended up with stitches in her chin, poor girl. It is Oliver’s 1st birthday today MAY 12th. Crazy he is a year old already!! Kye passed his tests for Kindergarten, Yeah!! Talon is doing well, and of course he plays every sport known to mankind! Evee is doing well, her sleep issues have subsided somewhat and are getting better. Eason and Dekker are the cutest boys ever! And, our little Finley has the most outrageous crazy stubborn personality ever!! Gawd, how I love them all…they do my heart good, that is for sure!!!! Take good care, love you~ Renee
