Emma wanted a belly shot too:) She was doing some pretty cool dance moves which just can't be captured.... She was getting ready for her cousin Bradley Keatley's wave pool party:) 

7 Weeks left! Better start thinking more seriously about names.... Any suggestions? We do have a pattern that happened without us noticing... Emma Joy (EJJ) and then Josiah Elliot (JEJ) so i guess it should be EJJ for the next one, but we didn't plan it to be like that so we don't have to stick to it. Besides does only two actually make a pattern? I am sort of EJ if you if you forget about the R in the middle. I do have an EJJ name I like but i also have a WAJ and a HCJ that i like and on and on. hmmm 

Emma Joy at 3.5 years old. 

Every Friday David and Trevor go bowling. David was actually sore for days after the first couple of bowling matches... 

Any Linguists out there?

People often ask us what we did at Language School in Camdenton, MO. Here is a little bit of work that you can do to have a taste of our homework. I'll give you an easy one:)

Data:
narilowo "I know him."
lorinaya "He sees me."
nariliya "I see you."
nabeloya "I saw him."
lobenaya "He saw me."

Now see if you can translate from English into the above language:

"You see him." ______________
"He saw you." ______________
"I saw you." ______________

We'll see how many of you are linguists...
just send me back the 3 answers by email or preferably back as a comment

Eating pasties outside the Bath Cathedral, the actual baths are on the right (nice:) but the pasties were definetely the highlight of the day! At least mine was, I had a curried parsnip one and a cappuccino (which is not english!). 

This is at the end of our trip coming home, we look happy but really we were quite sad. Amy and Garron, and their beautiful little girl Journey are a few of our closest friends (oops I mean relatives!) 

this is one of the days that people that aren't original family members were allowed to go along:) We had so many of us there that space was often limited as to who could go sightseeing. The joke was always that only the originals could go but I think that really only happened once and it was for a good reason:)  

this was the view out of our bedroom window looking over the main street in Beer. the beach is just straight ahead about 3 blocks. 

We'd walk down the trail (in the pic below) along the ocean to go shopping on this street and have devonshire cream tea. nice 

I thought I'd post a few picks from our trip to England in March/April'04 just cause many of you haven't seen them and I've been dreaming of Beer lately! (Beer, Devon that is:) 

Emma and her cousin Ocean. They live in the same house so they get to spend lots of time together:) They mostly have a great time playing, singing and dancing. 

I got more people in this one but still not quite everyone:) Recognize anyone from Thunder Bay or Dorion??? Hey, does anyone have any book suggestions for us to read? We usually read a book together and discuss it over coffee and snacks.

Some of our Tuesday night group. We just finished the 40 days of Purpose meetings and need to pick a new book to study. A few people are from our same Reading Night (College Age) group that we started when we were first married back in '99. Others are even from our sunday school classes which has been really great watching them develop from teens to men and women:) Now the girls look older than me!

Here is Trevor! David spends 6 days a week with Trevor doing activities like aquasize, bowling, sightseeing and movies. Emma and Josiah love when they come visit us at our house to play. Trevor loves to chase them around the house:) Sometimes we go somewhere with them like the zoo or out for ice cream! It really is a great job for David, they have developed a pretty good friendship and it's just the right amount of work for David to still have time for us:) 

this is a typical house in Sarasota, Fl. People like Maury Povich, Steven Speilberg and Mary (that must not be how you spell it?) and Pippin! When we were out to eat with our friend, she mentioned that she had just been driving beside Steven S! People who live there get tired of the road blocks of people pulling up beside or slowing down to see the famous people etc. We were lucky enough to stay in a typical floridian trailer:) I was a little nervous as the tornadoes had just finished their destruction and some nights were a little windy:)
