It Has Been A Long Time Since I Updated

Wow! I have been neglecting the blog. Sorry to those who visit it regularly.
A long post will follow - lots of things to share. But before I begin here is a new gallery of the kids - just click on the picture.















We are in the process of finding and buying a home. Currently our search is focused in the Kent / Renton area. We did put in an offer on a house in Kennydale a couple weeks ago, but obviously did not get it. Keep checking in - hopefully in the next couple weeks I can post pictures of our new home.


A Couple Birthdays

Meghan, my sister, turned 22 on May 22nd.

Carolyn turned 25 on April 22 - here is a picture of her and her cake (which Meghan made)
















Another Update From Brett Phillips















Brett Phillips will be coming home from Iraq in late July / early August. Please keep him in your prayers as he serves these last couple months. He sent another update, which can be found here.


Little Danny Donohoue Gets Married















In March, Carolyn's younger brother Dan married his bride, Hillary. It was a very nice ceremony with over 400 guests (they are popular people). Click on the picture above to see a gallery from the wedding.


A Couple College Buddies Come By For A Visit















It was great to see two of my really good friends from college - Jeff Jones and Debbie Akhbari. The picture is not an optical illusion, he is a really big man (6'8") and she is a really small woman (5' - maybe). We all had some great times in college - though I honestly don't think we remember most of them.

Final thought: If Jeff and Debbie mated, what would the kid look like? Seriously, it would be a genetic crap shoot.
