More Yosemite Pictures











Here are more pictures of the trip. . .

Vacation to Yosemite











Just back from a trip to Yosemite National Park. We had never been there and had heard how beautiful it is. The rumors were true! The falls and meadows and rock formations were so breathtaking! We really enjoyed our time there. The mosquitos were out in force and temps up in the 100's, and tons of people, but it was still worth dealing with all of those things. On the way back we stopped in Solvang for a night and enjoyed the danishes and Swedish pancakes for breakfast. Wish our trip could have been longer, but it was a blessing to get away even for a few days.

Summer Begins . . .











Summer is just getting started and I hope it goes by s-l-o-w-l-y so I can recoup before it all starts up again. I found out that I will be switching grade levels once again--to 4th this time. This grade will probably be a better fit for me, but it does mean starting all over from scratch again. The Lord wants to keep me flexible and trusting Him!








Here are a few recent pictures. Denny with his Father's Day cookie bouquet from Lisa & Matt, Liam playing in the park, and Emma's first two teeth! We are planning to go to Yosemite for a few days the end of June, so will probably have more pictures to post soon. . .

David Graduates!!







David has finished high school! Where has the time gone? He has been so diligent in his studies, pulling top grades in anatomy and physiology--his passion. His plans for now are to go to Crafton Hills to get started and then transfer to a university for a B.S. in some area of science. He hopes to go to medical school after that. To give him experience in the field, he is currently volunteering in the LLUMC emergency room and is checking into a shadowing program. We are so proud of you , David! Your hard work and dedication will pay off as you seek to use the gifts God has given you to bless others!

Making Up For Lost Blogs . . .











You'll find it hard to believe that I have 2 blogs in one day when I haven't done one since last summer! Just wanted to add a few more pics. David went to his senior prom last night so here is a picture of the handsome young man ready to go. We went out this morning for Mother's Day breakfast at the Kopper Kettle (again) with my mom and Christy and my brother Larry. Also, we took a 4 generation picture for Emma's baby album!
















Eveland Events











We were so blessed during the month of April to have Lisa, Matt, and baby Emma stay with us before they left for 4 years of duty in Belgium. We so enjoyed their company and they left a big hole in our hearts when they left. . . It was so wonderful to get to know Emma in all of her cuteness. We will certainly miss being able to see her personally go through all the stages of infant to toddler to preschooler. Hopefully, we will be able to see them on Skype and also take a trip to Belgium as well. Even our dog Dottie began wailing when her new-found friend Casey had to leave. . .God has a plan for their lives and we know they are being tenderly cared for by Him.
