Here are a couple of our traditional
Easter Day photos taken on the shore of Sullivan's Island, South Carolina. |

| Cosette and Kyle are still very active in Horse Riding
and Karate. In April Cosette participated in her first horse riding competition.
Despite being the youngest rider, by far, in her class, she won a sixth-place
ribbon in "Walk Trot Pleasure". We are very proud of the dedication
and work she has put towards her riding. Earlier in the year Kyle earned
his green belt in Tae Kwon Do karate. He participated in a local tournament
and won trophies in both sparring and forms. Kyle is continuing to work
over the summer and hopes to test for his purple belt this Fall. |

| We took a one-week vacation in June to our new mountain
vacation home where we were joined by Maria's parents for several days.
We had a wonderful time visiting with them and the kids loved having some
real quality time with their grandparents. |

|
We spent a day at Tweetsie Railroad,
a local amusement park. They wouldn't let us keep the kids behind bars
overnight. |

One of the major attractions for
our vacation home is access to the Watauga River right across the road.
It's supposed to be one of the best trout fishing streams in the state
of North Carolina, but we haven't caught anything yet. |

| We have a new addition to our family, Porquin. He and our older
cat, Snowflake (aka Li'l Rascal), have become great friends. Sometimes they
tear around the house chasing each other, but mostly they just wrestle and
then sleep. Sadly, our older cat, Puddin', was hit by a car and died. We
buried her in the back yard and we will always remember her fondly. |
