   Hey there! The kids and I left a message for you earlier after swimming.
   Daphne decided to go head first down the slide! Of course, the others had to follow suit instead of letting a 7 year old show them up. Can you believe that?

   Vincent became increasingly brave as he began to swim a few strokes to the middle of the pool. He was pretty proud.

   Brandon took them for a ride on the fire truck today. When the girls climbed into the truck, they told Vincent “there’s no room”. Brandon told him to hop down and ride in front with him. Suddenly, the girls got up and made space for him and said they’d sit in front instead! He even got to honk the horn!:)

   We are planning a movie night in the basement to watch the “Camp Rock” on Disney tonight. I rented something else for Vincent and Elaina but they are choosing to hang with the big kids.

   I had so much fun with you yesterday. Thanks for letting me tag along for so long. You look so good, but what else is new? I’ll be brushing up my karoke skills for you. Let me know when you are ready!

   Your younger sister,
   Erin

   Joel,

   I have been keeping up with your situation with the updates from Paula, since I talked with your Uncle Darrell.
   Tough road ahead for you, but if there is a person that can defeat the odds, that person would be you. We need to catch up and talk about your Glory Days.
   This blog deal is a good thing. I love your attitude and you can overcome.
   Your playing golf reminds me of you and Monteko hitting all my golf balls into the field next to my house in Madison. Rest of us were working like dogs moving me out of town—what were you doing?
   I can go on and on but want to keep this short for now. We have to discuss Purdue football and your work in home improvement. The HGTV show has to be a great thing for you. I know my daugher, Denise, uses it for all the jobs I have to do for her. I built a log cabin in ’96 and now they (family and friends) think I am Norm for God’s sake. I can do about anything, but they can think of some very unusal projects for me. I am stopping now. I pray for you many times during the day and with His help you have a chance.
   Oh, by the way. Your kids are great to see and your wife is way to cute for someone like you.

   Take care. John

   Great to hear from you hard to believe 20 years since graduation eh? I’m glad to know you’re well. If I knew you could build a log cabin I’d of given you a job for heavens sake. I’m really glad to hear from you please say hello to your kids for me. Take care.

   Joel

   Good morning Joel. It’s Saturday morning. The kids and Don are sleeping. I have my Coffee in hand and your blog in front of me. Just a quick hello to wish you a nice day. My God grant you hope for another tomorrow and fill your spirit with happiness as you live each minute today! Thinking, praying and wishing you well! Love Lisa & family.

   Thanks, Joel, for getting this blog set up.. ALL of us who care about you so much appreciate knowing what’s happening… I LOVE the photos of you and April and Rachel and Daphne and Vincent !!! Paula has been terrific also about keeping everyone informed. I, too, am SO grateful that Becky has been “in your court”. Speaking of “court”, I sent your “Celtics’ Dollar” yesterday. Take care…
