Hello all!    I was just rereading the emails from last week.  I wish we could have seen Joseph make that penalty kick!  Sounds like the coach new exactly who to have take care of that!     James, good luck on your new situation at work! We'd love to hear more about it. Yes, Aimee, it is good to have a 4 year old in the house, but they don't stay that way for long...but then it's good to have 5 year olds, and 6 year olds, etc... even soon to be 16 year olds!    We went to see Captain America.  I liked it very much...but it was more violent than I was comfortable with. Lots of funny lines though. And WIDE open for a sequal too.    For you older kids. Last week Wanda Hillman's father passed away. His funeral is tomorrow. I got to stop and visit with her and Colter (Ben's age) for almost an hour, and it was nice to catch up. Colter lives there with his mom, just as bright and thoughtful as ever, but I'm not sure what is going ...

Hi everyone, and Happy Birthday to Macy (Apr 27) and Calvin (today)!    We've been having some nice weather, cold in the mornings, but very pretty during the day. Sorry to our Denver bunch!  Don't mean to rub it in!  :)    Gran and I went to Howard Moon's funeral yesterday, it was very nice.  The Catholic Father did a lovely job, even though he had never met Howard.  There was a lot of family there; more than I had expected, and about 10 of us from Egin.  We went to the graveside service as well, and while we were there, Gran and I walked over to visit Granddad's grave.  While we were there, I saw a headstone that was a bench. I think I'd like to have something like that...just saying!                 Dad and I will be going to see Captain America: Civil War, next week at the Roxie, in St. Anthony.  Jocie, Janie, Jake's family, etc...will be there too. Sou...

Hi everybody!    I hope your are all doing well.  I just got back from taking a walk; went between rain showers to stay dry. It was a pretty day for a walk.     We've had an eventful couple of weeks, haven't we?  Between April 5th and 19th, we lost Grandpa, then Howard Moon, and then Will Park.  I must admit, I have taken Will's death harder than the other two.  We're just happy for Grandpa and Howard; but I guess we should feel the same way for Will; his death was just much more surprising.     Beth had a hysterectomy earlier this week, and she's back home now, doing pretty well, as far as I know.  Janie has been in the hospital with pneumonia, exacerbated by asthma, and had thought she might go home today, but the doc told her this evening that they would shoot for tomorrow.    I went to Boise on Thursday for a Qualis meeting at the Riverside hotel, and got to spend some time with Dixie's and Zach's family....
