So far away.

We will be in Seychelles, Africa Thursday.
Will is somewhere in Poland.
Randi is in DC.
Daddy will be in India in a few weeks.
Millie is in Belgium.
Caty is in Philippines.
Lee is in Germany.
Rob is in California.
Cody is in Brazil...

It is kind of hard to keep up with everyone. It is kind of sad we are so far away from each other, sometimes I kind of wish we all lived in the same town. Why do we all like to travel so much?

I used the phrase "kind of" 3 times.

    HA! Someone needs to go to Australia and Antartica, then we'll have all the continents covered.

    Hi Mrs. Roberts! Man, even though it's hard, it's pretty stinkin awesome that your family gets these chances in their lives to travel! Rob is a little over an hour away from me, so we hung out last Friday! There's a couple that attends our church that lives 10 min away from his military base, so I think he'll be catchin a ride with them to my church! :) Hope you're well!

    Aunt Liz, WHERE ARE YOU?! I've got some Christmas stuff for you guys, but it ended up being really expensive to ship... so I'm going to give it to my mom and let her ship it with her Christmas gifts... Is that bad?... Oh well. Hope you're doing well. I'm looking at a grad school close to you guys. I would LOVE to live near you guys again!

    Hey Aunt liz How are you doing? I haven't heard from you in a while!
    by libby at 08/30/07 2:11AM

Russ went to Texas and Georgia and Korea and this is one of the pictures he sent me.

I thought it was interesting...and I didn't know any of those places had big mountain lions.

But he certainly is brave.
  • missliz
    I can't see my new picture...maybe you can. Also, happy birthday will.

    Hey, I met your brother-in-law the other day at church. I was in Ft. Worth visiting some friends. As Kent would say, the connections never end. = )

  • angell
    I'm glad you like Joel. We of course like him too. I'm not suprised Randi liked him, he is the best baby ever. = ) I hear he was pretty taken with Russ. = )

back from jacksonville

Well, we had a great trip. Russ flew into Jacksonville from Germany Thrusday and I made it on Friday. We were able to have two nice long walks on the beach and Saturday it was so warm that we swam! It was beautiful...and I was able to read a lot for my Job class, so it was especially good.

My parents are doing well, Daddy is as busy as ever...is that called retirement?

I will now try to attach a picture of Lee and her nose and her son.

  • aschlosser
    Where is that pic of Lee? I got to see your mom at the lectures. Glad you had fun!
    by aschlosser at 02/23/06 8:55AM
  • jennisdad
    Liz, we have a problem. You are spoiling my oldest child (Jillian)! When she got home last night she wanted "daddy" to fix her an apple and peanut butter. I gave her the apple cut up, and the jar of peanut butter, to which she replied "But Liz puts a little dollup on my plate for me!" From now on, just give her the jar and a knife!!

    Yes, I saw Tucker and he is so cute - he is getting so big - I also heard about Jen - WOW!

  • angell_mom
    Has Amy sent you the most recent pictures of Joel? He is getting around so fast now -- crawling that is. He really wants to walk, but he hasn't quite learned to slow down enough to keep his balance. He has five teeth now, two on top and three on the bottom. He talks ALL the time - imagine that! We would love to see ya'll - why not plan a trip to KS some time soon = I know Amy will be up there the first of June, so you'll get to see them.
    by angell_mom at 04/06/06 9:29AM
  • aschlosser
    I can't wait to see you too!! (Look at my exclaimation marks) You do need to come out for some watermelon - yummy - and strawberries - I need to get some tips from the Manaughs - I should write Terese and ask for some!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Who was St. Valentine? I don't remember.

Anyway, my hubby is in Germany this year....but don't worry about me, he didn't forget.

He sent me on a scavenger hunt via e-mail, hidden cards and finally a hidden present (earrings)in my office today...he is a good one, I am glad I married him:)

OK, don't want my kids to get sick, so that is all I will say about that. Hope everyone is having a great day, I am going to attempt to draw my earrings in honor of Randi....

Q Q

there you have it.

I need a new blog

We are all doing well... as busy as ever here, evenings are still busy, but I like that so things are good.

Russ is leaving for Germany on Saturday, so he will get to see Lee and Tony and John (and maybe Caty...but I don't know where she is...where are you Caty?). Maybe I can put somemore pictures up soon...maybe Russ can take some in Germany, that would be good.

Lee broke her nose on Saturday, I am so sorry that her nose that she paid so much for is now damaged!:) Lee, are you reading this...I love you, but you are not as pretty as me, face it. I do understand however, that there was a lot of blood and such, so I am glad I was not there, I would have been no help whatsoever!

Randi, I hope your meatloaf was good last night:)

Will, did you like Randi's meatloaf?

Am I suppose to ask questions on your blogs?

Hello Jonathan:)

  • willhelm
    randi's meatloaf was disgusting mom! teach her your ways

  • caty
    I'm in Belgium. I left Germany Sunday. I'm working at the school, so I probably won't see him... that's sad... I wish I could. I thought I would see you guys in DC, at staging before we leave... but they're doing it in Detroit, which makes no since. I really hope I can see you guys, before I leave.
