no, I didn't die ...... it's just been a long absence from the blogging world!

This is Avo's homecoming to Indiana and Luca's Birthday celebration!
This is what I found 2 weeks later after Luca left, I kept him for awhile when Jen and Luke were in Ethiopia, He loved this plant stand...... and I am guessing found a way to imitate it in is own unique way with some antique spools from my basement. It made me ask the question, if he is building a look alike from what he saw in my home and honestly, with his activity level , I wouldn't have thought it in him. How much more did he take away of my spirit in those day he spent with me? It was a sobering, funny and scarey thought. I miss you, Luca

I felt pretty much like these bears after the whoop-a-la was over for the two and a half week mark! I was hoping no one would notice my pasted on smile of overstimulation!


This is Kurt and our exchange student, Alan----- tough guys, ehhh

I thought I would shock everyone and come out of my blog "freeze"

because........ there are too many things to let slip by unnoticed.

I think I will start nice and easy again with a few pictures: - nice checking in again! -Annette
