Hi Family!

It was great to read your notes! It took me forever to figure out how to make this thing work, because the B up at the top left doesn't look like a B to me! I am a little bit technologically challenged. That is why I am so glad that Linzy and Rachel got this going! I was wondering what we could do to stay in touch with each other's lives. It was great to see all of you! It helps to know that we are here for each other. The other day I was listening to the oldies radio station here in Denver because it has good music. It plays Grandpa tunes. I heard "All I do is dream of you the whole night through, with the dawn I still go on dreaming of you." It made me cry! That was one of the many songs my dad sang. And I thought that was something we left out at the funeral. When I am happy, I feel like singing, I guess that came from him. Sometimes I try to remember the songs that he sang. Maybe we could come up with a bunch together. When I played with my cousin, Melodie, he sang to her, "This is my song, this is my melody.." It embarrassed us at the time. "Say nighty night, and kiss me, hold me tight, and tell me you miss me, Birds singing in the sycamore tree, dream a little dream of me". I probably won't get the words right but, "She's got a half-back in Pennslyvania, she's got a quarterback in ...............She's just an all American girl!"Anyway on to family news, Amber has applied for an internship for next fall to teach elementary school, so she will get her student teaching done through the real experience. Michael is busy making wedding plans and missing Amber #2. They will be married June 22 in the Denver temple. Stephanie taught a girl, who was just baptized last Sunday. She has a companion who is originally from Ecuador. Chris is trying hard to learn Cantonese, he is in Hong Kong. He gave a talk in church, and used the wrong tone in a word, and the congregation corrected him right during the meeting! He is doing well. Matt is obsessed with basketball. He finished his season with the freshmen Columbine team and moved up to competing with the church teacher/priest team that Kerry is coaching. If you want we could show you his "video" (napoleon dynamite!) I took my tests last week for my Montessori training that I have been working on for a year. The tests were sent back to London to be graded, so I 'll know in April whether or not I passed! Kerry is working on section E of our kitchen cabinets. They are beautiful! I'll have to post a picture when they are done. I hope everyone will write, and that we can continue blogging away. Love you all, Kathy
