Pat and Karen,
Hope you can read your comments from there. So glad to hear from you. Sam is doing great in VBS! He is getting lots of attention from Debbie and Britney. L,K and I have been in his room. He was excited we were coming over this afternoon. once he told me he missed his mommy and daddy and i scooped him up in my lap and told him i was going to give him some Mommy love. he smiled really big and let me snuggle him more than ever before. I, of course, ate this up. Then he ran off to find his Red Bad Guy. He did tell your dad today that both Mommy and Daddy said "No baths for Sam." Don't worry, i don't think your dad fell for it. Gracie and Cole are, of course, being champs. Gracie took Lily out to the trampoline by herself as i watched from the kitchen. They had a blast. Cole found me at VBS and i got the sweetest hug from him. Phil and I got to experience the ice cream truck with all the kids. Lily and Kate are determined to make cupcakes for Hadley. They keep pulling out the muffin pan and telling me about the cupcakes. So...so far so good. We are praying ferverently. We love you,
Jennifer (for P/K/L)
Praying for each of you daily!Love, The Registers
