Well it's been a long time......Kayla is quizzing this year,so that's what i'm doing this month.The first quiz was on Sat. the 31st. of Jan. in PA. so we all went that day and stayed up for the weekend. We went to cabela's after the quiz and then got a motel ,was a relaxing weekend. But yesterday and 2 weeks before that I rode along on the bus. I enjoy it a lot.The next quiz is in like 2 weeks or so then the leave like Wed. and stay till Fridays. It 's at Black Rock Retreat.(also in PA.) I am wanting to go up on Thursdays and stay for Friday's to so we shall see. Justin has also been having Basket Ball games so we have been going to his games to.He is on the JV team and they have done good so far. Friday the 21st they had a game in Reading PA. I think they won every game (or at least the ones i watched). I do like to watch him play he keeps getting better all the time. The game will be here in Dover playing Faith high from PA. next friday the 6th of March.I think i have that right(some time soon). Hopefully i won't forget my camera. We have weekend meeting this weekend starting tonight-sunday so that will keep us hopping.But should be good Bro.Dave from central is the speaker and it's on Family.Well that's all for now!!!

I went with Anita and her 2 girl's.Anita came home on Wed. and i stayed .Alvin and the children came down Fri. morn. and we got home this morn.@ 10:00.We had a wonderful time .Went way to fast. Mary seems to be feeling pretty good , Dylan kinda has his day and night mixed up , so while i was there i would take him after she fed him and she could go back to bed, so she is going to miss that. My sister Jo is flying down on thur. and will be there till tues. and she will have meals coming in for like 7 days however she wants them. It really did tug at my heart to leave and i know it will be like that now that they have a baby, just got used to Phil's coming and going but now it will be different.Well i got some pics so will see if i can get them uploaded.

! Mary I love you and wish you a good day 
! Any one wants to wish her a Happy Birthday you can e-mail her at mpsommers05@yahoo.com ! She is also pregnant which we are so excited about. Due in September! That's all for now.Have a great day!!!

Well i'll try to update again for the third time!!! We had a great time in Haiti with Phil and Mary.The weather was awesome while we were down there.Went to the market, were i got lots of cheap but...nice material and we went to the beach the water was so awesome clearer than FL.water and it was so warm you just walked right in, and they took us out to eat one night.The ride to and from was very adventurous in itself
. They drive like maniacs(don't know if i spelled that right) they blow the horn and you'd better move to the side or if there is a traffic jam they just sit there blowing the horn till they can get though and Phil and the other workers they drive like that to they say if you don't you wouldn't get anywhere.Let me tell you it was Wild!!!!From the airport back to Phil's i was amazed how they drove.It sure felt good to get behind those block walls.I was ready to leave again the next day.Jo and I helped Mary clean the Life building and do the laundry from there and she had to make lunch for all the workers on Tuesday so we helped with that and then on Thursday eve.she had to do dinner for everyone but there was only 3 that came.The Monday before we left they got the lady from the village to make us a Haitian meal.....it was very good.She loves to come to Phil's house.The people in the village behind them are so much fun.I got pretty attached to them in just one week.There's one lady and her children are so special.Steve is going down on Friday and want to send a package down for them.They asked if us, or Mike's wouldn't want to come and take Phil's place when they leave.Phil's are leaving on Friday.Well i have lot's of pictures so i'll let them tell the rest. It is not letting put pics on so i will try next time.Well have a great week!!
