Oh the Places You Will Go

Well, he is off again. This time to India. We will take him to the airport way early on Wed. morning. What an adventure he is going for! Makes me pretty nervous and yet excited for him. It is just that I will miss the communication with him via phone and probably won't get much e-mail. We will see. I helped him today for a while wrapping up some loose ends and cleaning up his flat for the person who is going to rent it. She came by and I had a chance to meet her. Totally impressed with her. Dallas has boxed up lots of his stuff and has found a corner in our "loft" (don't know why we call it that, but you all know what I mean) He is spending his last evening with his friends at his house eating goodies, etc. I just hope he can use the internet while he is there. I love the way that we can communicate so promptly with this wonderful tool. Let's all join as a family and pray for him as he leaves for several months. He will be ending up in Germany with Jeni and Tyler, which will be wonderful for him and for them. I think I will be able to relax when he gets there. In the meantime, my worry buttons are flashing non-stop. But yes, I know he will have a grand experience and have lots of stuff to tell about when he returns. So Dallas, please know that we will all miss you terribly and will be praying for your safe travel and for a wonderful time of learning and physical stretch. Please feel all of us gathered around in a group hug to wish you the best! We all love you tons!!! Remember and watch out for the weird food and all that. Hugs and kisses enough to last until after Christmas! xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxo Mom

Doug Graham update

Family,



Well, it seems that life is in full swing, and we have been enjoying a beautiful fall season here in Utah. We love where we live and how beautiful it is. I decided to include a few pics of the kids....you will see Ethan in football glory-their team was pretty small compared to all the mutant kids, and we didn't even win a game. Ethan seems to have had fun. He played running back and cornerback..got to catch a few passes, make some first downs and had a bunch of good tackles...I was proud of him because he never quit and kept playing, even when he got hurt sometimes.



Scarlett is great....she is quite creative, and if we are not careful, will follow in the footsteps of her cousin Annabelle in writing prose....I enjoy reading her stories....kind of interesting where she gets her ideas.



Sasha is sprouting...no longer our chubby little "jelly bean"...she has turned into a "string bean". She finally lost a tooth, and it makes me sad to see her little smile change. She loves to read...read, read read.



Teage has become a full on monster....in good and bad ways. Ever since his buddy Cooper died, he literally hates being alone, doesn't like to sleep in his bed, and never lets Jodi and I out of his sight...kind of sad, because he is always talking of us leaving him....he used to be pretty independant-we'd find him downstairs playing by himself for hours....he is such a tough little kid-he loved going to Ethan's football practices and games and wants to play himself...We probably could've used his help this year



Jodi is wonderful as usual....what else can anyone say.....she puts up with me..

East Lake Homecoming Take 2

Savannah went to the dance with a bunch (about 20) girls. They don't go as a date so it makes it so that she goes even though she is not 16. She stayed and did all the activities they had besides the dance...She and her friend wouldn't step foot into the dance hall. It was gross they say. Itsn't that a shame that they can ruin the opportunity to have a fun dance....oh well. She had her portait done and watched a magic show and stuff like that. She looked awsome thought. She is quite the beauty! My pearls and shoes thank you very much. We did spend the afternoon doing hair between her and Mady. I think it looked like gold ribbone!

East Lake Homecoming Take 1

Here are some pictures of my #2 beauty! She went to homecoming with some of her friends and then she called me and asked me to pick her up because she felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere! Go Mady, Go Mady, Go Mady! I said you be and didn't even ask a question until I picked her up!

Pictures From Monterrey Mexico

I have so much fun with Google Earth! I use it everyday in my business, and it is so incredible. I use it's tools in my ISP business, and use it for several construction and real estate clients as well. I also like to visit my son in Mexico! I got these great pictures from Google Earth. Landon lives north of the big mountain with the Notch, in a Colony called Tamaulipas, in the suburbs of Monterrey. URBAN SPRAWL!!! Wow! Look at all those people! You can see why he likes it there. The mountain reminds him of Timp back home! Please drop him a line!
