     Our reunion in St. Louis was a great success.  We are already planning next years!  Of course, it will depend on when and referral and travel is.  We would really like it if everyone would come here.  I guess we will have to wait and see.

     I have been busy painting the kitchen and family rooms.  I am really pleased with the results so far.  I used a paint called Mountain Gloaming.  It is a real pretty purple.  Daddy even likes it.  Next will be the hallways and then off to our bedroom.

     We had such a good time in St. Louis.  All the girls are growing up to be such beautiful toddlers.  RaeAnne and Kira are the same size and seemed to hit if off as good buds.  RaeAnne was so good on our trip.  We gave up her ba-ba while there.  It was sort of an accident.  Somehow we lost her bottle.  So far so good, she does ask for it once in a while, but we are getting by without it.

     We are to get the photos back from Sears in July.  It was very interesting to say the least, trying to get 4 toddlers to sit still.  It was Christen's first time for professional photos. We were able to get 3 pictures in 30 minutes.  Oh well.  There is always next year.
