It's fantastic to hear from you. I had no idea that any of this was going on in your life - Tomas's death, a new love for you, and all the wonderful news from your kids. Ariel getting married - I'd love to hear the treehouse wedding story! Her job sounds engrossing, and what we all hope our children will find - work they love. It sounds like Laurel is in a good place, married, pursuing something she's passionate about. And Hunter the ninja-guy! How old is he now? Wow, how time flies.
Ah, I so miss Kaleidoscapes and all of you! There hasn't been another place like it!
My bunch are now 21, almost 19, and 13. Tim and Debby are in college, and Suzy is at home still. Tim and his girlfriend Megan are moving in together on May 1. He works in the IT department at his college, and also does a lot of "computer geek" work on the side. Debby is majoring in violin performance, and she also teaches violin. She's home in the summers, working as a naturalist at the state park near here. And Suzy has too many irons in the fire - she loves reading, horseback riding, art, soccer, nature, singing, piano, orchestra, volleyball, dogs, tv crime shows, and especially theatre - and that's just off the top of my head. And right now I'm heavily into gardening, turning my shady little acre into a woodland paradise.
I'm so glad you posted, Cerelle. Hey, everybody else - would you post updates on your families as well? I'd love to know what my old friends are doing!
