Today, it's all about the kids




Wow


Can you believe that Sue and I now have a Senior in High School. Seems like just yesterday that we sent him off to Kindergarten and now look at him. Kind of brings tears to our eyes.

Anyway...................


Travis is now a Senior at Juan Diego, he plays on the golf team and still works p/t at REI, he's been at REI now since he was 16 so we sure hope that looks good on his College Application when he starts applying soon. As best we can tell, it's looking like the University of Utah for him, since Sue still works for the University, it's hard to pass up the 50% discount that he'll get for Sue's hard work there. Golf season is underway and Travis has played in one tournament so far. He continues to do well in golf and we hope he continues to improve thru out the season and make it to state once again.


Ali is now in 8th grade at St. John the Baptist Middle School. Typical teenager Ali has turned out to be. She plays Volleyball and Basketball. Sue is the coach for Ali's team, Sue never played Volleyball yet she's an excellent coach. Ali has kept busy all summer babysitting for the mothers in the area.


Justin is now in 7th grade. Soon we'll have everyone in their teens, Justin turns 13 on September 6th, once again for those 18 days we get to remind Ali that her brother is the same age as her, she just hates that :) Justin plays Fall and Spring Lacrosse and in the winter he plays Basketball. His sport is truly Lacrosse as it has been since we moved her 2.5 years ago. His summer consisted of Xbox Live, what did we get ourselves into when that was purchased.


Our kids bring us joy each and every day, the normal frustrations are there, but in the big picture, they are great kids and we're sure lucky to have them.


Good luck in school for them this year, we love you.


Dan & Sue
