Hello Everyone we love,

What an exciting past week it has been! My brother-in-law Ronnie Garan went up on the Space Shuttle Discovery on Saturday, May, 31. It was a picture perfect lift-off. Today, Ronnie did his 1st of 3 space walks and it went very well. Please pray for God's continued care of Ronnie and his fellow astronauts. He returns home in 2 weeks.

Attached are some recent pictures. This is the last week of school for Michael and Sarah. Michael has his pre-school graduation this Friday. I can't believe my little boy will be in Kindergarten next year...yikes... where did these past 5 years go! Our plans for the summer include Bible school and then a condensed version of pre-school for the month of July. It will be a nice way to break-up the long summer. Hopefully it will be a nice and relaxed summer.

Jessica turns one-year-old at the end of the month, June 27th! Wow, finally. This past year dragged for me mainly because she has been a very difficult baby. She is so funny and has such a big personality, she is physically advanced meeting all her milestone 3-4 months before expected, but she is also very high maintenance, not a good sleeper, and needy of me all the time. But she is awesome nonetheless.

Michael is doing very well in piano and this summer is starting sports at the local YMCA. I will also be starting to teach Michael and Sarah to read this summer. I think they will both do well and I'm really looking forward to it. Watch Jessica catch on and start reading too, I wouldn't be surprised ;-)

On a personal note, I have a friend who's 2-year-old daughter, Sarah Townsend, has been diagnosed with a very serious cancer and I am asking everyone I know to pray that God heals this little girl, and comforts and supports her family during this time. With God nothing is impossible for those who ask so please ask our Heavenly Father to give mercy and healing to Sarah Townsend and her family. Thanks you.

Love in our Savior's name,
Dawn
