Looking at the pictures make me think of a great quote a great person once said "Love is like buried treasure and that must make you Captain Jack Sparrow........arrrrrrrrggg maties! Peace out

Again, enjoying looking at everything you guys have been doing and seeing. Spent a little time last night looking at photos we somehow missed seeing. I think we're caught up now. Steven, check you e-mail as soon as you can.

Love Mom

Great photos - what memories!! Kate next time you get near a computer, please check your hotmail address. Be good you two, Love you, Mom xoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey Kate & Steven,

Oh my Gosh!!! the pictures from Switzerland are incredible, it seems the pics. get better and better with every country you go to. Switzerland is just beautiful.

Just finished reading some of your postings, sorry to hear about the fine on the train, not sure why not putting the date on your ticket matters (you'll have to explain when you get back).

I should have known Steven would do something crazy like paragliding did you do it Kate??? and at last he can say he has learned to snowboard, but how many people can saw they learned at Innsbruk? wow!

Gotta go but just keep having a great time and making all those wonderful memories together, can't wait to hear all the stories when you get back.

Steven, Roxy says hi and she still misses you; she's got a big wet kiss waiting for you.

Love you - Mom

Hi Cake & TB,

It's really late...we snuck downstairs to email you. We have to hurry before mom or dad busts us. They will be mucho, mucho pissed off if they catch us! Our address is: 8416 Stone Mason Dr, Raleigh, NC 27613. We are excited to see the postcard. We will look at your pictures tomorrow. Much Love - us

Hey guys,

The new updated blogs are great. Hopefully you will be able to print all of them when you get home. Will make a great travel log of your adventure. I figure the new photos will come later when you have time to download them - to bad you couldn't do that at the same time as your washing adventure. You know me, liking to get two things completed in the most effective manner.

All are well here and Jack scored another four goals at his soccer game. He reported that next year we won't have to miss any of his games. Sophie is beginning to talk up a storm - to cute.

It has become cold again - compared to where you have been, I'm sure it is a sauna. Having Kim and Rich's family party today. Should be a lot of fun for the kids. Hard to think of them as leaving.

You two be good and continue your awesome adventure. Remember to count your blessings along the way - not many are able to experience what you all are getting to do. Love always, Dodie

Hey Steven & Kate - Once again the pictures are amazing. I'm not sure which country has the prettiest scenery. Spain is in the lead right now though, wow! some of your pictures are good enough to win a photography contest. Just saw the pics. from your hostel what a view, the flowers are amazing, what are they?

Everything here is fine, Colin is growing like a weed and is Sooooo cute you just want to bite him. But I'm sure Michael is keeping you posted on everything. Guess I'll let you go for now, looking to the next group of pics. keep em coming.

Love and miss you, Mom

Hi Kate & Turkey Bacon,We really miss you and ask our mom when you are coming to see us. She circled the date on the calendar and told us not to ask her anymore. We have been really busy watching b-ball. We are really bummed b/c UNC lost. EJ has no fan loyalty - he will only root for the team that's winning. Sawyer is very busy trying to be "older" and being very funny in the process. Marley, the comedian, just walks around laughing and works hard at keeping up with her sibs. Marley insists that her "real" birthday is August 19th and that she, Sawyer and EJ are triplets. Sawyer is on a mission to change her name to "Katie." EJ, according to Sawyer, is the best basketball player - in the house. According to our parents, EJ might not need a college fund anymore b/c he has a great chance of getting a full ride thanks to all the practice he gets with his nerf basketball and basket. Mom and Dad still have not found us a house. They keep saying the playrooms are not big enough in the houses they have seen. We can't wait to get a new house. Our house now is so small that our parents hear EVERYTHING and at night keep coming into our room to tell us not to play b-ball in the dark or to get out of the closet and get back to bed. Sometimes they can be a bit mean, don't you agree? Please try to update your pictures more often. Whenever we are not being good our mom says that we should look at Kate's pictures - we know it's to distract us. She gets pissed (we're really not allowed to use that word yet) when there are no new ones. Our parent's have been impressed with the great shots you are taking. Time for bed. We love you!

Hey guys, the photos are amazing. Some really fantastic artistic shots, especially in Estapona. Will want to blow up a couple when you all get back. Hope the hostels aren't getting to you. Maybe you all can splurge and get a B and B once a week for a little change.

All here is fine. Saw Jack and Sophie when I was up in Birmingham last week, Jack is psyched about "Living with Andy" this summer. All else rather normal - which is not at all bad. Love to you both, XOXOXOX MOM
