Hey Steven & Kate,

Haven't heard from you guys on the blog recently, everyone is anxiously anticipating the next group of pics. from your travels.

Steven, check your e-mail Mario called me to give you 2 different phone numbers for you to get in touch with him. He tried to call you but couldn't get through. He's waiting to hear when you'll be in Germany.

Love you. Mom

Hi guys, sounds like you are having a great time. All is well here. Kelly started work yesterday and seems to like it. He's doing well. Got your car yesterday and it still does not start well at times. Will try and sell it asap. Jack got 4 shots the other day and he let out 4 hellish screams that pat or jen had never heard before. He was most upset when Sophie got hers. He has turned out to be a bit of a protective big brother.... You two enjoy and remember that skin not use to seeing the sun will burn really bad. Love you and think of you often and smile when I do. Bye...Oh yea Steven how do you get that long board in your backpack????????????

Kate please check your hotmail acct - concerning some assistance for your banking needs. Love, Mom Isn't Italy wonderful??

Kate, just wanted to say hi! Sounds like you guys are having a great time. I wish I was there. Hugs and Kisses from the babies!

O kate i wanted to tell you the mustache on the cup went perfectly with your actual sideburns...it was awesome!

WOW......first off mom you should get a job writting book jackets...your message made me feel like i was reading a travel book on Italy. kateven I hope everything is going well...and that you have bought me many many great gifts... o and kate check you hotmail....please. Bye

Hey guys - one quick thing - my post was soooooooooo much better than mom's last post. She isn't like a cheetah when it comes to things to say on a message board. Ha

Hey Steven,

Just thought you'd like to know, Michael cracks himself up. That's all talk to you later (or write to you later). Enjoy Italy, let me know if you get to Tuscany, never mind, don't let me know.

Love you.

Mom

Apparently my absence from this message board is causing great sadness and concern on the world travelers. I don't want to dissapoint them or the rest of the members of the board. First things first - I would appreciate it if my brother (a.k.a. Steven) would never question my MASTERHOOD. You and I both know that once you become a MASTER you never return. It is sort of like I am a cheetah - I am fast on my feet (means I think quick). To my brother's girlfriend (a.k.a. Kate). I am glad to here you are living the true European way and going buff on the beaches. That is the only way to go. I will try to write more often because I don't want to dissapoint you guys. It really makes me feel good to know that you two value my words of wisdom. As for the wise comments, I will again leave you guys with two since I haven't posted in 10 long days - 1. Squirrel who runs up woman's leg won't find nuts. 2. Since both of you have trouble with time this is perfect - Man who drop watch in toilet bound to have crappy time. Think about those and I will return later to grace you with my thoughts. Over and out bro and sis. Love you guys and keep the pictures coming.

Heading into Italy - so much to look forward to!!! You will fall in love with the art, the cities and the people - fantastic!! I can almost taste the table wine and the pizza as I type - Yummy. I will be available all day onFriday by cell phone should you need to touch base about the account. Love you, Mom

MICHAEL....WHERE ARE YOU. you dont return my (steven) and you havent left us wise coments!! is your ability to be a master fading??
