Got your blog and pics. Looks like you are having a good time. Looks COLD but then again thats what they make Guiness for. What happened in the 737????? I knew Steven would like it. We love you and hope you are doing well and having fun. All is well here and I put Andys table together not her. Your car is still in the shop and don't know when it will be ready. When it is I will sell it. Love you.

Dad

Hey guys, the pictures are great. That photography class you took in college paid off - Steven. Who is that hot girl you are kissing Steven? She must work out. Anyway Steven this is for you to remember. He who eats too many prunes, sits on toilet many moons. Just eat wisely. You look like you getting skinny. Just kidding. Keep us posted and please send more pics. Dude - I think I saw you in Capri Pants. Please tell me it isn't so.

Hey guys, sure was nice to hear from you, the pictures are awesome, now we're really envious we were just jealous before. Can't wait for the next group. Steven, Roxy is doing just fine, curled up in your Dad's arms right now (just a little bit spoiled). Stay in touch. Love you guys.

So where to start...First, Citizen Cope was AMAZING...and what was even more amazing than his voice... his hair...it was pure perfection. So to catch you up on American Idol....Simon said dreds was the best of the night..again... he sang without his guitar and believe it or not he was just as good...mabe better....he sang Hallelujah...it was super fab. Tell Steven i put my table together and it only took me 10 short minutes...not days Love yous guys

Hey bro. I figure since you can't be here to play on the team, I will keep you up to date on soccer. We lost to the Chivas Saturday 4-3. There is no midfield. Neither you nor cooper were there. I've never run so much on D in my life. Anyway, I would hope that maybe you could catch a game while overseas. Hope the backpacks aren't weighing you guys down yet. Also don't forget to shower when possible. "Man who go to bed with itchy butt wake with smelly finger." Remember that.

Hey guys, we just figured out how to do this - Steven knows how good I am on a computer. :) Just wanted to say Hi and hope everything is going well. Roxy is doing great, haven't seen any signs of pouting, I think Sam is keeping her occupied or driving her crazy. Give us a call when you can I know it's hard now that you are worldly travelers. LOL

I forgot to tell you...Mrs. Odem has a friend who lives in Amsterdam her name is Caroline Finch...number is 646-594-6317...they say she's cool...and if you need a place to stay she is your woman.

Peace out

Hello....Opaque tadpol...i hope all is well and there has been no parting of ways yet! I was also wondering if your back pack is starting to get heavy yet...i hope not. So to up date you on my boring life.....well my student who shall not be named escaped the timeout room and ran the halls buck naked...it was the worst 10 mins of my life....he is really really fast...GROSS. Have fun in Scottland...and i hope your credit card has a ring purchase on it from Ireland. Oh.....is Steven not surprised that i love him..i guess my love is not a great as Michaels....PS.. i told Jackson that you loved him...and he said..whos kate!

Good News!! The battery was Jenn's. Love, Mom

Thanks mom...that would have been a bummer. almost as bad as missing your flight.

Kate, Check your camera, I think you left your battery charging in my bathroom. Oops!! Go ahead and buy another one - it will be worth it in the long run. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Love, Mom Maybe it is not yours - I hope.

You two are going to have a blast! Travel opens your mind and allows you to look at things differently. Absorb, absorb and absorb some more. HEllo to all our mates in Dublin. Love you both, Mom

To follow up on what Andy said, I want to let the two of you know I love you both and hope you have a great trip. One word of advice, check and double check arrival and departure times of every mode of transportation that you may be using while in America and overseas. Think about this while enjoying your time "Travelling is the ruin of all happiness! There's no looking at a building here after seeing Italy." Enjoy your time because this is a once in a lifetime trip.

Wiser? it all depends on what you call wise. Kate is flabergasted that you love her. Both of us hope you are having a great time in mobile at work . Tell my sisinlaw hey and colin Peek-a-boo!!!
