Practicing for the Polar Bear Plunge . . .
I am not sure it was really necessary, but Kenny will do anything for a rating point or two. This photo was taken by his loving and devoted wife (who was there to start his heart again with CPR if necessary) this morning at 6:55 AM.

Heard form down under!!!!
Family,
A great bige huge thanks goes to all of you from John,Emily and I. Your generousity made this trip possible for Tom to see and spend time with Matt. (and to drink a lot of beer). We got a phone call from the boys last night and the words I heard often were amazing,and unreal. Thomas did tell me he had just picked Matt up from Jail. He said Matt liked this choice better then the one ahead of him. I almost wish the story was true. Matt enjoyed the scuba diving and snorkeling and promises many under water pictures. Thomas said they visited one place where the kangaroos came up to you like friendly dogs. Surfing was a high light for both. I know you will but the rest of matt's journey is only half over as he pinted out to me last night so keep you kind words,pictures and funny stories coming.
And please know both mom and dad had a wonderful time at the party, they were both surprised and enjoyed seeing everyone. I will set a date for June ASAP.
God Keep,
Love mom,aunt m

Happy Valentine's Day!
Hope everyone is enjoying their day. They told me at Abby's daycare today (it is called "Lots of Love"--Mike calls it "Love, Weather Permitting") that Abby had a Valentine. This news came less than an hour after I told her that her father was to be her only Valentine until she turned 25. The boy's name is Colby and he was wearing a shirt today that said "Little Flirt." I am a little worried about all of this! I guess I should expect something like this from a place called "Lots of Love"!

wow,wow,woow
Dear family,
This past weekend I took 2 friends to see Emily in Maine.
We yes me went cross county skiing and snow shoeing and had a fantastic time.
We saw so much snow and traveled many miles on skies. I did fall but only once.We also conquered a hill that the workers had told us not to go near because they could not get down "Holstein Hill" without falling.Emily made us go anyway. I did scream most of the way but i did it with my daughter encourging me all the way. We walked for about an hour and a half with snow falling all around us.On the next day we went snow shoeing in 50 mile an hour winds and 12 below zero weather. It was totally terrifc. We stayed in the woods away from the wind. Without our snowshoes you would go down 4 feet in the snow. The drifts on the side of the road were 6-8 feet high.
We came back safe and sound. I would encorage all to go. Emily is also an excellent cook!

B party for the grandparents
Hello family,
Just a note to let everyone know the party is still on for Saturday 2-16-2008. To my knowledge the grandparents still do not know about the party in thier honor. I have told them to keep this day open. They think they are meeting Sharon's family in Easton and I will be driving them. John and I as the gift to them will supply the main dishes,ham chili, and chicken and we are counting on some delightfull side dishes from the rest of the crew. To those of you who can not make the trip give the party a call. I promise to keep my cell phone on my hip to answer it at all times!! I hope the weather is good but the party is on rain or shine. All looks good for Matt and Tom we do have a very generous and thoughtful family!!! Thankyou! Uncle Mike has remained in contact with mom and dad and seems to be holding his own. Uncle Bobby did make his first and long awaited visit to the eastern shore in quite some time- and helped rearrange mom and dads bedroom, he was able to find his way back home!! Uncle Terry (brother terry) and aunt carol made it down and took them out to lunch. I understand they will be looking for a new planter and bush that was taken right off their front porch. It was not me! And Uncle Tim (brother Tim) and Aunt Paula made it down to surprise them at breakfast Sunday morning.
Mom and dad do enjoy the visits and so do I so come one and all!!!!
God Keep
