Friday Fun

We enjoyed a really beautiful, calm fishing night together.
Valerie caught our first fish, and the LARGEST!
When measured, it was 30" long!
Her personal best!


Good job Valerie!
Elizabeth helped her Daddy bring in 2 fish!

Our night's catch


On a completely different note...
Here are my Hollyhocks in the second story window!

Wow Val!!!!! That fish was HUGE! It is so cool that you ended up with a family of fishermen. I love you!

I thought all the hollyhocks blew over in the windstorm! Glad to see one survived. And yes, nice fish, Valerie!!!!!!!!

The Hollyhocks did blow over in one spot...however we tied them back up since they didn't break off at the bottom. They are doing really well!

Yay! I'm glad to see that your hollyhocks are survivors. :) Isaac went fishing for a fishing derby through Lawrence's work, and LOVED it!!! Lawrence think he probably caught ten small ones, it was in a really well-stocked pond. They had a great time, and Isaac won't stop talking about it. We may have to become a fisher-family also! :)

Ok, you'll have to pass onto the girls that Liana was looking at the beautiful school pictures that you sent and calling them by name! It sounds like "Elbeth and Vaby" or something, but she definitely recognizes them! It was funny!

I was wondering if you know of any websites on the HPV virus and vaccine..I am currently researching it because Alexis is going inot jr.high and they offer it there..The only info I can find says that hpv is a std that comes from genetial warts..All the research I have found indicates that hpv is only contracted through sexual contact with a person who has also been infected with hpv..Becca said that you found info totally different..That we all carry hpv and if we were all vaccinated it would stop the virus from spreading..If you wouldn't mind giving me some of the info you have it would be greatly appreciated..I am trying to make the best choice for her..Thank you Vanessa
