By the time I get home this afternoon I'm gonna be red.  I am doing a yard sale this weekend as I was last.  Hopefully by the end of today my pockets will be green even if my face and arms are red.  

     The kids are all doing well.  The bigger kids are excited to be finished with school.  This summer is lining up to be plenty action packed.  Hosanna and Beth are spending next week at speech camp.  The week after that the entire family is going to church camp.  Then we are home for a week before VBS starts and after that Gabe is going to church camp.  

     Jubilee is rolling over now very profissiantly.  She is our earliest roller yet.  I don't know why I always get the late rollers but it's nice to have somebody finally be on time with it.  She's the happiest little thing, she very rarely gets upset about anything.  Everybody loves her to pieces.

     I'm so proud of Mike for starting his own business.  I am hoping in five years we can sell our house and move where we want to because he can work from home and living near the city won't matter.  He is getting lots of extra work these days which is good because it keeps going into our gas tank.

Well Praise God!

The kids have been worried because Pockets has been missing for about a week and a half.  Mom and were beginning to think she was, umm, well dead.  We told the kids to not expect the cat to come back.  As always though we did encourage the kids to prayer for her return and safety, but we were pretty sure she was NOT coming back.

This has happened to us several times.  Once when we lived in Port Orchard, she was gone for a week, and we found out from our neighbor that she had been on the top of our van when we left the house, so after a day of searching we figured she had fallen off and had died.

The second time was in New Jersey when we lost her for 4 months while I was in Iraq and the family was living with the Pastor and his wife.  She came back the day before we moved from New Jersey to WA.

Now this is the third time.  We still are not sure where she was.  All of a sudden today she popped up out of nowhere.  I think she was trapped somewhere in the house, because Isaiah was the only one who went outside today and he didn't remember letting her in.  We are confused but praising God for a safe return of Pockets.  She is VERY skinny, but alive.

Well that is it.  I just wanted to tell everyone.  Praise God!
