Greetings from the Tahoe Filces

Mike and Cara recently went to the annual Father-Daughter Dance. Both had a wonderful time, though Mike told me Cara got teary-eyed at a sentimental song and that almost sent him over the edge. It is hard to see the kids growing up. Charlie seems to be attempting every project in The Dangerous Book for Boys book. He and Mike went and found willow branches so he could make a bow and a few arrows. He has been taking aim at a lot of things and not getting anything that moves. I think Mike is more frustrated than Charlie because the squirrel that is constantly dropping pine cones on the driveway is still alive. In the picture above, that is a chocolate mustache on Charlie; my mom was concerned he had grown a mustache already.

We are looking forward to the Kavanaughs' visit in a few weeks.

Kavanaugh Africa trip Christmas 2009

Here are some highlights from our trip to South Africa. It was truly awesome to be so close to animals in the wild and observe them doing what they naturally do.

Kavanaugh Doings

We have been enjoying visits from Marianne & Steve Earle, Mom and Dad and plenty of Kavanaughs. Ty and Erin are waiting to hear about college acceptances though Ty has most of his in the bag - USD, The Citadel and VMI so far. Erin is hoping for Georgetown or Brown. We'll know by April what everyone's choices are. Ty is planning to do a college entry to a military career. Erin wants something international and did not apply to any California schools so she's definitely heading out next year. We miss all of you who have not yet been to visit this year. There is always room at Casa de Kavanaughs!

Rock "Art" at Strand Beach in Dana Point

Here is a cool picture Erin took at sunset last week. Enjoy!

John's Alaska Photos

I followed Ian's directions and have my photos on picasaweb... no sign up required!
There are 48 photos in roughly chronological order. I was the only one to WALK ALL THE WAY to the gold rush era cemetery in Skagway, so that explains the old headstones and cool waterfall.

Hi Everyone,

If you don't already have a snapfish account, it is a free photo sharing site and easy to join so that you can view photos. We have other albums on there too so I'll post more links if anyone is interested.

We've been busy since our return. Ty and Frank are just finishing a 2 week very intensive EMT (emergency medical technician) training course. They plan to take their certification test next week. It's been an interesting experience, going on real emergency calls and being in the ER. Frank reports that Ty bested him on all the exams:)

Ty and Erin have some college visit trips coming and Bridget is very creatively postponing getting to her summer reading essays. The problem is not getting the books read, it's getting past procrastination to write the essays!

I hope you are all enjoying the rest of summer!

Love,

Suze

Wedding Reception Video

I have uploaded the video from the wedding reception and it can be found on the right side of the page under the new "Videos" section.

It plays best if you pause it and let it load for a bit, and then play it.
