I absolutely love this video just so much fun and the music again is awesome. Everyone looks just beautiful and it looks so good that I am coming for dinner as soon as I can get a flight out. JK -sigh! Have a great show and we can't wait to see those videos too! Not much going on today here at the home front. Probably take the camper out to get it ready for our camping trip in a week and a half. Hard to believe. Enjoy everything.
Love
Mom

HI Doll! I miss you sooooo much!! Read a couple of the blogs! Love Darin's diaries! You are all so busy, and getting so much accomplished. How will they all make it without you? I assume you'll be going back next year? :) (You have to atleast graduate high school before you can move to Africa!) LOL
It's saturday and we are still in VT. Katie and Ryan had their usual joint birthday party down at Kathleen's on the river. Unfortunately, there was an accident today. Katie and John (uncle Eddie's daughter) were coming out of Nan Lyn's driveway and got hit head on by a car. Katie went up and over John and the handlebars and landed on the lady's windshield. Just like int he movies! She got up and walked away. very sore and has a headache so off to the hospital just to make sure she is all set. Quad is a mess, but thank God, Katie and John are ok. One more ride tonight before we leave tomorrow. Rick leaves for Ft. Hood on Monday a.m. so we are trying to get in as much "playing" as possible. OH!! GUESS WHAT???? I have figured out the "broom game"!! life is good!
Only 6 more days until I hear your sweet voice... I miss it so much. I would give my left leg for you to call me "Mumma" right now. I hope you are well and you are not sick. Sorry for the long message. Take care, I'll write again tomorrow.
Love you, mean it!

Hey Patrice!

How's it going? I'm doing well. As you may have read, I just won the PGA in Florida, even with a bum ankle. But an ankle injury isn't even HALF as bad as losing all your luggage on a trans-continental flight! My buddy Bagger Vance can tell you all about that!

Anyways, it was nice talkin' to you, because you're grrrrrreat!

Love

Tiger

PS My friend say you have to see The Dark Night when you get back. I bet it's darker at night where you are, though, so I'm not sure what he's talking about.

COURTNEY!!!! WOW!!!!!! That's all I can say.... It sounds like you are both blessing and being blessed - could there be any greater experience?? Those kids are so precious - they are touching my heart all the way back here - I can't imagine how you are feeling!! We miss you horribly.... The girls send their love. We had a work day today.... One more board in the master to go then I can stain... Worked on the study (angle cuts and around the door - I wish you could see!!!!) - maybe another 2-3 days to finish that up if I can keep the pace.... Blake was a TINY bit more helpful :) He still thinks I am ruining his life by talking about Tech... He has all his friends thinking up reasons why he shouldn't go - the most popular is "the high school experience" - what does that mean anyway???!!! He did get in though (if I forgot to mention that :) Got his official phone call Thurs night and packet in the mail today.... Please keep praying!! We went bowling tonight for a break. Found out the lanes in Rural Hall are actually very affordable (exciting!!) - the girls had a blast - they had their own lane with little bumpers - Blake and I played on the "grownup" lanes - it was a fun change :) Trying to map out the rest of the summer....Anyway, have to go give the kids their medicine - Love you BUNCHES AND BUNCHES!!!

Love and Blessings to you all

Mom

Wow! Great video!
What in the world are you guys doing with curling irons and makeup in Namibia? :)

Richard, it was great to see a clip of you sharing. Wish I could hear what you had to say.

The kids can really dance! Pearl, I'm proud of all the work you are doing. Dancers, thanks for your willingness to go be an encouragement!

Jesse, I've got a lot of surprises for you when you get home! Just wait, your dad called one of them crazy! he he he. I've been spending lots of time with both families and everyone is doing well. Your nana got here last night. Tomorrow is an all day Andreasen family day! Michael is back from his trip and has tons of pics to share, over 3,000 in fact. I can;t wait to see you and hear about your trip. I love you more than words can say. MWA!

Hi Mandy,
You look so beautiful honey. I'm so glad that you and the rest of the girls had some pampering while away. Erica is glowing just like you, I think she might be getting the Namibia bug! The men all looked handsome in their bow ties, and a serenade too. Now all us ladies back home will expect some singing from the men in our lives.
Carey start practicing, you have 4 days left till Jan gets home :O)
4 days left, I can't wait. I still don't know where I am picking you up from, yikes. I used to sleep with such information under my pillow. Don't worry, I'm still not used to you being gone. I miss you like crazy and love you without end.
Love,
Mommy in Mont Vernon

Hi Melissa, this is your Kiki!
I've just realized that none of my comments have been going through! Not sure what I've been doing wrong, going to get it right this time. You know your Kiki isn't the brightest bulb on the tree! :)
I've been keeping track of you on your trip and thinking about you constantly. Sounds like an amazing time and you all are doing great work! The videos and pix are fantastic! I love the one of you and your friends walking along the train tracks. What I really want to know is if you ate the antelope? :)
I can't wait to see you when you return... after the jet lag wears off that is.
I love you big Smudgie!

Kerry,
It was great to see you in action on the video. Props to the creator for putting it together so quickly. Anyway, they double-scheduled my shift at work today so I'm going to go play golf instead, :-). Tomorrow I leave for ABQ to see the family and play some more golf. Can't wait to see you again, miss you much.

Hi Mandy, Hi SJ (in Boston),
"S" you need a blog that mom can write on too. Well to both of my children who are not at home right now, I miss you both so much. I can't wait for the near future when all of my kids are under the same roof again, even if it is only for a little while, those are the days I live for. Andrew just said was-up (don't know how to spell that, but I feel kind of cool right now :O)) and he loves you.
Loving and missing you both without end,
Love Mommy in Mont Vernon

This is a note to another Mommy, Erica,
Your children are going to be so happy when you get home, I bet you can't wait to hug and hold them. When you get back we all have to have a girls night out. I'm sure the children in Namibia are enjoying your mommy hugs too.
Love,
Melissa

To Pam,
We are in the same boat, of course your boat is across the world from me right now. But our boats are the same in that our children for the most part have bailed out and doing their own thing. Who would of thought when we met at Souhegan Congregational that time would of gone by so fast. From Mont Vernon to Africa, I will see you upon your return.
Love,
Melissa

hola stephanie!
I see you have put together another video and I was able to see your smiling face. But- I am a bit sad that I have to go back to work tomorrow without you. It will be me and the boys again. I hope they didn't miss me too much- and I will have to inform you of the crazy things they did to my desk while i was gone. Now on the most important part of my post: COME BACK HOME NOW! there, I feel much better. Only one more week left...my life is sad without you in it every day. I'm glad I had chris to fill some of that void for the past week. Sorry if these posts are boring you about my days but I have nothing really to talk about...my life is boringggg. And on that note, I should leave and not bore the rest of the people reading this around a campfire or something. I say hello to all of you too and thanks to listening to me ramble!

Patrice,

Another coooool video. You are still a big hammmy aren't you? I believe the very fist video from Africa had you just walking past the camera again, staring into it, ever so briefly.... a true cameo. Was this a replay from when Michael was filming, and refilming, and refilming, and refliming.......... the different ending to Romeo & Juliet?

Excitement at the hacienda this morning. A loud rumble, like thunder, hit at 9:30 AM. But it was sunny out? One of the large trees out front (apparently diseased) decided that it would let mother nature take it (it was a bit windy). It came crashing down on the front lawn, all 40 feet of it !! Fell away!! from the house. Took us all day to clean it up but now we have a trailer of fire wood for someone..... and very sore backs!!


Love Mom & Dad

PS: What is the password for the "authorized payer," at the BC Website?
