Alan has had several business trips through the year that have taken him away from home. Obviously there's a lot of serious work that goes on, but this is not one of those times. Here he is at a refinery in Louisiana...

...being dramatic at the Greek theatre in Siracusa, Sicily...
|
|
...and enjoying the evenings in Sicily.

Daniel (who will be 13 in January 2004) was thrilled when he finally grew taller than his mother.
|
|
He seems able to grow plants well without even trying particularly hard. That skill must have come from the grandparent generation, because it is definitely not a talent possessed by his parents.
|
|
Daniel has a nice singing voice and at a youth camp in the summer was chosen to be part of the praise team featured in the recording of a new CD by Robert Burkhart (they're sharing the microphone in this picture).
|
|
Jason was at the same youth camp and here you can see them both doing what the CD is titled: "Jumpin' in the Church House"
|
|
Here's Jason dancing again, this time in our local July 4th Independance Day parade.
|
|
Jason's science fair project won joint first place for the entire third grade in his school.
|
|
During the summer, Jason successfully auditioned for the title role in a youth theatre production of C.S. Lewis' "The Magician's Nephew". Here he is in his Victorian costume taking his curtain call.

|
We had a short trip to Galveston over the summer. How can boys resist getting muddy?

|
Shadow is an older cat who joined us in January 2003.
|
|
The two girl cats like to snuggle with Belinda, so any time she lies down, she's fair game.
|
|
Shadow, however, prefers Jason's company.
|
|
Xena, our retired Cornish Rex grand champion show cat, still has delusions of grandeur.
