    Thank you for letting us know you arrived safely (not that any of the parents were concerned, of course). Katie, what a gorgeous watercolor!

    I'm jealous. I don't think there's that much green in the entire city of New York right now. Looking forward to following this blog.

    Message for Jon from Kelly - I've been getting all of your texts and have sent you many, so I will call ATT to see why their service is even more wonderful than usual... Eye is "one step closer to being out of the dangerous woods"...hopefully no pun intended. Still lucky to have an eye from the injury that I had. Keep texting me since I'm getting them. Love you!

    Message 2 for Jon - ATT said to power off the phone, remove the battery and replace and turn back on in a few minutes and you should hopefully be connected to a network with the right plan now. text me asap. Kelly

    Great watercolor! Glad to hear that the trip went well. We miss you Jake. Ethan asks every day if you will be home. He just doesn't get it. The boys are NOT behaving well. Hope you all have a great time.
