His two year old had announced, "hair wet...Phoebe hair wet." She stuck her head in the toilet water. It made me think of you. =) I shared this story with a friend, Who’s facebook status was: “If you hear silence in your home, and you know that your toddler is awake, then one should not breathe a sigh of relief, but should allow the embers of suspicion to be fanned into roaring flames of grave concern.” His two year old had announced, “hair wet…Phoebe hair wet.” She stuck her head in the toilet water.

We live a 15 hour drive from my parents, and a 10 hour drive from Jesse's. Needless to say we don't see our families very often either. I have the same question....is this how it is really meant to be?? Somehow I don't think so. I don't know if it is natural to be so cut off from family. I always say I would make a really good Hudderite or Amish person because I love the idea of communal living. Obviousel they have ideas I don't agree with, but the way they live together and work/play as a large family is VERY appealing. I feel the seperation from family acutely and I REALLY miss the every day living near them. So anyway, wanted to let you know I know EXACTLY how you are feeling, and feel the same way. Making friends is tough for me too - takes me a long time to feel like I have a good friend. And, I don't know if you feel the same way or not, but as good as friends can be, I still always like being with my family just that much more. :) Well, good luck with it all!!! Hey Kari,

Cant wait for him to come and "torment" our cats. Poor Fake Jack. Why "Fake"? Where do you think your "cookies" went? If you have lost them I may want to come and look for them. I love cookies. Mom and Dad What a happy child.

Hayden is a very handsom boy and we miss getting together with you and Helmut. Are you going to be coming to Florida any time soon? Sharon and Larry, Ashley and Keith and Brad and Matthew and I say hi and we miss you guys.

They have a 3 or 4 month old and haven't vaccinated her yet, and are trying to learn all they can about it before they decide whether or not to say for sure yes or for sure no. I don't really know much about it either, and at the time, don't need to, but I've thought about it for when we have kids. I don't know what I'd want to do. Thanks for posting. I check your website often. :) Were you able to check out our blog? Are you using a program for your website or using html scripts? If a program, which one, and do you like it? Love, Rach Hey Kari,
