May '09 update

Karen is off today to Ludwigshafen, Germany, to dance with Hubbard Street. Just a short tour--what a star!

Pray for Dayton and Anna as they batch it together!

Scott and his family are finishing up school days for this year down in Ocean

Springs, MS. He's off to a good start at the new church. Thrilled to have a secretary!

Early June it is time for "Camp Nona and Pop-pops" for all four of the Grands. This year is a nostalgic tour of "This is where your Daddys were little boys"! Yes, after we get Anna in Chicago, we're off to yummy New Orleans! Then, the whole family will meet up in Ocean Springs to beach it for a few days before it's back to Arkansas.

This summer we are not going to Germany-Austria, but next summer we will head up the German Studies Program for JBU again. This summer is write-the-book summer. Appreciate prayers you might offer for this effort. The sky is blue....and my office does not have a window.

The knee recovery is slow as it turns out; I'm in PT, but some days are just slow and painful still. Breck rides about 50--60 miles a week on his bike, so I'm restless to get going again!
