Lincoln's in California

Lincoln went with other students to a field trip at the Getty Museum.  He sent me the following pictures.

CA Duncans

Here are a few photos of things we have done recently. Several are from my trip to the Merced National Wildlife Refuge with a friend from church. We saw tens of thousands of Ross's Geese plus Greater White Fronted Geese and many other birds like the avocet in one of the photos I'm including. 

There is also a photo of Caleb's first performance in the concert season with the wind ensemble.

Thank you!

When I started this Blog so many years ago my hope was that in some ways it would keep our family together no matter where we were living.  I never wanted you to not be able to know your aunts and uncles, or your cousins.  I never had that experience for your parents because of many things that kept our family apart.  Fortunately for me I was able to reconnect with my brothers and that was a great blessing in my life.  But I was into my 60s before that happened.  Each time I hear from you that you were able to spend time together or when you send me pictures of each other together, my heart is so full.  Today Lexy achieved a well deserved recognition of your effort as she earned her Masters degree.  

This evening I received this message from Meg.

"Rachel and I went to see Lexy's thesis defense today.  She was amazing!  I was super impressed by how clearly she explained all the details of her research!! She made it easy to understand!  And it was fun to see Ellis and Ava too!!  Her professors clearly liked her research and thought it was well done."

Thank you Meg and Rachel for being there to support your cousin.  It means more to me than you can even know. 💙💗💜💛💚💘

She Did It!!

 Today Lexy passed her Thesis Defense!  

Get Ready Ellis

Duncan started taking Taekwondo class and Aunt Amy sent me this video of him.  She wrote "Haven't seen him smile this big in a long time!"  

Lexy's Cat

I told Lexy her cat should be named Precious and here is an example why!  Lexy's dad came for a visit and who is sitting on his lap--the sweet misnamed Goblin!😂

Happy Birthday Bruce!
