Hi All,                                         

April and I have not kept up a page in quite some time.  Our older page is here.  We wanted to try to keep everyone up-to-date as much as possible with the goings on here in Ohio.  Karen is doing a great job with the site in Nebraska so we wanted some of the limelight also :>D.

The kids keep us busy day and night... literally day and night.  We aint youngsters anymore.  When the now 9 and 10 year olds are demanding attention and school needs them at the bus stop at O-dark thirty in the morning, Mom and Dad are barely conscious as the college student came in at 3:00 a.m. after leaving work or 'gaming' with her friends.  I love arriving at work in the morning, because I know I will be getting rest at last!  I go in on Monday morning skipping and singing and drive everyone at work nuts!  Imagine that.

April and I keep pretty busy with four kids to keep track of...

The oldest (Benjamin) is in basic training as of Oct. 2003 and will be out and about somewhere with the Air Force soon.  His permanent station 'To be announced' We are extremely proud of Ben.

Amanda (2nd in age order) is attending Sinclaire Community College in Dayton as a business major for now.  Still not sure on the final major/minor.  Amanda's got great ideas and we're very proud of her in many ways and for choosing higher education!

Joseph (3rd) is our most demanding and brightest!  He is also at an age where the older two occasionally avoid him at all cost!  You know the kinds of things that are 'cool' at age 10 :>D.  We love him to death though and want to keep encouraging him as he is really short like I (Paul) was.  He loves being in the Weblos and enjoys all the scouting events.

Krista (4th) is a fantastic little girl with lots of big ideas.  She is just full of joy and just has a great time all the time.  She loves being in the Brownie Girl Scouts and sells lots of products around the neighborhood and the country (thanks everyone).  Krista really loves being at school and with her friends, but mostly likes the outdoors
