Just between us...

I got your package in the mail this past week.  I always enjoy hearing from my family!



Grey, I REALLY like your fighter jet a whole lot!!  I think you did a very good painting it - it looks very fast!  Do you know the name of your airplane?



Thank you, very much, for your prayer for me, Grey.  It is very special for us to talk to God and tell him what is important to us.  Thank you for talking to him about me.  Grey, I wish you could come to Antarctica, too.  And you're RIGHT!  I would LOVE it if you could come down here with me!!  But I also hope someday you will get the chance, too.  I think you would like Antarctica very much.  Thank you for your letter, Grey.  I love you very, very much, too, and I can't wait to see you soon!  But you better watch out - I haven't tickled anybody for a long, long time and I might just have to get YOU!!!

Joleigh Button, I like your picture of Belle very much, too!  I can tell you worked very hard and I can see you worked on lots of detail!

Joleigh, you are a very sweet girl and  I am sad I am not home with you, too.  But I will be coming home soon, I promise!  And when I do, I can't wait to pick you up and hold you in my arms.  I want to you to see Antarctica, too, and, someday, I think you WILL go up into space.  Then when YOU come back home, you can tell Mommy and Daddy and Grey ALL about everything that you saw up there!  I would like to hear all of your wonderful stories, Button.

Summer, thank you for thinking of me.  I always a little uncertain of the "new" Journey without Steve Perry, but I have enjoyed this video a lot - it is really, really good!  I've watched it twice already and it has been neat to see, especially, Neal Schon play.  Wow....!!  I've enjoyed hearing some of my favorite songs of theirs again and seeing them play them.  The words to some of their new songs, and, two of our favorites... have really resonated within me.  Thank you, Precious.  I want to be with you.  With all of you.
