2009: Well looks like we missed our 25th reunion, how sad. I hope we can pull it together for our 30th! For now, here is my update:

Jason is now 22 and has returned to the Cleveland Institute of Art to finish up his degree. He was in a major car accident on January 23, 2008 and was nearly killed. After months of rehabilitation in Florida we were all able to fly back to Ohio to finish with his recovery process. He returned to college the following year and plans on graduating in 2010. Sarah also returned to Ohio after the car accident. She transferred to the College of Wooster where she is now a sophomore and enjoying the COW. Kevin is graduating from high school this year and will be joining his sister at the College of Wooster.

Our family has also gone dog crazy. Jason lives in a house near campus and owns two miniature dachshunds. We purchased a house for Sarah to live in while studying in Wooster and she owns two toy poodles and her live-in boyfriend owns a pit bull mix. Kevin owns a Shiba Inu which he will be taking to college with him next year. John and I have two of our own dogs, a miniature dachshund and a finnish spitz. Most are rescue dogs and they bring us much joy.

Other than that life is good. All of my children are alive and doing well and I couldn't ask for more. I hope to see you all soon.
