It's A Family Reunion

I can't wait until Elizabeth meets her family. Family is what life is all about. Yesterday was Father's Day and we all got together to celebrate dads. Here are some

pictures of the important dads in my family. From left to right: Picture 1- Grandma and Grandpa Hicks, Picture 2 - Phillip and Kathi (Elizabeth's soon-to-be parents), Picture 3 - Uncle Todd and Aunt Michelle, and Picture 4 - Great-Grandma and Grandpa

Purdue

I finally get to start my summer today!! I've been taking an Engineering class at Purdue all week. Thought I was in over my head but as it turns out, it was a lot of fun really. Did you know that engineering is involved in almost everything around us? If there is a problem that needs to be solved then call on an engineer to fix it! Purdue has a great program and really, really smart faculty that facilitated our every need. They welcomed all of us touchy, feely teachers and made us feel very welcome. So if any of you Purdue University Engineers from the INSPIRE program read this, you guys rock!! Nothing new on the adoption homefront. Just started reading The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. Hoping to learn a lot about Chinese culture during the long, long wait that's ahead of my family.
