We Need You Here Elizabeth! You're Missing All The Fun!

Elizabeth,

Summer is coming to an end, and school begins in just a couple of weeks. I wanted you to see all the fun things you'll be doing with your family when you come home to us! We've done a lot since spring break. We've gone to Gulf Shores, Alabama, hiked Indianapolis, and have gone canoeing down Sugar Creek and walked the trails at Turkey Run State Park. Soon you'll be in these pictures with us!

Shakespeare: A Mid-Summer Night's Dream

Alex has been participating in Shakespeare's A Mid-Summer Night's Dream at the Putnam County Playhouse. It has been so exciting watching him play a woodland fairy. Here is the headshot they did of him for their website. He loves doing the plays at the playhouse in the summer. I'm sure he'll be involved every year. He currently wants to be a dermatologist when he grows up. He will be traveling to China with us to get Elizabeth. He is soooo excited to meet her. Alex Asbell...you ROCK!

Oh Canada!

Phillip, his dad, brother Patrick, and Jeff Elkins recently spent two weeks at Red Lake, Ontario fishing for Northern Pike and Walleye through Viking Outposts. They flew in 100 miles to their destination. Phillip caught a 36 inch Northern that weighed 15 pounds. They made lots of good memories and got to spend good, quality time together.
