Stranded Again

Curtis' flight finally left for Oman on Saturday. They stopped in Spain and then on to Italy. While landing in Sicily, Italy, a part on the airplane broke. They stayed there for 2 days while the plane was being fixed. They got a nice hotel on the beach while they waited. (I wish that I got stranded on the beach in Sicily!) They flew on to Oman on Monday. They are building the base so he doesn't know when he will be able call or email. I will let you know when I hear from him.

Stranded

Curtis left for Oman last Friday. He made it as far as Virginia before he got stranded. The volcano cloud over Europe stopped his flight on through. They hope to be on their way by this weekend. Until then, he has gone down to North Carolina to spend a few days with his brother and his family.

Pinewood Derby

>The Pinewood Derby was a few weeks ago. I am slow getting this on....life has been a bit busy! The boys worked with their dad on their cars. They designed them and sanded and painted. I am glad that Curtis was there to help. Car-making is not one of my specialties.

Nick came in 4th place, Jake came in 10th. They were both happy and that is what counts!

Nick's Baptism

On Easter Sunday, Nick was baptized. Curtis' parents were able to fly up and attend his baptism. It was a beautiful day, and we were happy to enjoy it with friends and family. A friend of ours made this cake for Nick. It was amazing and it was delicious. We enjoyed "feasting" on the word!
