What a weekend!

I posted a really long post on the Sellers Blogg. I wanted to copy it here as well but it wont let me? please visit the Sellers Family blog to see what happend to us this weekend...It was a doozy!

Love you all,
Joshua, Sherry & Savanah Carter (officially)

Hi everyone. It was good to see some of you last week. I don't have my own blog account yet so mom is letting me use hers. This summer has been fun and busy. So busy, in fact, I haven't had time to do everything I've wanted to do like take more swimming lessons. Last year I started on the pre-swim team, but stopped because of my rehearsal schedule for some plays I was in. With hope I'll be able to get on the pre-swim team again. Since I am going to be homeschool for most of the day (I'm going to take two classes at school), I can add swimming as a p.e. class next year. Mom said she would take me to Salt Lake and get an agent in the fall. I am thinking of using this picture as one of my portfolio pictures. What do you think? I also have to have some black and white pictures. Dad is home from the hospital now, but he has to stay on oxygen until the lung infection goes away. Sherry and Josh, I wish I could be there for you when you finalize the adoption. Definitely going to be a good day to remember! Mom said we won't be able attend Savannah's bessing now either because of medical bills. Sorry!!!
My love to all,
Andrea

Family Snake River Rafting and Camping Trip

We had fun this weekend rafting down the Snake River (Wyoming). This trip has become one of our family traditions. The good river pictures are on film and won't be developed for a few days. I'll add them later.
Meghann's boyfriend (Richard) joined us. He's an "Ultimate Fighter." His next competition fight is in August. I think it would be interesting to watch.

Andrea had an interesting 13th birthday. It started in Wyoming taking down camp, then the long drive home, then going to a Chinese restaurant for her birthday dinner where Richard ate octopus (yuck!), and then all of us went to see Pirates of the Caribbean. (Good movie.) The birthday banner is another family tradition!
As soon as we got home Samantha learned that her friend Christine was killed in a car accident while we were gone. Christine was going to go to Germany with Samantha. Needlesstosay Sam is very distraught.
Hey Donna, while we were at the movie I spoke with an old acquaintance who is the HR manager of the University Credit Union. She told me there are currently two full time positions open. Bring your resume when you come up for Elliot's blessing! (hint, hint)
My love to all.

HRH has spoken

Well here I am. This is way cool. Thanks Becca for showing Beverly how to do this. Hey Sherry want a noogie?

Germany here I come!!

Ja Deutschland! Ich bin fertig! 5 1/2 weeks until I leave. I'd like to say I'm excited but I'm more nervous. I hope ya'll use this while I'm gone. Just because I'm not going to be here to annoy you in person doesn't mean I can't annoy you over the net. HA HA HA HEE HEE!! Oh that's awesome! Anyway, lets keep in touch because i love you all.

Update on Germany status: I know I'm going, but I have no idea where I'm being sent. That's the tricky part -- Where I'm going to live, who I'm going to live with, Where I'll be going to school, If I'll have host siblings... As you can see I've thought about it for awhile now. I guess I'll let you know when I know. Bis Spaeter!

Here are some fun pictures!

Hello There ;o)

Here is a recent picutre of Savannah(06-10-06)...I can't believe how big children get, so fast...

Anyway, I really like using the family bloggs. I didn't like it at first, but I grew to like it. I find myself checking the blogg at least once a day ;o)

Thanks for the invite, can't wait to see what everyone is up too...

All Grow'd Up

It was time for a new picture of the children. It has been two years since the last one of all of them was taken.

the computer doesn't bite afterall!

For months I have been dreading even the mention of "blog." Ignorance is not bliss. But thanks to the help I received from Rabecca, I am well on my way to eliminating my "blog" fears. My original intent in creating this blog was for people to keep in touch with Samantha while she's in Germany for the year. I hope you all use it often so Sam doesn't get homesick!
