Johnny rocks the Championships

 BJ sent the following note to let us all know how well Johnny did this year.

Hi Sheila,

Here is a little news from the Midwest. My son Johnny, Junior at Brother Rice High School, finished as the State runner up in Division 1 Tennis at #4 Singles. He finished his Junior season with a 29 – 2 overall record. We are all very proud of his excellent season. BJ

You rock Johnny, keep up the good work!

Aunt Rose info

Celeste (for the Cali sibs, she is dads first cousin) asked to spread the news, so everyone would have Aunt Rose's new address, so for those of you who don't have it yet:


I am hoping that you could put your 'town crier' hat on and send out my Mom's new address to the Hoban clan. Finally, she moved into and assisted living apartment in Plymouth last week. It's a nice place, people are nice, food is quite good. Important pieces to the move. She is still getting used to all the changes, but it takes time. I'm sure she would enjoy hearing from some of the family. She also has a new cell phone and is slowly getting used to that as well.

I appreciate your help very much.
Hope all's well with the family,

Celeste

Here it is:

Rose Dykas (Mrs. E.J.)

Loves Dirt!

Jenna playing in the dirt, this was a pile of soft dirt from a gopher on the edge of our patio. Keeps her happy, and in one spot. And a great Wisda shot.

Cousins, Cousins you can never have enough cousins!

Cousins, and they are so cute. The Eakle's spent some time in the city visiting with Dan & Judith, so here's a couple of shots of them together. It might be a while before they see Benjamin again.
