My dear grandmother, Lois Page celebrated her 91st birthday in May. Below is a picture of grandma with my dad, his two sisters and their husbands, Ed and me.
Velocity (young adult ministry) is still going well. We went rock hounding in May and also visited a Jack Russell Terrier “farm”.
Our dear Tony is deploying for one year. We had a special prayer time for him. It looks like Tony may be in the same place as Jesse. That would be a blessing for both of them.
We were excited to have Jesse, Julie and Dawson come to the mainland for a visit. They usually give me a beautiful lei when I visit them in Hawaii. I couldn’t think of anything typically Idaho other than a potato. So I handed them each a potato at the airport.
We went together and met up with Greg at cousin Michelle’s wedding in WA state.
Dawson was in lots of pictures and got to meet his Buri great grandparents and other wonderful relatives. 
Ed also very much enjoyed wrestling with his brother Mark.
On the way back to Idaho we had a rendezvous with my mom so she could meet her first great grandchild.
We got to stop at Multnomah Falls on the way home.
We made a quick visit to see my grandma and Aunt Myrna and Uncle Drexell.
Here are 5 generations:
Ministry still goes on. Our Holly got promoted and Dawson attended her promotion ceremony.
Friday nights are also still going well. We had Hawaiian food (Hawaiian Haystacks, Kahlua Pig, and Macaroni Salad) this past Friday.
We were thrilled to eat brunch with Pastor Ron and Tanya Lager from our home church in Roseburg, Oregon. As we were finishing up, Matt Hallman (also from Roseburg) happened to walk past us.
We got a new chaplain here (Mike Carollo).His wife Shannon (and her baby, Madeline) went on a hike to the Bruneau Dunes with Julie and me.
It is so wonderful to have Jesse, Julie and Dawson here! I have probably taken hundreds of pictures of that sweet baby!
