It is incredible to read your stories. Thank you for sharing! :) It's chilly and rainy here. Nan had her track meet, dad and I are still tired from Monte Carlo Night. We just got pizza and are going to watch a movie. Nan is going to have some friends over tonight.

Many of the Field Events got cancelled, aside from LJ and SP. You picked a good one to miss, but scott says you should expect to work your tails off when you get back (you have my permission to make him dig a trench down Harney Peak).The Coopershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090428958191999878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838306873108654151.post-19374570399096212112012-04-14T17:22:53.640-05:002012-04-14T17:22:53.640-05:00Mary and everyone,

The Casey crew must be fairing a litte better than the Duffy's. You left us with enough chow that we don't need to go on the ramen diet till about Monday. I will call Dan for recipes. We all miss you very much and can't wait till you return. I know that you are in your element down there! We are getting a really nice and needed rain here. Your plants should survive. It looks to me like you are being well trained in ditch and waterline construction. Maybe your crew could come out to Lyman County and do the same? Bison need water also;)Can't wait till your return. Be safe and work hard!<br /><br />Sr., Jr., and Bridget<br /><br />P.S.

I'm sure there is alot of peace and quiet. After all your physical labor this week, I hope that you get to rest tomorrow, Sunday. The kids at South had Dakota Step Testing Wed., Thurs., and Fri. They were kind of wired by the end of each day, but we tried to keep parts of the days when they weren't testing without any homework or academics. Sheldon and I ate with Grampa Ed last night, and then Alan and Lacey came to eat later at the VFW and Grampa joined them for a visit. Today we aren't just getting pennies from heaven in the form of rain, but dollar bills I guess we'll call them. Tonight your mom and I will attend the last Black Hills Symphony Concert of the season. Keeping you all in thought and prayer as you continue to do the Lord's work for these very special people.

Your stories are very touching, you are being the hands and feet of God and touching the lives of everyone around you... Sister, Matthew and Steven loved the giant lizard story.. you can imagine if they were there they would chase him down and capture him...pretty cool about the tail! Barb, sorry you were sick.. sounds like you were in good hands though! Catherine your story brought tears to my eyes.. thanks for sharing...Jay, glad to see you still have your coloring skills! :) Keep making memories (washing your hair in a rainstorm.. I love it!)

All of you are experiencing the gift of God's presence in the beautiful people you are living with and serving...whether in play, work or during worship. While reading your blogs, I laugh, cry, smile, and hold my breath in amazement. We serve a glorious God! The pictures you all posted tonight, well, they say more than words ever could. Jay, the picture of you with your new friend...priceless! Jordan S., the eyes of the little girl you are holding...tell a story none of us have experienced.Caitlin and Catherine, the little one you are snuggling with...well, love freely given is never-ending...even when it hurts to say good-bye. The picture of all of you on the bus~the closeness you are experiencing is a gift from God, and meant for you to share with all around you! I am bursting with pride for all of you...God is good. <br />Catherine, God speaks to all of us in so many different ways. We just need to keep listening. It sounds as if you are doing that:) I love you and miss you terribly, but am so very glad you are where you obviously should be at this time. <br />Mark, am so very thankful that you are there to share this time with all of the kids, but most especially with our daughter. Also glad you haven't forgotten about the coffee! i do so enjoy my good coffee:) Please keep the messages and pictures coming. We look forward to hearing from you every day, love you Cacky and Mark!

Please know that we are praying for you each day, and we know that you are touching the lives of the Honduran people - and they are touching you. <br /><br />Brendan and Mairin had a wonderful field trip. Mairin was very proud to have her oldest brother along, and Brendan has a deep appreciation for parenthood -- and particularly the challenges of motherhood. <br /><br />Karrie, I am so happy that you are part of this special experience. The kids now how important this is, and they have been wonderful. And it is amazing what you can do with Ramen noodles . . .<br /><br />Please continue to have a wonderful experience, with each other and with the Honduran people. We are anxious to see you next week.<br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />Dan (and Dad)<br /><br /><br />Hey Mom and Caitlin! We are missing you like crazy here, and we love following the blog day by day! Mom, I think you being gone on this trip has been good for all of us kids as everything that you do is so much more noticeable now that you're not here to do it! (especially making lattes in the morning:) Caitlin, track has been different without you and we are all counting down the days til you guys come home! We love you soooo much and can't wait to see you! -Moira, Ciara, Aislinn, Mairin and DeclanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773662134923049518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838306873108654151.post-47814479245761292032012-04-13T22:21:17.402-05:002012-04-13T22:21:17.402-05:00Tonight seeing the pictures and reading the entrie...Tonight seeing the pictures and reading the entries made me realize I miss you more and more each day.
