| 15th October 2007 Diane | Good to hear from you - From: Allahabad, Agra and Delhi Just when I begin to worry, I get a message from you and once again marvel at all the sights that you are experiencing. I love hearing from you and seeing the photos. I know next to nothing about India but am learning from you. My friend and coteacher, Joan, has a daughter working in India. Wish we could get you together with Molly. Nick just turned 65(!!!!) and of course I held a party. Colleen and Lisa were great helps. My Chicago family is smaller than ever and soon Colleen will be moving to Milwaukee so I am enjoying every day that I can with her. Young Nick came in for a retreat and joined Nick, Jason and Ben for a golf scramble at Cog Hill on Saturday followed by a birthday party at our house. Altogether, Nick had a great birthday and felt very loved and appreciated. He even got a cake from Maddy and Lily! What an amazing adventure you are on and it seems very strange to be hearing about life in foreign lands as we take one day at a time here in Lake Forest. I miss you and send you much love. Diane |

| 21st September 2007 MOM | Namaste - From: We are in India, but these pictures are of before we got here SO SO SO glad to hear from you ...we realize that the e-mail takes forever.... if you can get to it.. but I was getting a little worried because I hadn't heard from you. Thanks for the pictures they gave us a little snapshot of the scenery. Edna and Gadi said that they did the same bus trip in India 30 years ago... but started in India and ended in Katmandu. Incredible isn't it. Erika and Charlotte are still here with us but leave for Grand Rapids tomorrow and then to Chicago and home Andre is really missing them (especially Charlotte) and is having withdrawl symptoms. We have had a great time with them and love to have Charlotte here (and Erika too) when we come home from work. Katie got a good job in Denver full-time at the Montesorri school. Dave and Courtney are settled there too (in Boulder) . We miss you and pray that you stay safe and have fun and meet lots of interesting people. We love you both more , Love Mom |

| 10th August 2007 diane | Good to hear from you - From: We are alive and pretty well It was really good to hear from you and begin to picture where you are now. That is a part of the world I know SO little about. You are getting a real education. Nick and I went to a going away party for Katie down at a bar in the city. Although we were the oldest people there by at least 30 years, I think Katie was very happy that we came! Nick is stopping here for breakfast tomorrow on his move out to Pasadena. He has two friends driving with him and they will stop in Moab, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, etc. so it will be fun, not just a boring drive. Let';s see, oh yeah, Lily is walking and running now. Grandma, Nancy and I just spent a week at Cedar Lake (awesome) and I am enjoying the last days of summer. Nick and I will go somewhere in Michigan for a weeks vacation at the end of this month. I guess that's the big news - Dan McKeever is still in the hospital and trying to recover from the last surgery. Pray for him. I love hearing form you but remember how iffy the internet cafes are around the world. We had trouble when we were in Europe last summer. As long as we know that you are happy and healthy we can relax and wish you the greatest of adventures. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE |
