May 4th...already

Only 20 more days until we take off from Detroit for Anchorage again. We are so excited about it. We are working hard at organizing our house and stuff and trying to purge through our junk. Do we ever have a lot of it too. Wow!! Scott is scheduled to do another cross country flight tomorrow night and has been trying to plan his flight plan for it. He is very excited to see the end getting closer and achieving his long awaited for license. He and Paul have sat down and determined that this can be accomplished by the end of the summer and are determined to do so. That does mean that he will be gone a lot from home and that means the job of purging and sorting will be mostly left up to the boys and I. Yeah. :-)

We have been busy planning Shaughn's open houses. We are having one in Ohio on June 13th and one in Michigan on June 20th. He has been working very hard to finish up his classes. We have received a cap and gown from a friend for him to borrow (he looks so cool with it on)and his diploma has arrived. His class ring has been ordered (thanks to his Grandma-ma)and will be here the end of May. He is totally geeked. Here in Ohio at our church, he is getting to participate in the honoring of Graduates on May 17th and they wear their gowns and caps during the service. On Sunday, June 7th at our home church in Michigan, BCC is honoring their graduates and Shaughn will be there to participate as well. (that is the weekend we get back from AK.) He is so blessed and excited! They will be doing a slide show of their grads so I need to get Karin some photos...(I will Karin...very soon). So much fun here in the ol'Lazaros house.

The other boys are working hard as well. They are getting excited about the future and what it may be looking like. We are meeting the Ohio director for this region this Thursday night. He is coming over to share his vision for CEF in Ohio. We are excited to hear his heart.

I still have had no word on my Bible. I am very heart broken about it. Scott and my mom both have bought me a new Bible but it is not the same. I still ask for your prayers on the recovery of it.

Scott has worked, once again, on my computer and hopefully has fixed the problem. So, hopefully I am back on and can keep you better updated. :-) Isn't technology great? ha ha

I have been busy taking Shaughn's senior pictures. We have been having tons of fun doing so. Matthew has been helping us come up with different ideas for poses and such...every clear blue-sky day, we are out taking shots. On rainy days we have even sat us a back drop and lighting for inside shots. Too much fun I say. :-)

This weekend we are expecting some friends to come for a visit. We are pretty excited about it. Rick and Kim Hulbert are suppose to come and hang out with us. Yeah!

Bless you all and see you soon!
