Visiting Vincent

Vince outside his dorm room. He rooms alone, and he had already sent a lot of stuff home, so it looks bare in there !!

Here is his 3rd job, working as desk monitor. The other 2 jobs are Cafeteria and music scholarship (trombone).

"HIS" corner. He owns this area. And loves it ! He's got the process down to a science. Yeah, I know its not that hard...but to do this work and LOVE it takes a hard-working dedicated awesome guy. Great work man !!!

Oh the eyes for the girls, and the girls give the eyes right back. Sitting next to Vince here is his current girl Julie. Beautiful, sweet Julie. Nice to finally meet her, after all the talking he did about her on his last homeleave.

And the boy needs food. Snacks, drinks, general munchies. He's so happy when his Tupperware is full !!!

Just Read

If only there were more hours in the day...TO READ. If only we could get stuck in the library just once...TO READ. Mom knows what our favorite thing to do is...READ. I'm raising bookworms, a bunch of bookworms! This picture was not staged, I caught them !!!

GLAA Again

This is the school that Vincent is attending for his sophomore year. Great Lakes Adventist Academy is located in Cedar Lake, Michigan and has an average of 250 (?) students in the high school grades each year.

Headed to registration early Sunday afternoon August 23rd. Vince is out front and Gabby is videotaping on the right. Francesca is close behind.

To make the 6 hour trip pass more quickly, Todd hooked up the TV/VCR combo and the kids chose some movies to watch. Marny, Dominic, Francesca, and Vince left to right.

Marny, Francesca, and Vince being silly for Gabby on the camera ! Vince will be having his first 'home-leave' on September 23rd this year. Looking forward to that ! We all miss him when he is gone, but we know that he is having good experiences and is being presented with amazing opportunities that other children don't receive. Love you Vincent !!
