Haley and her traveling companion Danika on their way to Vancouver, Canada.

For some reason this is a favorite picture for me. Up in the mountains...A beautiful wedding in an old, old church...Haley enjoying the moment. (circa 2000) 

Many years from now I wonder if Haley will have any memories of when she lived in the Philippines. 

Haley and her slightly older cousins. To her left are Michael Jake and Katlyn. Charlie standing behind. 

Here is a group picture with Haley. The year is 2000, Haley is six going on seven. She is now twelve going on thirteen. She was a flowergirl. Love the matching dresses! 

Blast from the past. These pictures came and were taken back in 2000. This was at Edwin and Whilma's wedding. It was at a beautiful church in the bride's hometown which was up in the mountains. This day was one of my most memorable in the Philippines. 

Annie's sister Precy... their family picture. Yman, Paul Lawrence and Gwen. 

Annie's brother Melchor and his daughter, Kimverly....We are not sure why Kimverly is so , umm, "brightly dressed"! 

Jing Jing...This is the most recent picture... It was taken April 1, 2006, her graduation day. Congratulations, Jing Jing. 

Out on the Porch...Melly, Lola, Gwen, Belen. 

More smiles...well, mostly.

Rose's son just returned from the Philippines and brought along some nice gifts from our family there. The best to me were all the photos!

A request to Phil in Texas for a special pick that fits same size Haley uses... 

Four Beautiful Picks arrived in the mail for Haley. Unfortunately only the Mahogany one survived the journey from Texas. (From left to right, Mahogany, Wenge-West Africa, Walnut, Bloodwood).
