The Worleys

Jenni emailed today. Sounds like they are having a good mission trip in Guatemala! I know they are working hard! They have a very nice hotel. Hope they get to do something fun, too, besides translating! Although I am sure that is very rewarding. The cat is still here. We have not lost her yet, at least not completely! It is amazing how fast Isabella can run! And how deeply she can put her claws into the carpet! She likes to sit in our lap or on our shoulder. But that does not last long. Then she disappears, like, in a flash! So, we spend a lot of time looking for her. Tonight, she was under the bed again, no, she's disappeared! Mike called for help. So our first game, look under the couch. Next game, look under the bed. Like magic, she has re-appeared under the bed! No, wait -- where has she gone? Please picture Mike and I on our bellies trying to catch this cat! Mike is still in his suit pants, I have not changed out of my uniform. We both have our arms stretched...

Here are Jenni and Rod at the airport as they prepare to head for Guatemala! They are going on a Medical Mission trip with the Prestoncrest Church of Christ. Jenni is translating, and Rod is translating pharmacy prescriptions to the folks. At least that is what I understood! They are going to be gone a week. So....we get the cat! Meet Isabella! Jenni and Rod found her running scared in the church parking lot a while back, and adopted her. She really is very pretty. However, we have 2 huge dogs, and she does not like them! She spends her time in the guest bathroom. Her food, litter box, and bed are all in there. Mike wondered why we were deemed trustworthy. It must be because Rod doesn't know about the first time we met Jenni's puppy Belle (who now has become ours). She got Belle at A&M, and brought her home for spring break (I think). She left Belle in our care and went out with her friends. Silly Jenni! Belle absolutely loved Sadie from the first, but Sadie ...

Ava just keeps getting cuter! We met Terri and Mike and their family at Fuddrucker's to go over plans for our trip to Paris. We had a lot of fun visiting. Stayed pretty late. Ava loved Jake and Alex! She was so well behaved! And this is the only picture taken the whole evening! At one point Ava met a little girl about her age, and surprisingly about her size, named Ella. She surprised us all by going up to Ella and giving her a hug and a kiss! I think Ella was the most surprised -- she backed off quickly. I have never seen Ava do that before! We all had lunch together on July 3rd, since Jenni and Rod were leaving on the 4 th for Guatemala. Ava and Jenni were looking at a picture of Jenni and Rod's cat, Isabella. Don't they look cute together? Ava and her Mommy. They always look like they are having fun together! When Ava starts pre -school this fall, it will be very quiet at their house! Ava and I were playing a game. She would try to sneak around the ch...
