CLUB CHAMPION!!

This is the beautiful golf course at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. Our very own Steve Campbell plays this course every monday with the men's club - of which he is the president - a group that consists of 80 to 100 players. At the end of the summer they hold a tournament that proclaims the club champion. This very same Steve Campbell won the tournament and is officially CLUB CHAMPION!!!!
Congratulations :-) He will be in Pittsburgh for the next week for those of you who would like his autograph.

Hi all,

Kaitlyn's dance concert

Kaitlyn was the star of the show tonight at her dance concert with her bright big smile. She loves performing and it was so much fun to see her in her element! She is such the performer. We love her! Avery and Milllie came to watch too. I think Millie enjoyed the refreshments at the end more than anything!

Grandbaby #9 woohoo!!

Meet Noah Allen Phelps, born on March 23rd, 6 lbs 13 oz 20" - the pictures just do not do him justice.....of course!! He has REALLY dark hair and is going to have blue eyes. Right now Noah is invisible to Grayson, but we are sure that eventually they are going to be best buddies!!

ALOHA!!

Doug and I went to Kauai with my brother and sister in law. Seven days was definately not long enough for our first trip - so I'll recommend 10-12 days for any other first timers!
We definately saw the island and it's true that it is the most tropical - it is incredibly beautiful!
There are amazing waterfalls....
Beautiful beaches......

Look close, there are whales out there.....we saw several from the lighthouse...

Spent a wonderful evening at the luau with 2 more of my siblings and their spouses...

visited an old hawaiian village and learned about alot of customs....

listened to a LOT of roosters from sun up to sun down......

they call it a swinging bridge but it stayed pretty still IF you were on it alone!.....

discovered a very pretty stretch of uninhabited beach while on a bike ride along the coast....

the Hawaiian Grand Canyon was indescribably beautiful, rugged, picturesque, and on and on, the picture does not come close to doing it justice...

beautiful botanical gardens...

and sunrises and sunsets you didn't want to miss!

We were so fortunate to have had such a wonderful visit the week before the Japan earthquake. This island is the least modernized, which being more traditional was a really neat experience. We also realize how blessed we are to live in such favorable conditions here!

We love you all!!

Cindy and Doug

Jane's hip

Hi all,

I am pretty sure that everyone knows that Jane had hip replacement surgery. She sounds like she is doing very well, but I bet she would love to hear from everyone. She will be off from work for a few more weeks, so send her a note if you get a chance.

Zach and his friends learned how to snowboard this winter. His friend Peyton decided that skiing was way more fun, but the boys stuck to snowboarding.

Hope to hear from everyone!

Love, Kate
