Keeping up With the Hodges

Julie and Charlie are doing very well in China, happy

and excited to have begun their teaching. It looks so

interesting there! I think they are very blessed to get

this chance to explore and learn about a completely

different culture from ours. I've added the link to their

blog, for those of you interested in keeping up with the

Hodges.

New Trailer

There's a new movie trailer on the Highway Pirates site....check it out. Look for Joe's name!

More on Highway Pirates

For those of you whose interest is piqued re: Highway Pirates....

Highway Pirates

Finally! After months of waiting, and with much anticipation,

the dates for the premiere of "Highway Pirates" have been announced!

For those of you who don't know, last summer Joe was involved in the

filming of this movie. He plays a major role as "The Ice Pirate Captain".

Also, our sister and brother-in-law (Nick and Jessica Hansen) star in the film.

I've added the link to the movie's webpage to my links list if you'd

like to read more or view the movie trailer. So mark your calendars

for October 8th and 9th for this red carpet event!

School Days

School started on August 23. Duncan is in first grade

at Horace Mann School in Mrs. Lala's class. Eli moved

up to the Teddy Bear room at Cox Learning Center and

his teachers are Ms. Andrea and Ms. Joyce.

Duncan had his first soccer practice last night. We are

going to try playing at the YMCA this time. His first

game is on Saturday. He has been shooting lots of

baskets at home and at the gym so we might try

basketball after soccer.

After staying at their Papa's last weekend, Duncan

told me he had English toast and he really liked it.

"You mean an English muffin?", I asked him. "No, English

toast", he said. "Um, do you mean French toast?"

"Oh, yeah. I meant French toast."

We've had a couple of hummingbirds start hanging around

outside the kitchen window, so I put the feeder back up.

Every time he sees one, Eli says "Look! I see a honey bird!"

The last time we had a thunder storm he said he heard the

'under' and it was freaking him out.

FYI, Andy is meeting Roger Federer tonight in the quarterfinals

of the U.S. Open. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best....
