    Hi Willi!

    I emailed your mom a while back and she gave me your blog address. I cannot tell you how great it is to catch up with you even though it is online.

    You have all grown and matured so much and I love hearing how the Lord is using you all.

    We’re in Georgia so I’d love to see you all sometime. I now have 4 children of my own (hard to believe) and we started homeschooling this year.

    The video of the ball was great and looks like so much fun!

    Love to you all!

    Thanks for sharing the video. I don’t think our “group” knows this dance. Now we have a guide!

    You’re welcome Zach! As you can see, you can make it a race between the 2 couples all the way down the line. :)

    Perhaps I should also mention though, that most of the dancers are doing the “circle of 4″ thing wrong in the dance…. I’d say that my parents and the Rings did it most correctly in the video.

    @Zach, you’re right- I’ve never seen that dance before.

    It looks like you guys had a wonderful time! I wish I could’ve been there!
