Hey Tres and everyone else,

Here is how you add pictures to your blog posting. While on the page I am right now, the one where you write your message, there is a tool bar for changing the font, how you want it formatted, spell check, etc. It is a part of the fram around the window you type in. One icon on the tool bar looks like a picture of mountains and sky with some trees. Click on that icon and another window will pop up. You first click the "browse..." button to choose which file you would like to copy the picture from. Once you find the file and the picture, doubble click the picture and it's file name will show up in the formerly empty box beside the "browse..." button. If you want to add two or more pictures you then click the "Add another image" link and repeat the process of choosing a picture. do this for as many pictures you would like to add. once you have all the pictures you want to add to your blog click on the format you want (left, center or right) and choose an image size (small, medium or large). The pictures I have posted are the medium size. Once you have copletted all that click the "Upload image" icon and it will bring you back to the page where you write your message.

The pictures usually upload at the top of your message, but you can move them down by clicking and holding the mouse button down to drag it where you would like it.

As for Scott & Patsy, yes they are travelling right now but should be home late tonight or some time tomorrow. The were at the CCI Convention. Scott, Pipa, Tiago and I will be leaving again tomorrow or Wednesday to look at land possibilities for the new camp. Jack has encouraged us to and is even covering some of our expences on the trip. Once we get back on Friday night, they will be here in Gramado till they leave.

It sounds like there is just a bunch of partying going on around Kandern these days and with the World Cup staring soon the parties will just continue. Shannon would LOVE to be there to go watch a game with Markus. It is her dream to watch a World Cup game live some day. That is the big reason we wanted to come see you during the World Cup.

We are all either sick or getting over being sick at our house. Yesterday Jaden was home alone because we went to Caxias to watch the Brazilian mens Vball team play Spain. and he threw up 5 times, Jasper trew up twice on the ride to Caxias, I have had a bad cold, Jasper and Jessi both have had runny noses and Shannon is very tired and has been stuffed up for the past two weeks.

The Vball was alright, but not the best. It turned out to only be the up and coming Brazialian men playing. Spain was really bad and had no chance of winning the match. About 60% of Brazils points came from mistakes made by Spain. It was very good ball, but not as good as it could have been. Brazil didn't have to play very hard to win in 3.

Today we need to clean out the appartment across from ours so Scot & Patsy can stroe their stuff there and also so Lidi can move in there. She will sleep and study there but do everything else with us.

We look forward to seeing pictures from all of you,
Dwayne
