Chris' Kids

Haugen kids

I met them. His kids by ex-wife Kathleen. They're awesome, and I really don't use that word lightly. Highly intelligent, thoughtful, polite, good-humored. How'd these kids get to be SO GOOD? Mom, genes (genies?), being away from home all summer? No doubt a combination, and Chris would have been plenty proud.

I was only able to spend 3 days with them (Aug. 7-10; length of their stay here), and had to work much of that time (imagine!). And I was sick with gastritis. Nonetheless their presence gave me joy.

They plan to come back next summer. Adam and Chirstie both want me to teach them to dive. Hope Joey joins in.
