Once again, my kids are giving me opportunity to be proud!
Sarah entered two photos in the Benton County Fair, 4H photo contest, and won champion for both. (I will attempt to attach the photos at a later date). Thank you also to the Make a Wish organization that gave her so much of her camera equipment while she was going through her treatments (two and half) years ago. Sarah has also photographed a number of weddings, as either an assistant or the primary photographer.
Robert played on a Junior Baseball Organization (JBO) team this Summer. The team took second place in their division, then went on to take third place in the State tournament. See related link below.

Robert plays shortstop, third base, and pitcher. And, carrying on a Hazleton tradition started by my brothers, he even plays catcher now and then.
Speaking of brothers, I also am very proud of my oldest brother, Bob. He recently published his first book, Dads Matter. For Bob, working with "troubled" teens has been his passion for many years. I am very excited he is able to present his experiences and beliefs to a broader audience.
To learn more about the book, you can go to his website, and the book is available on Amazon.com. http://www.bobhazleton.com

It is so good to hear that everyone is doing well.
Today, Aug 7th is my son's 7th birthday and along with remembering the birth, I will forever cherish those hours with Jeanne. Her humor and her wit was exactly what I needed on this day seven years ago. The birth plan she wrote for me in her own handwriting will be shared forever with my son. She is forver a part of my family.
