town.

Lori is still enjoying her job at the grade school. She is
working on the school web page and lessons to assist the
teachers. There is a new program at the school called
Accelerated Reader and it uses the computers and server so
she is the technical person for that.

Kira is the Vice President of the Forensics Team (Drama,
Debate & Speech team). She enjoys debating and
extemporary speech. She also does some dramatic speaking
called Prose. Next fall she will become the President
automatically. We're so proud, our daughter last spring
recieved an atheletic letter (of course it was in debate)
and she is a member of the NFL (National Forensics League)
any parent would be proud. She and her friends are also
working for Habitat for Humanity. She now has her drivers
licence and for Christmas she got a Cell Phone. What
happened to Care Bear Videos and playing restraunt with her
friends?

March was a tough month at the Poe house. On the 20th of
March Devin fell about 20ft out of the tree in our backyard.
He did not break anything the doctor said he is the luckiest
kid in the world. He missed 2 days of school with a
compression bruise to his struenum. He hit the ground so
hard it kind of compressed his ribs bruising the place where
they meet in front.
On the 23rd Brian went on a scout campout. Saturday they did
a bike ride. After about 2 miles Brian was going down a hill
and the brakes came unhooked and he didn't make the corner.
He ended up with a 3" tear in his mouth below his gums,
through his upper lip and across his cheek another 3". He
had surgery to repair the damage up at a hick town about an
hour out of Mesa. He and mom were both out of school for
about a week. He couldn't eat any solids for 7 days. He lost
about 10 lbs. but it came back after he could start
eating.

Our family enjoyed a trip to Oregon this Oct/Nov to see
Grandpa Wicks married in the Portland temple to Darlene
Snyder. They are as happy as can be and we are happy for
them!
It was so wonderful to see Oregon again and all the family
and friends. We had a great trip!
