Our Sundays in Hobe Sound usually mean Sunday dinner with the Hobbs Clan at one of their homes. This year we had a garden dinner at Dan and Julie Boyer's. It was hard to imagine the winter we left behind that day!!

Sunday Dinner with the Hobbs Clan
Joe Negron for Florida Attorney General
For the past several years during our Florida trip, Sandy and Joe Horton have had us over for supper, along with some of our parents old friends. Usually Joe Negron is in Tallahassee, where he is a FL state Rep., but his family comes. This year Joe, who is running in the Republican Primary for Attorney General in the State of Florida, was able to make it too. (Check out his website www.joenegron.com). You should hear all the laughter as they all reminisce and tell the funniest stories of things in the past. We learned that our dad was not always the angel that he appears to be now!
Emily with Becca Negron. They have been pen pals for awhile now.
Early Morning Trampoline Fun...
It has been a tradition that after a sleepover with the Budensiek girls, all five of us would wrap up in our sheets and bounce on their trampoline. And bounce we did - until we all fell over... Whether it was from tripping over each other or from sheer exhaustion, but we all had a blast!

Island Tea
We girls had a tea party on a beautiful island with our good friends Tiffany and Crystal Budensiek. Our mothers were great servers, and we appreciate all they did to make it possible! We had an absolutely fantastic time! It was also a great place to get pictures - we weren't the only ones getting pictures that day though....... One person went by in a boat and thought we were such an unusual spectical that they had to take a shot!
Visiting our Grandparents at their Florida Home
We had a great time visiting our grandpa and grandma Canfield at their Florida home. (in the photos) It's a tradition for us to go with our Grandpa to a lovely park and spend the morning there. It's a great place to walk, play, and just goof off!
Twins' 15th Birthday
We got to spend our 15th birthday (March 21st)
in Florida this year. Though the 1st half of the
day was spent on the road, (which wasn't our
idea of birthday fun) the rest of the day was great!

Monday - Piano Lesson Day
I got this snapshot today during our piano lesson, of Evangeline
playing a Ravel concerto with Rober Auler (our teacher) at the
Sate University of New York.
Canfield Detective Agency's March Meeting
This month we were very privileged to have a special guest speaker come and give a presentation on latent fingerprinting and lifting. Chief Mark A. Spawn from the Fulton Police Department gave a demonstration on the different fingerprint powders available, which ones to use on certain surfaces, and the correct way to lift the developed prints.Chief Spawn is a nationally recognized expert witness in fingerprint identification, has written an article on developing fingerprints affected by fire, and was chosen national Officer of the Month for June 2002 by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.Here, shown above, Chief Spawn is placing a developed print on the back of a fingerprint card. He explained that at least 12 points in a print is needed for an identification.During and after the demonstration, Chief Spawn very graciously answered our numerous questions. We discussed poroskopy, how he became interested in fingerprinting, and many other things.At the close of the meeting, we presented Chief Mark Spawn with a certificate of appreciation from the Canfield Detective Agency.

Friends
We have had lots and lots of company this winter, which we always enjoy! Our parents have taught us alot about the value of friendships. Daddy had a couple of his old friends come to visit. He was in Jim Hobbs' wedding over 22 years ago. Jim likes to argue with Daddy just like he did back when they were young. We like to debate him too and he says that we are just like daddy.
Jeff Klem visited with his wife and youngest daughter, who was our age. Daddy hadn't seen him since college graduation way back in the 70's
, and we enjoyed hearing stories of their college escapades!!!!!!

Special post for Dan Canfield.....
Hello Dan!
It was such a delight and surprise to hear from you! Would love to contact you via e-mail and see some pictures! (Our e-mail address is: djcanfield@afo.net) It's amazing that we shared the same name, love of music and Christ, and never knew each other existed! And to think you have 3 daughters, too! This is a small, small world!
God bless,
the other Canfields

Hostetter Christmas/Birthday Party
This weekend our family went down to PA for our uncle's 50th birthday party/reunion. It was held at a HUGE, 3-story hunting lodge on the very top of a mountian! You could overlook the surrounding valley and the mountians beyond. What a sight! You can see in the pictures how high and steep it was! It also made a great backdrop for pictures!
Photos: Elizabeth and Evangeline on a rock at the edge of the mountian.
A certian one of the twins don't seem to have a fear of heights - and look what it got her! The camera caught her just as she toppled off - or did she?
More pictures comming later......
December 25th
This year our Grandparents came up from Pennsylvania and spent Christmas with us......... We all had splendid time together and ejoyed it very much! We continued the tradition of we girls camping out under the dinning room table Christmas Eve, and on Christmas, having a good ol' fashioned wrestling match with our dad!
Photos: Christmas evening we went over the our friends house, (who also happen to be our neighbors) and spent the time singing around their dinning room table. It made for some wonderful memories!
Investigator Evangeline is seen hard
at work with the fingerprint powder
she got for Christmas. She collected
many prints that day!
For Sunday morning Church Elizabeth

Know?" was being sung.
