Sleiman Family News Goes Digital

Every year, the Sleiman family sends news of their year in review to hundreds dozens of excited readers. This year, the news has exploded -- and most of the impact hit the Internet.

The Sleiman family newsletter has gone digital.

Inside, you'll enjoy articles covering topics loved by readers: the skinny on what the third child's name is, the career news from grand-poobah Youssef Sleiman and an incisive column from wife Lynné Sleiman titled, "The Dirt on Germophobia."

See what these readers already had to say about Issue 8.

It's changed my life. After reading this, I couldn't stop thinking about how it applied to me, how it changed who I was in my core. Literally, I'll never be the same. Anonymous

What can I say? I didn't know half that stuff was going on. I mean, yeah, I'm friends on Facebook, but it's not like I check their profiles all the time or anything. That's just weird. Former Facebook Friend

I started digesting my printed copy as soon as I could get my hands on it. I just couldn't stop drooling over the news. It's the best newsletter I've ever seen in my life. Natalie Grace Sleiman, 8 months old

The fun (but too long) Hike :)

We went to the "Bowl and Pitcher" for a hike (this picture was actually near the end of the hike and was very welcome to see at that point because there was only 1/2 mile left! *legs groaning*

Walking on the bridge (bridges are so spiffy)

We fed some crackers to the duck but because he was so far bellow us that Youssef had to pretend that the cheezits were ninja stars. ;)

This is actually at the point where we should have turnd back but didn't know it so we hiked an extra 2 miles or so that we'd wished we hadn't done. ;)

Lily is trying to put a pinecone down her shirt. She had some better success with little rocks but the pine cone didn't work as well. ;) She also learned to say "Rock" really well, and kept saying it over and over and over and over and over and over........ while holding a rock in each hand. ;)

The high point of the hike was probably the lowest in elevation. ;) The kids (and Forrest) waded in the water a bit and we all had snacks!

Lily liked watching the river...

Such cute little girls!! It reminds me of when Rebekah and I were little and met each other.

The Tuckers are on the bridge there getting closer and closer to their comfortable car. :)

The end.
