Weekly Email

Hi Mom (and Dad, and everybody else),

It's been a few weeks since I've written.  With you here for Thanksgiving I haven't gotten back in the habit yet.

Sure was a nice visit.  It seems like such a long time ago.  Now time is quickly marching on towards Christmas.  It was great to get a head start on the decorations while you were here with the Christmas tree and lights.  Theresa has been busy this weekend with the rest.  Garland and lights up the stairs and on the mantel.  Nativity scenes, snowmen, wreaths, etc etc etc.  It looks great and really starting to feel like it 'tis the season.  We haven't had any snow down here.  Maybe 1 1/2 inches so far this winter.  The mountains are getting a lot of it - good for skiing.  But it'd be fun to have some down here too.

One more week of school for the girls.  I really feel for Chloe - she has final exams all next week (2 a day for Tue-Thu).  She has been studying hard for the past couple of weeks.  But it's HARD!  I helped her with some world history and math a little and I can hardly answer the questions myself (Google and Wikipedia are your friend!).

Megan has been working hard on school too.  And she's been practicing for the lead audition in the school musical (Annie Jr.).  She has to sing "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow".  She went and had a vocal lesson from Aaron Britton (worship pastor at church) and has a another one next Wednesday.  Then I think the try outs are on Thursday.  She also had a big part in the play for her drama class.  It was an excellent production.

Seems like we are always on the go.  With Theresa working on Monday's at the church and Tues/Thurs at Sport Solution it makes for a busy week.  At least W2W has ended for the year so she has some time on Weds & Fri now.  Tomorrow is my last BSF for the year - so that will be a nice break too.  We have a couple of Christmas parties to go to next Sunday and Monday.

We got your Christmas cards for each of the family yesterday.  I assume they are to wait until Christmas.  Thanks!

We've watched a couple of movies from Netflix the last couple of days.  An Education (coming of age movie w/Carey Mulligan in 1969s England) and The Miracle Match (USA soccer team in 1950 - beat England 1-0).  Both were okay.  We have either Twilight: Eclipse or Eat, Pray, Love for tonight.  I also rented The New Karate Kid for me to watch sometime (I can't get the girls interested in it :-).

Not much of a game for the Army Navy game :-(  I guess they scored a couple of touchdown's - that's a first for a long time.  But I think it's going on 9 years now since Army one.  We watched the Heisman award - no question Cam Newton was winning that.  Missouri basketball is still going good.  But they sure cut it close sometimes.  Terrible loss to Georgetown - they had that game won and threw it away.  3pt. overtime win against Vanderbilt.  Insight Bowl against Iowa for the football team.

We had a fun team building event at work on Friday.  Rib House for lunch and then to Indoor Archery for the afternoon.  It was great.

Well that's all I know for now.  Have a great week.

Luv u,

Jeff
