Hi Mom,

Less than a week to go before we head to Missouri. I'm ready for some
time off and good family fun. We have Miguel lined up to take care of
Dots and the house. We'll leave Thursday night and stop somewhere in
Kansas for the night (Colby? Hayes?).  Theresa has to work all day
Tues, Weds, Thurs. So, packing will be a challenge. I think I'll work
from home on Thurs. and obviously take Friday off.

Summer is flying by already. I like the longer days and warmer temps.
We've only had to turn our A/C on a couple of days so far. Good for
outdoor swimming, biking and running. A couple of warm nights make
sleeping more difficult.

Well, we all went to see Rock of Ages musical yesterday in Denver at
the Buell Theater. Not very good :-(. We were all a little
disappointed. It just wasn't written very well. The story was
contrived and forced. The music medleys and mixes were strange. The
casting choices and character development were weird. And most of all
it was inappropriate. Oh well, Happy Mother's day. We should have
chosen Billy Elliot.



The girls have been down to Elitch Gardens Amusement Park with Shanna,
Whitney and Foster Lawless. The had a great time and I'm thankful to
Shanna for being willing to take them I don't enjoy that at all.

Both Chloe and Megan had babysitting jobs - making good money.

And of course sleep overs. Megan at Witney's and Chloe at Hailey's.

I had a team building activity with my group at work.  We went out to
lunch and saw a movie (Super 8 again).  They all enjoyed it and I
didn't mind it a second time.

I had to make a visit to the dentist. Ended up getting a temporary
partial crown. Which fell out. So, I have to go back on Monday. And
then again the end of July to have the permanent one put it. All for
$1250!

I had a great fathers day. Did the tri in the morning and did pretty
well, nap, cards/presents, watched golf, massage, steak dinner,
homemade angel food cake.  Not bad!

Wednesday was bike to work day. Thursday I did the stroke and stride,
from 6-7pm, then raced off to music practice from 7-9pm.

Theresa had her first full week of just one job at Calvary. She
trained a replacement at Sports Solution a week ago Friday and bid
them adieu. I think she is a little worn out working 3 x 8th days in a
row.

Church today. We started a new verse by verse study of 2 Corinthians.
And of course playing on the worship team. When I dropped Chloe off
for her sleep over last night in Erie I swung by the new church
property and took a few photos (they are probably on the Ceiva).

We did watch a couple of DVDs last week too. "Never Let Me Go" - a
little bit of a strange sci-fi movie with Kiera Knightly - don't
recommend. And then "Freedom Writers" with Hillary Swank - it's an
older one and really good. Also "Running The Sahara" - a documentary
about 3 guys running across the Sahara desert. It was really good and
fascinating. I think it was around 4,500 miles, done over 110 days
(equivalent to 70+ marathons). Through several countries including
Libyia.

We've also watched a bit of Wimbledon. We're not too interested in
many of the players. But it is fun to see the grass and the crowds and
London and the rain.

Well that's about it for now. See you in about a week.

Luv,

Jeff
