Hi Mom and Dad,

Whew it's Sunday night another whirlwind week is coming to an end in time to start another one.

We have a greatbtime at the Lazy Dog Saloon watching the finale of Extreme Expedition. Both No Limits and the Gypsies were there. They managed to keep the winner a surprise. When the Gypsies forgot a back pack and when the Moroccan lock box was one of the puzzles I thought No Limits might surprise everybody and win. The place was packed and there was lots of cheering throughout the whole show. They did about 1hr of introduction stuff before the show started. The whole night was a fundraiser for Erik's charity.

Saturday morning we went over to set up for Celebration Sunday. We put up 1,000 chairs in the big top out on the lawn.  Then we came home and rested :-)

It was a fun day today. Both Erie and Boulder campuses worshipped together at 10am. Then hamburgers, hot dogs, sides, deserts afterwards. Theresa is sure glad to have that behind her.

I came home to mow the lawn. And took care of other chores today too - pay bills, change light bulbs, straighten out my office, do Desra's weekly plan, walk the dog, pack my gym bags for tomorrow, Intrado time sheets/reports/spreadsheets. Always something to do.

And now we are ready for bed at 8:30pm :-)

How was your Dr's appointment?  Did they figure anything out?  My ribs are still sore but I thunk finally turning the corner. I'm going to try to swim tomorrow.

luv u,

Jeff

Hi Mom,

Last weekend of freedom before school starts :-(  Megan actually went to school on Friday for Web Leader training - and then she goes on Monday to help with the 6th grader orientation.  First official day of school for both girls is Tuesday.  Here we go!

I'm still recovering from my ribs.  I've been taking it easy most of the week.  I give the last Stroke&Stride a try on Thursday night and then the Intrado 5K Fun Run was on Friday.  Other than that I'm just resting.  I'm still pretty uncomfortable sleeping.

We've watched a few movies recently.  "Barney's Verison" with Paul Giamatti.  Kinda slow but the ending did surprise us.  "Gullivers Travels" with Jack Black.  His normal craziness.

I had two guys quit from my team recently - their last day was Friday.  I'm actively trying to hire their replacements.  It will be tough to be short handed and they were both great guys so hard to lose them.  We had a going away lunch for them at The Cheesecake Factory in Boulder.  The portion sizes there are HUGE!

Theresa is busy at work getting everything ready for Celebration Sunday at church next weekend.  It's interesting to know all the behind the scenes prep work that goes into it.  It's a big deal.  She'll be ready for that to be over.

Chloe went to volleyball camp on Thursday/Friday/Saturday.  She's getting ready to try out for the Boulder High team (on Monday).  She also had a babysitting job on Friday night and she went out to dinner with some friends at the California Pizza Kitchen last night.  Her birthday is coming up next week!  She and Theresa have been planning an informal gathering over here with a few friends - grilling burgers and hotdogs, sleepover in the backyard in tents - should be fun.

Megan and Theresa went down Grandma Shields nursing home on Thursday night for a Luau celebration.

Yesterday was just a few errands (Costco, Tuesday Morning).  Megan spent the afternoon at 29th Street with Clara.  Church today.  and that's about it.

I'm sure there are a million more details.  But I just can't remember them.  It's amazing how a week just slips by and I have a hard time recalling what went on.  Theresa always reminds me after I hit send.

luv u,

Jeff
