Hi Mom (and Dad),

72 years young :-)   You are at the bottom of the Grand Canyon enjoying a steak dinner.  Have a good hike out and this email will be waiting for you.

We've had a quite a weekend.

Chloe off to prom last night with Corbin.  They went to dinner at Trattoria on Pearl St., then to the dance at the Boulder Theater and finished off at East Boulder Rec Center for the after prom.  She looked beautiful.

Equally exciting was Megan's trip to the emergency room this morning.  We were riding our bikes on the way to church and being silly.... when our handle bars got got and both of us did endos over the bars.  Needless to say we didn't make it to church, a quick x-ray later and a sling to take care of her AC separation.  Cheerleading will be challenging for the next few weeks but she should heal quickly and be back in business.

I have a couple of bruised ribs and some cuts and scrapes.

We are all home resting comfortably now :-)

luv u,

Jeff

Hi Mom and Dad,

Another busy week under our belts.

The big event of the week was Theresa's big charity gala for Glory Community at the Arvada Center.  She was introducing Susan St. James and Dick Ebersol - as the church lady.  She was great.  It was a quick 3 minutes but a lot of fun.  Mark Randall (former KU grad and Denver Nuggets ambassador) was the emcee.  There was a cash bar, silent auction, fancy dinner, inspirational talk by Susan and fun olympic stories from Dick.  Dick's favorite olympic moment was Muhammed Ali lighting the torch in Atlanta.  We had a quick chat with Susan at the end of the evening.  They were heading with their good friend Mo Siegel (founder of Celestial Seasonings - Susan was an original investor in the company).  I mentioned Larry Potter's condo and business dealings in Telluride.  She remembered Larry well and said to let him know she was still alive and kicking!

We've had great weather this week.  Today was gorgeous.  I went for a 2 hour/40 mile bike ride today.

Megan had a lot of fund raising to do for cheer squad.  She sold 35 coupon cards for $20 each ($700 total) last week.  She got new cheer shoes today. That's just the beginning to the uniform.  Sometime soon they get fitted for their uniforms.  I don't even know how much that will cost :-)

Chloe has been taking ACT practice tests.  I think she is taking the actual test on Tuesday.  She wrote down UofA and KU for colleges she might be interested in.  Prom is next week.  Still sorting out the details for that.

I signed up for a leadership conference that will be simulcast from Atlanta to our church on May 4th.  It's the Chik fil A leadercast.  With folks like Tim Tebow, Soledad O'Brian, Patrick Lencioni, Marcus Buckingham, John Maxwell, Urban Meyer, etc.  I'm looking forward to it.

We are still making plans for Ken & Mona's 50th.  I think we are trying to find flights out Thursday night and return Sunday night.  We might find a hotel to stay at just so we are all crowded into their house.  Kevin and Charlie should be there too.

Well - that's all I know.

luv u,

Jeff

Hi Mom and Dad,

Well the big news around here is that Megan Sherard made the Boulder High Varsity Cheer Squad!  She was so nervous.  Try outs were all week long, culminating on Friday.  And the results were posted outside the gym at 7:30pm.  We went out for frozen yogurt to celebrate with the Leitz's.  Clara made the team too.  Now the fun starts.  It's a 3-season sport with summer camps, bootcamps, games, etc - and all the expense that goes with it :-)

Everything else is a blur this week.  Normal work, BSF on Monday, music practice on Thursday, worship team and church this morning.

We've had crazy weather this week.  Beautiful sunshine and 70s to start the week.  Then could rainy/snowy to end the week.  We bought some more herbs and plants for the garden planters (in time for the frost :-) ).  I also finally got a new bbq grill too and it's been in the garage since we bought it.

I don't know what else is happening.  So, I'll end it here and if I think of anything else I'll write more (or call!).

luv u,

Jeff
