Hi Mom,
Only one more week to go and you guys are out here. Can't wait!
Looks like the 70+ days are down. Snow is starting to fall. Not really sticking yet. But it won't be long 'til we get a big one. I'm not ready for it :-(
Theresa had a great couple of days at Laura Prill's open studios on Friday and Saturday. She made $540 selling Handmaiden Boulder wares! AMAZING! Not a bad start to a birthday weekend. Today she tried to relax a little bit. We didn't have any major celebrations. Megan did a great job of decorating with birthday banners, table cloth, confetti, horns and wrapping the presents - a cool light blue travel coffee cup from Bed Bath & Beyond and two new pillows from Marshalls.
I met with Desra and a friend of hers, Josh, to talk about triathlon coaching for next season (starting in January 2011). We talked about a customized program for both of them for $360 each.
Trying to make a few extra bucks anyway we can. That and with Theresa's extra take home pay from the church and Sports Solution it's really helping out.
Chloe had a friend spend the night on Friday night and then she helped a friend babysit last night until 11:30pm - so I think she is running on fumes too.
Megan went down yesterday for youth group girls pottery making. That sounded like fun.
I played today at church. For the first service I was alone leading on acoustic guitar (with the rest of the band and the vocalists) because Aaron was leading in the sanctuary for the traditional service. I was so nervous. But it went great.
The girls were off school on Thursday for veterans day. And then back to school on Friday. It's was kind of a weird schedule. I wish I had the day off but I didn't.
I recorded MU vs. KSU and then watched it while riding my stationary bike. Finally MU gets back on the winning track. Tough day for KU and UofA.
Whew - it's only 8:24pm but I slowing down. So, I think I'll cut it short.
Luv,
Jeff

Hi Mom,
Happy Halloween. Looks like the neighborhood is gearing up for a big night. It's surprising how many people go all out to decorate. Just up and down our street we have two graveyards, one haunted house and lots of lights. Megan is going out as Wilma from the Flinstones and Chloe is a Denver Bronco football player (with an old Jay Cutler jersey). I hoping it doesn't go to late since it's a school night. We have over 300 pieces of candy and I bet we'll run out.
Disappointing day for the Missouri Tigers yesterday :-( They just can't take the leap to the next level. After the big win over Oklahoma it was too much to ask for two in a row over big time program like Nebraska. 24 points in the 1st Quarter - yuck.
We haven't done much this weekend out and about. Lots of chores today (and even today some). Raked all the leaves in yard. Theresa has been doing laundry all weekend and vacuumed. I got a mountain bike ride in yesterday and run this afternoon. The weather has been fantastic.
A quick run to the grocery store after church and a quick $250.
We had a pizza night last night and watched Avatar again. Megan was spending the night at Clara's and Chloe played with a neighbor until around 9:30pm.
We are looking forward to Idina Menzel next Friday with the Colorado Symphony (conducted by Marvin Hamlisch). I've been pretty excited about it for some time now.
Last Thursday was Megan's parent teacher conferences. She good reports from all her teachers. They enjoy having her in class, say she is so nice and kind and respectful.... ahhhhh.
That's all I know for now :-)
luv u,
Jeff
