Hi Mom,

A hot Sunday coming to an end.  I think we got up to 90F today.  It's made us all a little be lethargic.  So, we've been lying around lounging, watching tv, napping.  Theresa has managed to squeeze a few loads of laundry in.

We did make it to church this morning.  The girls volunteered to do child care for the worship team folks.  Since it's summer the regular child care/Sunday school is scaled way back.  We did a few errands while waiting for the girls to finish up.  Target and Home Depot.  I really need a new grill and a new lawn mower.  But I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet.  They both can be expensive items.

We had Brad and Laura Prill over for dinner last night.  It was adults only - the girls were out on another baby sitting job.  We had fajitas. *and* strawberry/rhubarb pie for desert.  It was all excellent.

Outside of babysitting the girls have been enjoying the lazy, dog days of summer.  Staying up all night and sleeping all day.  Oh the life of a teenager.

Theresa is now officially an employee of Calvary Bible Church.  She got an offer letter last week to do 24 hours a week - tues thru thurs.  Job sharing with one of the other girls.  She had to tell her other employer, Julie @ SportsSolution, that she wouldn't be able to work there anymore.  I think it was kinda hard because they have a rhythm going there and Theresa has been a big help.

I think we are thinking of leaving Thursday night, June 30th to head to Independence to start off the 4th of July week.  We'll stay with Ken and Mona until Monday the 4th and then head over to Steve and Julie's.  We have to drive back to Colorado on Friday the 8th.  I have a race that following Sunday and need to pick up my packet on Saturday.

I have an intern starting at work tomorrow for 6-weeks.  He is part of the 'I Have A Dream' org that provides mentoring opportunities for disadvantaged youth.  It should be good.  I'm gonna work him hard :-)

I saw a little baby fox out on my bike ride on Thursday morning.  That was a fun encounter.

I guess Alex Sherard has a cute new puppy from Angie's dog's litter.  (shhh - i'm not sure steve knows or approves)

We've watched 'Burlesque' and caught up on our 'Friday Night Lights' tv series this week.  Tonight I think we are going to watch 'The Switch'.  Theresa has been enjoying watching the final Oprah shows.

We'll that's all I know for now.

luv u,

Jeff
