Monday Updates

Gracie - as of the swim meet in LR on Saturday, she has now posted 4 state times - 50 breast, 100 breast, 100 free, and the 50 back! We are still waiting to see which event(s) she will be called upon to compete in at State. Yes, her hair is purple, or rather, highlighted underneath, and a couple of streaks on the side. And she LOVES it! This week is prep for church camp. We still have several items to purchase from the list, including flashlight, rain poncho, and dirty laundry bag. We drop her off on Sunday evening. She is getting VERY excited!

Jackson - currently has a rash all over his face, arms, and legs. We think he is allergic to the sunscreen they used at the pool last Thursday, it was leftover from last year. Poor kid. Ms. Kay just called and said it looks better this afternoon. He is eagerly awaiting his birthday and is dropping subtle hints for presents. So far he wants a Nintendo DS in blue, and some green money.

Pete - had a successful trip to Wisconsin last week, he enjoyed the 75 degree days. After sitting outside in 100 degree weather on Saturday watching everyone else swim, he has decided we are moving north! He and his other wife, evidently. He and Gray tried for some fishing on Sunday, but got aced out by a fussy boat motor and a little bit of rain. He is home all week this week!

Denise - I continue to hold down the fort, keep us all on track with summer activities and schedules. Work is good, always busy, but July is not an end of quarter month for my customer, so more tolerable than June was. I am still working on Jack's preschool scrapbook (almost done), and then on to Gracie's sports scrapbook of her teams, events, etc.

We finished the weekend with a Sunday night golf outing. Gracie was a cart driver (I know), Pete and I would tee off and chip, and the kids would putt once we got on the green. Best part for Gracie - driving the cart. Best part for Jack - snacks, and riding in the cart with Gracie. Best part for Pete - his bogey on 3, and showing his kids how to putt. Best part for me - getting off a really good drive with Pete's driver (felt good and sounded good), and sporting my OFF insect repellant belt clip - it works! Mom - I forgot to get you one!

Making my grocery list...D
