family updates

It's been a busy week here. The kids had swim lessons all week and I've had a lot of work to try to get done.

Last night I was trying to get some work stuff finished that's due Monday. It was going to be a few simple fixes, but things turned out to be much worse than I thought and it was around 3:45am when I finally went to bed. But at least I finished it and should be work-free for the weekend. We had some lay-offs earlier in the week at work. So I am feeling really blessed to still have a job. But it makes me think that one should always keep your resume up to date.

Today we are going to Kim's birthday party. Kendre is making the cake, cookies, and other goodies - they look really yummy! Lots of chocolate! The house smells like a desert bakery. She'll post photos on her blog soon.

Kendre got the stitches taken out of her finger this week. She went on Monday, but they said it needed to dry out a couple more days, so we went back late Wed night after VBS/band rehearsal. It looks pretty good though she says it still feels a little numb and she's a little nervous about bumping. I think it will grow out ok.

Speaking of swim lessons, the kids did really well. Macy worked on pushing off while diving and improved her freestyle swimming. Keegan got to learn a first competition style dive. The teacher said she'd never had a student pick up dives so quickly. Tressa learned freestyle swimming and worked on it. Mathias worked on swimming without assistance. He was able to cross the whole pool alone. He also swam underwater.

Keegan and Tressa both lost teeth this week. And the tooth fairy remembered to pay a visit. :-)

Here's a couple of random Blackberry photos from this week...

I woke Drinian up one morning when I went out for an early conf call. He looked a little stunned and a lot silly sleeping on his back in his dog house:


I love the green rolling hills around here. And when you zoom with the Blackberry's cheesy camera, you get something that kinda looks like a painting:
