Okay, now you have to tell me what that means (ha ha!)...seriously. Does that mean he stayed on for the 7? If so, that's FABULOUS! Well, actually, it's fabulous he can get on those hulking beasts at all. I still don't know how you guys handle the cardiac...though it must make you so proud.
Cody is practicing hard with his soccer club. One of the coaches (yeah, there's like 3) actually played pro soccer and coached division 1 college soccer (at least I assume it's college; Stan just says division 1 so I'm pretending I know what he's talking about). He's making friends on the team, which is one of the perks of organized sports is, right? He's doing well at school...but working his butt off between school and practices.
Josie just started dance and, since we haven't been able to find a club soccer team for her yet, she's going to try softball with her friend, Megan. She did pretty well at the "skills evaluation" fielding the ball and batting, having never done it before. Watching her catch (er, not) the pop flies was very funny. Had not a clue what to do...kind of like her mom.
Bethany and I are keeping busy with work...kind of. Busy enough to suffice, I suppose, for now. Though it's nice to be able to play when we want. When we were out looking for some books, we drove by this lake and saw a 6-8 foot alligator just floating on the surface. It was pretty cool...but made us realize how small the one in our pond is...made us kind of grateful for his size, too! Of course, the tiniest thing is the scariest thing in the water around here. There's this amoeba that lives at the bottom of shallow, warm freshwater lakes, and when it gets kicked up by boats and kids wipe out and get water (with amoebas) get up their noses, they get in the brain and they cause this amoeba encephalitis...3 adolescent boys have died this summer from it, and there wasn't a thing they could do to save them. Ack!
So did Stan and I tell you we made this goal for 25 marathons by 50? Yeah, and since I have less time (though I'm two races ahead), we're going to get a jump on it by doing 3 in about 8 weeks! Should be very....hard! But we'll just plan on finishing...no personal records here until we adjust to training in the humidity.
I remember you saying that Nick was working...where did Amy find a job? She's in school, too, right? Also, what's that Amanda girl up to? Josie and I were playing catch just tonight with the softball that she had people sign, and there was a sweet note from Amanda to her and I teared up immediately.
We love you guys and miss you like crazy. It's so stupid how we take family for granted just because they are so close. Let us know how the fall Powell trip goes. When it was hot, hot, hot here, I was so jealous of you guys! Keep writing, Stewart. It truly makes my day!
