Family Time

Dale, Sarah, Lorri, Corin and Calvin,
We enjoyed Silveus family time together today at Uncle Denny and Aunt Sara's. Since Dad and I wanted some exercise, we chose to walk there. It took us an hour and forty minutes, plenty of water, and sticky sweat. We enjoyed each other, snacks, the pool, and celebrated Dad's birthday. Dori was especially disappointed that Uncle Mike, Aunt Jill, and the kids weren't able to be with us because of some previous plans. She just doesn't know how to play in the pool without kids. Anyway, it was still good to be together. Grandma Gay is as cute and spunky as ever. What a gem! After we dropped Grandma Gay off, we just relaxed here at home for the rest of the day. Anna is really into watching Agatha Christy "Miss Marple" shows. It's pretty fun and we laugh a lot. By the time we're tucking ourselves into bed, though, Dori started work at Memorial Hospital. She thought she had plenty of time off, but she was called in for an 11pm-7am shift. She didn't mind that so much since that still gives her the entire day tomorrow to sleep and then enjoy some time off tomorrow evening. I think she'll also be trying to move some things in at Bethel this week since Jamie is already moved in. Anna starts school on Tuesday but has both cross country and band practice tomorrow night. It's been a crazy summer for her, but no regrets. Her running is going really well, but we'll see how she progresses as the upper classmen improve their time. Hopefully, she'll continue to improve as well, but so far she has been running number one for practices. We'll see. This is all for fun for her right now, so I don't think she's feeling pressured. Homo, though, is pretty excited to see so many incoming athletes that look really good.

OK, I need to close for now. I love you so much and pray for you daily.
