Thank you, Brooke, for keeping us up to date on your goings on...It sounds like things are close to what they were when I was there...except for the progress on the outdoor stuff. Your mom is a dynamo...you're fortunate to have her there...or rather Mike is very fortunate!

We had a great weekend of volleyball with Anne this weekend. It was fun to see her play again. When she got married and Kim decided not to continue in volleyball, I thought that our volleyball days were all over. It's nice to have them back. Unfortunately, they don't have a lot of weekend games since they are new in Division 1 and not yet in a conference. If any of you have any in's with volleyball, put in a good word for them so they will get invited soon! Depending on what happens with my work, I may try to get down there for some games in early November.

We also had a great time visiting with Peter. He is definitely fitting into the Stinchfield mold since Dad and he stayed up until 2:30 on Friday night playing Xbox!
The team came over Friday night for a BBQ. Dad had to barbeque in the garage since it was pouring rain outside. Our concept of a relaxing outdoor barbeque in our backyard was kind of squashed by the weather.

I have joined "Curves" and work out three times a week. It's a good program for people such as me that have a short attention span. You switch activities every 30 seconds! Dad, Kim and I are on a health...let's lose weight...kick. Let's hope that it can produce the results.

Kim is heading out to Tom's on Thursday...and Dad and I are on our way to Sacramento on Saturday. This house will be lonely for awhile.

I just got back from Enrichment Night...not as exhausted as I normally get as I have a really good Enrichment leader now. What a relief!

Love you all,

Mom
