It's beautiful here today - makes me very anxious for the summer months.

Dave and I leave Friday a.m. for Cleveland - I think K&B leave on Thursday. I am excited to make the trip, just Dave and I, but I am experiencing the normal anxiety that always comes with leaving the kids. I know they'll be fine - my Mom is flying in to stay with them and Buffy has offered to help out a bit. It is a universal truth and a devastating realization: I need them more than they need me.

Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day - we went over to spend it with K&B and B&B - had a BBQ and sat around the fire, eating s'mores and watching the kids down sodas like water. It was Mom's day - so I didn't have to care. Thanks to the men for making all that happen and for not letting the ladies lift a finger.

Dave is ever busy - when he's not working, he's thinking about it and planning meetings or improvements. We still run together when we can - he is kind enough to run with me, even though I know I slow him down. But - it's really good for me. We got our room in Leavenworth - you have to stay 2 nights due to Oktoberfest - and rooms go quickly, so plan accordingly. I know Brian & Paige are planning on driving up to the race that morning - some may inquire about staying with them.

Mike & Brooke - hope the move went well. Did your mailing address change? I would like to send Sadie's BD gift, but want to send it to the correct address. Let us know.

Well - I'm off to get out into the sun while it lasts!
