Yesterday, the sun appeared. Today, it was Mercury. Is Venus tomorrow?
Solar System?
Martini Tuesday
I am officially declaring it, “Martini Tuesday.” I am sitting at my dining room table answering all those emails that came in while I was in seven hours of meetings today. I am only complaining a little bit as I work three more hours at home. Who’s in?
11!
Happy, Happy 11th Birthday to my Little Man! I can’t believe you start middle school in the fall. I love that you love baseball (just as much as I loved volleyball); I love that you love Scouts; and I love that you are your Dad’s mini-me. I hope you enjoy your first day at Camp Mudd and that you have a GREAT birthday! I love you, John Buddy!
13!
And, just like that, Laura went from this…
…to this.
How is she a teenager? It happened in the blink of an eye. She is the best combination of her dad and me with some uniqueness thrown in for good measure. She is super smart, determined, fun, and so much more. She wanted Kobe Japanese Steakhouse for dinner, so that is where we went. Happy 13th birthday, Red! WE LOVE YOU!
Big Tree Cycling Picnic
It was a hot afternoon at the park, but a fun one. The Kassel family spent the afternoon at the Big Tree Cycling team picnic. We enjoyed fun with teammates and their families, good food, and drinks. We also got to celebrate Lauren turning 29! HBD to one of my besties!
Fun
Andy has been working from home most of this week because some work is being done on the parking lot area where he works. He and the kids have been to the pool, rode their bikes to Mugs Up for lunch, and just generally had fun times together.
Dr. Jensen
I have the privilege of going to work every day with some of the best. They are not only my colleagues, but my friends. Today, I got to watch Kurtis complete his doctoral degree. I actually remember the first time I met him five years ago. He cracked a joke that only I found funny. I laughed so hard and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Since that time, I have come to very much respect the person he is. He gets my sense of humor; he always makes me laugh; and he is always honest with me. Congratulations to Dr. Woo! You are one of the best!
