We Miss You

We are greatly enjoying Sam and Zoe this week, but miss having MJ and Jonathan here. Sounds like MJ's next round of Chemo will be delayed a couple of days, so hoping for as relaxing a week as can be expected in Pittsburgh. Jonathan and MJ's family member visits have been considerate and meaningful, however I expect the downtime is a blessing. Especially knowing thier children are in the calm and safe hands of brother Joe and Susan.

Speaking of safe hands, not sure how Sam grew the 2 new ones, but I expect they will be nice to have around the house the next few months. Sam and Catherine also went golfing yesterday, and had a great time. Lot of mumbling when I asked them how they scored. My suspicion is they played incredibly well, but did not want to compromise negotiating position for the up and coming family match.


Zoe enjoyed the boating, but initially decided to take a more passive role as a boat model. She enjoys the lake, and today we hope to get her engaged in a few more water activities. At the end of the day she jumped in and assisted Susan in all aspects of preparing a wonderful dinner after watching 2 episodes of Ratchel Ray. The teamwork resulted in a memorable feast.

We hope for another great day today and hope to get a visit from Karen and Mike - MJ's friends from Oakland. They and daughter Annie and are visiting NH and staying right down the road.


Uh-Oh - Zoe just got up and asked to go out on the Jet ski this morning. Do you want to go now? No, she replied, I want to wait intill Catherine gets up and go with her, because there will be no room on it with your big butt! So now she can safely go out instead with someone who is not up for the safe driver award. Will keep you posted.
