Snowing in Michigan



Shani - i'm glad the praise the lord thing is working for you. Chad will think long and hard about moderating my swear words in the future (but I do have to say my swearing is down considerably). So are my daughters beautiful or what? River is turning 11 in two days - she is an amazing person - and now I know what my parents must have had to deal with with five kids. It is getting cold here and snowing in bits and pieces. We were up north over the weekend and Dad and Uncle Chuck DID NOT let the free labor go to waste (we made them pay in beer - heavily). We raked an acre of leaves and the guys cut down 4 trees - which I had the pleasure of stacking - my arms still hurt. I laugh when people ask how I got started racing triathlons - I tell them i've been ready since I was little - I would swim all day, my gram would pay me a dollar to mow an acre of lawn and I would ride my bike 4 miles round trip to buy some candy. This was weekend was also opening for deer hunters so Riv got traumatized on the way down state by all the dead deer strapped to the vehicles we were passing. Lots of fun, no doubt. I hope everyone is hanging in there.....

Awww...that is so sad yet so funny about the deers. The circle of life continues, or something. Hey Brandy, I hope you know that I didn't include the Jesus thing in my email the other day as some sort of jest. I take my study of religion very seriously and I mean what I say. Btw, cute photo of the kids.
