Summer’s in full swing here!

School’s been out for 3 weeks and it’s been fun times here in Deputyland.  Last week was fun simple times -  movies, bowling, a visiting cousin.  Last Saturday was Mickey’s Challenger Jamboree.  She had a great time playing on a nice field and visiting with her friend Jeremy whom she only gets to see once a year at Jamboree.  Sunday we took Mickey to Camp HiLite, a Down syndrome overnight camp.  She had as much fun this year as she did last year.  Michael, Brad and I kept busy but missed her.  Wednesday Michael and I celebrated our 20th anniversary by spending the day with Brad going to a movie and an Indians doublheader.  We are blessed to be together and to have great kids.

Happy Summer!!

School’s out for summer!  Brad finished his first year at the new g/t school with a better than 3.5 GPA.  We are so proud of him!  Mickey made the honor roll the past 2 nine weeks!  We are very proud of her also.

We just finished 4 nights of VBS at church.  The message for the week was that everyone is a missionary.  The kids packed food for a group in Guatemala last night.  It was so cool to see a room full of kids fixing meals to be sent off to kids who often go to bed hungry.

Tomorrow I start training for the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco with Team in Training.   Mickey is my team’s honored hero so that makes it even more special.   I will be training to do the full 26.2 miles while raising $4000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Please visit my fund raising page and make a donation if you are able.  I truly appreciate it!   http://pages.teamintraining.org/in/nikesf09/mjmb@deputyfamily.net The event takes place October 18, but I hope to have my fund raising done by mid-July so I can focus on my training.  I’m a bit nervous about the distance since I’ve only done a half marathon in the past.  Thanks for your support!
