father's day

We got to talk to Jeff over the web cam today for the first time in a while. He's grown a mustache (interesting!!) since we last saw him! The kids were happy to see him and sat longer than usual. I tried to take my dad golfing but the course was too packed for amateurs so we played tennis instead. The kids spent last night in their own rooms (their own athens rooms) and I got a good night's sleep in a bed by myself!! Now they're busy exploring their new/old stuff that they haven't seen since we left Mississippi and playing in the sandbox and sprinkler.

We went to a AAA (if that!!) baseball game in Athens last night and Heather was scared out of her mind at the beginning of the game of the mascott (a big orange bear) but by the end of the game was giving hugs and high 5's very happily. Charlie offered emphatic "no's" anytime a visit to the bear was suggested.
