Oh, yeah - they lost
Here's a pic of Conner from today. It was the district playoffs for the USTA league that Conner and Cam are in, both of their teams made it to the districts and it was great that they were both playing at the same place! I finally got to see them both play! They played well, (Conner had to face what Wyatt described as a "33 year old man" - let's just say it was 18 and under, but I'm thinking it might've meant dog years or something cause this guy was huge!) The teams lost over all, so they are done with league play for now. Conner starts Guerin tennis next week and I'm sure Cam won't be far behind for OLMC's team. Wyatt's doing football again and there is talk of prepping him for quarterback, though I can't see that happenning in actual game play! We'll see how that pans out. Hope everyone had a great day today - hopefully we can make it down soon.
SORRY WE MISSED THE "SURPRISE"
Hi - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAUL! Sorry, we weren't able to make it for the surprise. I knew Todd and the older 2 wouldn't make it because they had tennis finals. I'd hoped to come with the younger ones, but it was becoming too hard to work out the logisitics. Hope it was a great day for all and that the birthday boy was surprised.

About time I blogged...
I almost never blog, but I say it's because I never have anything new to report.
Most of you know that I'm home for the summer- working at Dr. Black's again. It's going well. Getting more experience and still learning. And making money in the process, which is never a bad thing.
I'm not heading back to Bloomington until mid to late August. Classes don't start until the 31st, but I'll be going up a week or so before that to start a part-time job up there. It's at an optometrist's office. But it will be more office work and more optical work (which is no fun) than my job here. And it's a pay cut. But my fall schedule is so light, I needed something to keep me busy.
Alex is "settled in" in Iraq. Well, I guess about as settled as you can be over there. He has his computer, and he has internet access. So if you want, you can e-mail him at jalexkenney@gmail.com. He's pretty busy. But when he's not working he's pretty bored, too. You can send him mail, too, if you'd like. A regular stamp is all you need for a normal letter (no extra postage, no customs form). I sent my first package out just last week. Took me some time to figure out the customs form and get myself to the post office. Here's his address:
1LT Kenney, James A.
546th Maintenance Company
COB Adder
APO AE 09331
I went to DC about three weeks ago for the AOA (American Optometric Association) Conference. Some of you might have seen the pictures on facebook. We visited the exhibit hall several times to get all the free stuff! And went to several Boards review classes. And it was fun, too. We even got to see Jeff Foxworthy perform. My friend Amanda and I took late flights out so we could spend Sunday sightseeing. We got to see most of the monuments and memorials, but it was very exhausting.
I've had very little to do since then. But then once I do end up having things to do, I end up double-booked. Alex Gettelfinger is getting married on Saturday, and I'd really like to go. But my friends from Indy planned a weekend at our friend's cabin in Brown County. I might try to do both, but not sure if it will really work out or not.
I guess that's about all I have to say.

Mom's (Debbie) 50 Birthday
I have been meaning to post mom's birthday pictures on here. Sorry it took me so long.
Yes we put 50 candles on her cake.
Tom and I decided to flamingo her.
We decided to go to the pool to cool off from all those birthday candles burning :)
Love you MOMMY
Zoo time
Mom and I took the kiddos to the zoo yesterday . The got their face painted and fed the Lorikeets. If you look in the background I am still inside. It took me a minute to walk out to the birds. But we had a good time.

Busy with work again!
I've been busy with work again. Not as busy as I should be, I still have a lot to do. We have our biggest release so far of the web site. Of course they want me to put together a plan to bring the corporate site and the self-service site into union with each other. They really just need to get some policies and strategies for putting things on it. we did a lot of work this time with getting them similar.
the past week, guess it's been longer than that, the past 3 weeks I haven't been able to work out as much I would like, or as much as my personal trainer would like. didn't think I should use the machines so much with the poison sumac, but that is pretty much cleared up now. then with work, hopefully after Wednesday it will calm down a while again.

First Therapy
Well I had my first therapy treatment for my shoulder today. The best part was the 20 minutes of some kind of electrical attachments placed on my shoulder. Felt like it was numb or like I had a lot of weight on it and it felt great. So for 3 l/2 hours after, I had very little pain in the neck and shoulder. Don't think I get that treatment every time, but hope so.
Glad to hear from Beth and Cheryl again on the blog. Terri what happened to you, it was great hearing what the boys were doing. I guess you will be leaving soon for your trip. Hope you have a great time and good weather.
Jim, hows the house going. We hear from your Mom about it, but what do you think.

Empty Nest
Reese left yesterday for her "20 day" visit at Grans. Mom called me after 17 minutes into their drive and said Reese was sleeping. She said when they got to the end of our driveway Reese said "Gran, can you believe it, we are finally getting to go to your house?" She had been so excited asking every day if she was going to Grans.
Jeff and I talked with her for a few minutes last night and she said she was having fun and didn't have time to talk. She has a full schedule planned. Uncle Rusty gave her $50 to take Gran to Camden Park which is like Six Flags. Friday night they are going to see Madagascar 2 in the park with a picnic. She told Mom she didn't get to see the whole movie when she went to the theatre because she was bad. Hopefully this time she will make it through to the end.
Summer, the 3 year old who lives across the street from Mom came over as soon as she saw Reese there and stayed until 9:30. I think Mom had her hands full with the two of them. They are both jealous of each other and don't like to share that well. Today our friend Teri dropped her daughter Erin who is 15 off to spend the day with them. They called me on their way to the grocery store this morning. Reese thought they needed to get a few things.
Mom said when she went to check on Reese this morning she was lying in bed and Mom ask her what she was doing and she told Mom she was just lying in the sun thinking and she could do that all day. She also told her she was never going home. We will see how long that last.
In the mean time at the home front we are having the drywall work done and hopefully the painting. The contractor was suppose to be here between 8 and 8:30 this morning to get started but I received a call around 9 rescheduling for noon. Hopefully this isn't a sign of how the work is going to be done.
Reese is missed but hopefully we can use the time wisely. I am going to try and get my office in order and I think Jeff is going to try and get caught up on his 700+ work emails while there are no interruptions.
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th. Love you all.

Lazy Days
I was thinking of "Lazy Days of Summer" not just lazy Days...(I'm thinking of me, in particular, right now, at this moment...no one else in particular) - but if you are feeling guilty... For some reason I woke up feeling zapped and besides catching up on laundry and e-mails and old magazines, haven't accomplished much else today.
I did just catch the garbage men on their route and, surprise to me, found out we could be placing one bulk item out with our regular trash pickup each week. They were nice enough to wait while I grabbed the cushions and pillows from the mildewed, sour-smelling couch waiting to be pitched! I need to call the Street Dept. back and see just what it is they pick up - they said they will pick up once a month...!!?? I'm confused!!?? and this is our week for pick up...
Alan has been in Guadalajuara, but flew into St. Louis Thursday night to help Jim with some more painting and projects. I rode with Marilyn (who had just happened to be visiting her Mom here) and got to St. Louis just after noon on Friday. Then both Alan and I flew out Monday morning - Alan back to Guadalajuara and me to Louisville. Alan will get home this Thursday and right back out on Monday for a few weeks in Europe (Turkey and Croatia, among others, but not the places Drew and Jessica will be visiting!) By the way, Jim was living just south of Bari, in Manfredonia (maybe 50 miles or so - Jim can correct me, but I googled, and I think this is close!)
Laura has been putting together a box to send to Alex. She has received several items from him, and they are able to talk several times a week.
Matt and Rachel (Nolan) had their baby, Natalie Rae (a few weeks early) on June 25. She is adorable and I can tell it will be fun having a baby around once again. It definitely has been a while for the Nolan Family!
I have survived all disasters at the Library (including the Greenway presentation and getting off on Friday, the 3rd, at the last minute...) I've worked hard at making my life simpler...woe is me when things get a little complicated or difficult! I know Alan and my kids are all rolling their eyes just about now.
Looks like we will head in the opposite direction soon to see Gary and Rachel's new place (haven't been to Columbus yet at all - excited to get there!) Jim will manage to stay busy all on his own for a while. Don't forget to ask him how many different paint colors it takes to paint one wall (nevertheless a whole house!) And he might want to warn Rachel what a sloppy painter I am! Maybe I'm not that bad, but not very patient and I definitely can't "cut in" - Alan and Jim are pros!
Every one take care! Love, Beth
