Prayer request.

Hello everyone,

Here goes a HUGE prayer request for my Dad. He is in the ICU at his local hospital, with a huge blood clot in his upper arm. As of this morning, the docs are trying to dissolve the clot using Coumadin and treating him with antibiotics. The hope is that the clot will dissolve. We are not sure what is next, if the Coumadin doesn't do it's thing. Please pray that this works.

After much fretting and running around, I finally have all the paperwork to submit to Academy District 20 Schools. I can't believe all the paperwork involved for one application. I am hoping that the job comes through, as I think it is a perfect fit.

On Friday, we went to Denver and hand delivered some of the paperwork for my application. The State Capital was directly across from the Colorado Department of Education, so we took a tour of the Capital Building. Way cool. It is so beautiful on the inside. We spent the night, in Denver, at a "Hyatt Place". I highly recommend the place. Very clean and very comfy. We took the girls to Casa Bonita for dinner on Friday. Yuck food, but good atmosphere. The girls swam in the pool Friday night, and on Saturday, we went to the Denver Science and History Museum. It was wonderful and we had a blast. It made us feel like we were back in D.C. again. Since we can't do that trip this summer, it's good to know there are things to do around here that are super fun.

Yesterday, I visited Pookie. He is so very confused. He was telling me things about his mother that I knew was really about Baba. He was in good spirits other than the confusion.
After Pookie's I had a nice phone conversation with Jen. It always does my heart good to talk to her and to hear the boys. I actually got to talk to them on the phone too. I can't wait to see them soon.

Today, we are out of school, yet again, but I am busy with lessons. I would rather do them during the day, than wait until tonight. I must go before the next lesson arrives.

Happy day all.
