• Summer is officially here - no denying it! It's HOT!
  
• We should open an account at the ER. We took Brooke there Sunday after her soccer game to get her foot checked out. Upon examination, the doctor even thought it looked like it could be broken, but the xrays confirmed there was no breakage. Whew! She sat out one day of soccer camp, which started yesterday, and was determined to join her soccer buddies today. So, with a wrapped foot and a slight limp, she went.
  
• Tennis clinics have begun and the girls are about 2 weeks into it. They really enjoy this sport, although not so much in this unbearable heat. They got their new rackets today.
• Case is learning the parts of his body - he's a bit confused on toes vs nose, though. He's the parrot of our house now, repeating words like crazy.
• No news on the house. It's a bummer. The house we would like to buy just dropped drastically in price, too. We will not do a bridge loan, so I'm worried that someone else will snap it up.
• My brother had a near-death experience earlier this week. He was riding home from a group bicycle ride in the bike lane (Minneapolis), and a minivan turned in front of him...he hit the side of the van twice, broke its side mirror, laid the bike down (all the while thinking he was about to be run over by the rear tire), scraped up his knee badly, but survived to go to work later in the day! Whew! Thanks to God!
