Did someone leave the oven on?

Summer is here. It's official. The kids have their very last day of school tomorrow. It will be Kurgan's last day of elementary school!! (What the...?) We have some great videos that we will be posting soon and keep an eye out on your mail because you will be getting a letter from us soon and maybe even a picture or two.
I stopped by my parent's house after work today and guess who was up and sitting at the computer? Yes, my father. He sent my mom out for something and when she got back he had gotten up and shaved and prettied himself up a bit. He's doing very well so we're excited about that and trying to tell him he still needs to take it easy even if he feels good.
Last night I had the pleasure of accompanying a very awesome lady to a concert! Amanda let me join her at the Kings of Leon concert. We were afraid that it was going to be super hot outside but as luck has it, the sky clouded over and the wind picked up a little and it was super nice. The Walkmen opened and we both liked them. I thought they sounded Stokes-ish....well the singer did anyway. Good stuff. We sat in the grass on a small hill/incline for most of the show but then we decided to get down in the crowd up by the stage for the last few songs.
Thanks to Ken and Lee for watching the little one's so that the wild and crazy sisters could go out for a much-needed night on the town together.

Thank-o-city

I just wanted to say thanks to all who have been praying for my dad. The surgery went well and although the heart was in worse shape than they had originally thought, it's now fixed and it's almost as if he's had a heart transplant! I saw him a bit before they took him down to prep him for surgery this morning and he seemed very tired but not too nervous. I went back right after work and met Amanda at the hospital. I got to see him hooked up to a bunch of IV's and he had all kinds of tubes hooked to him but he looked good. He almost looked as if he was just in a very, very deep sleep and so Amanda and I held his hands and told him we were there. The nurse that is sitting with him is super nice and knowledgeable so it was very comforting that she's there watching over him for us. She answered all my questions and we left him there for the evening. He should be resting for a while now and they will definitely let us know if there are any issues. I'm excited to see him (awake) and to be able to talk with him.

So again, thanks to those of you that have been praying or sending good thoughts our way. I know that my entire family appreciates it!
