What I've Been Up To

It's been a busy week and a half since Jude's been born. On the home front, we have:
  • been to the chiropractor 3 times (and boy do I feel great!)

  • driven 90 miles to Quakertown for our first well-baby visit at the doctor's office (he's gained back almost all of his weight after the typical, initial post-birth loss)

  • gone to Nay Aug Park

  • shopped at Babies 'R Us and 2 different Target stores

  • visited Jill's family in Exeter/West Pittston (twice - once as a bathroom/nursing stop on the way back from Quakertown)

  • stopped in at both of my churches' offices for both a bit of quick work and to show him off

  • been to Starbucks twice (for my youth groups' Thursday night get togethers)

  • generally, done too much...but it's been good

Professionally, it is also a busy time of year. What I have been/am still working on:
  • taken the Jr./Sr. High group to a minor league baseball game

  • organized a Youth Sunday service for Presby (6/3)

  • begun organizing a Youth Sunday service for Epiphany (6/10)

  • lining up volunteers to help clean-up after the Epiphany church picnic (6/10)

  • tracking down adult leaders for the Jr. High Service Learning Trip to Heifer Farms in August

  • making multiple calls, getting checks written, sending out mailings, organizing final details for the Sr. High Mission Trip to Philadelphia (6/17)

  • doing some more brainstorming for the '07-'08 "program year" (hate that expression)

  • starting to line-up senior high help for Vacation Bible School

  • lending a hand to the Relay for Life team (6/9-6/10)

Not an exhaustive list, but you get the picture. That's my latest update. Remember to check out Jude's Flickr set. New photos added this morning!
