Jeff makes our lives fun. I think Annie misses him the most when he is out of town. That girl can get anything ANYTHING out of her father. He is so funny. I went to the Scout pow wow on Saturday morning, and I came home and there was a piece of pumpkin pie left for me from BREAKFAST! Sometimes it is so funny when we try to have out 246 second conversation at night, and the kids are running around like banshees and someone brought the dog in, and Strongbad music is playing and if we're really doing well the dishwasher and clothes washer are both running, and we can be 91/2 inches away from one another and not be able to hear each other at all. Jeff says the sweetest prayers. He's doing great at work. He's been put on 2 or 3 different boards in Mexico, a great honor to himself and his company. He is very patient with his high-maintenance wife. He'll often call and say that he's been thinking about some particular issue with one of the kids, or a concern about something we're trying to make a decision on. He is a true companion and I love him like crazy!
