The family expands

Hi everyone:

Yesterday was a busy day for Patty. We started out with a client meeting downtown at 1:00 pm, picked Neil up at his restaurant at around 2:45 pm, dropped in on Aunt Sue for lunch at Costa's around 3:00 pm, visited with Neil for the balance of the afternoon and met our son Colin at O'Hare at 8:15 pm. We have Colin until August 16, at which time he'll return to Canada. This time always goes very fast. Unfortunately, we may not see Devin at all this summer -- he starts his job at McDonald's early this coming week.

The day was a pretty good one for Patty, except at those times where she was outside for a couple of minutes -- then her breathing became labored. Fortunately, we stayed pretty close to air conditioning for much of the day. Today, we are planning to visit our friends Heather & Ryan for a cookout, and should reacquire the rest of our brood (sans Devin) later in the evening.

Patty has a mild headache this morning, and says her breathing is a bit strained even indoors today, but she seems pretty cheery and energetic. More soon...

Love,
Brian
