Miracle of miracles - Roger Federer won on clay at the French Open. It was a fantastic set of matches for Federer - such good tennis, and he wears that Rolex so well. Now he's on to Wimbledon where he favored to win. Some day, I'll be at Center Court to watch him play.
Miracle of miracles, the J² Walkathon finally happened! The J² Walkathon was one of those random ideas Jenessa and I had ages ago. Why not walk from Ygnacio in Walnut Creek to Dublin Bart on the Iron Horse.
Jenessa designed signs for us and anyone who joined us for part of our trek. 17.5 miles on the trail - biking that long isn't bad at all. Walking takes a bit more out of you, but we had a great time.
"J-Walk or Die" was our mantra - we did actually "jaywalk" twice just because it seemed necessary to complete our process. [Check out Jenessa's facebook note for a few other highlights and a more complete set of pictures.]
Miracle of miracles, Rachel, Allyson, Jenessa, and I are still best friends after all these years. Pretty amazing too that we had so much fun at a baseball game where the opposing teams scored seven runs in one inning. Oh well, as George Will once said, " "Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is just a hole in Arizona." I could not agree more.
Miracle of miracles, I packed up my classroom and made it through the end of the year. Last week was a dozen emotions packed into a few days - overall, one of the best weeks for how often kids told me they had loved class and for how often I got to tell people I loved them.
Miracle of miracles, we survived another graduation. More than than, Cameron graduated! And for that day, Mae graduated too. I love her perplexed little face.
And craziness -we're still smiling at the end of graduation. Gotta love SRV and what it's done for the family. Happy Summer!

HAPPY SUMMER-now that is a miracle of miracles in itself. now i think you forgot some key things involving out walkathon-41845 steps? yes very key. and the favorite quotes from "perched on the bluff" to "I have to pee, but not pee pee." I love you. J2 rules for life.
I just read Maggie's sister (the photographer's blog). her dress is beautiful! I can't wait to see more. and I loved her sister's style... to cool. I will probably visit her blog shortly. hope today was wonderful!
I meant to tell you that after I talked to you about your walk a thon, my dad emailed me about his 17 mile hike. he had designed a documentation of his intense day in the woods- packed with pictures and a map. I had to laugh when I knew you had done the same amount on a whim. love you.
did I also tell you? on my way out here I looked for a perfect bday card for you at the airport. they were the ones we love- but fresh out of the funny ones. maybe they're funnier with you. although- I still get the giggles when I look through Dylan's star wars cookbook. but still. not the same. you are such a good laughing companion.
and even though I said it already (and once should be plenty for a blog comment :) I love you!
That walk-a-thon looks like fun! You're so creative, I could never think of something fun like that. I wish I was into tennis because I have no idea what the first miracle meant. Oh well!
