At the TV studio where the big LendIt conference took place

I have been insanely busy the last few weeks (which is why it has been a while since our last update) with our big annual LendIt conference. It happened this past Tuesday to Thursday at a TV studio in Denver. It went pretty well and it was great when Marcy and the kids came down after it was all over and got to see how it all came together.

Jude in his refereeing uniform

Jude is back refereeing again. He passed his exam in February but them the pandemic hit and all spring soccer was canceled. Now, they have started back up again and Jude is doing a couple of games every weekend. The pay is excellent once you become fully qualified, he gets $25 a game and the little kids (U9 or U10) are over in a bit more than an hour. For a 13-year-old that is great money. But the most important thing is that he really likes doing it.

Anna washing my car

Anna has been doing some babysitting but she is keen to earn more money. So, this weekend she washed both Marcy’s and my car (including vacuuming) and she mowed the front and back lawns. She is saving up for her own iPad mini and with the work she has been doing she is already 15% of the way there.

Anna has also started cheerleading class. She really missed gymnastics and they still hadn’t restarted classes at DU yet so Anna went searching for cheerleading classes and found one down in Highlands Ranch. So far, she loves it.

Helping out with some computer work

Marcy has been doing some volunteer work for the election. And we know Olive likes to stick close so she tried to help Marcy with her work.
