This is our new kitchen table that John made. It is mounted to the wall and really frees up the other side of the kitchen for a desk/calendar area on the opposing wall. All in good time.
Back to School
Monday was Katie's first day of Kindergarten! The school is very small and there is one class per grade, so she was familiar with the teacher and classroom from when Sarah was in Kindergarten. But still, it can be nerve wracking to walk into a classroom full of new faces. She was very comfortable and seems to have made friends easily. Sarah was excited about being able to see her friends every day. I am so proud of them both and it makes me happy that they love school. The girls and I had a fun summer together but we were all ready to get back into a daily routine.

Peaches
Our tree FINALLY produced peaches this year. All told, it was about 2 dozen. We have a small garden, but I enjoy picking a few tomatoes for the salad or a peach for breakfast. We made peach ice cream on Sunday. Yum-O!
Ironman 70.3 Boulder
Hi Everyone! We went to Boulder this past weekend for John's 1/2 Ironman. That's a 1.2mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. The heat ate his lunch, and for as much of a family man as John is, I believe the stress from making this a "family vacation" reared it's ugly head. Did I mention it was HOT??? Sarah's little body could not handle spending all day in the heat and she came home and spent the next 2 days laid out from a fever that topped out at 105. Or perhaps it was something she caught at the pit stop from HELL on the way there. There was a line for the bathroom and we heard a little voice from within saying....."Daddy, I have diarrhea!" Gross.
So glad THAT's over with!!!
Still smiling after the swim. Boulder Reservoir is beautiful and the girls loved playing in the sand while John was racing.
Only in Boulder....
Hey Mom - that lady, who clearly has no children OR common sense, just gave us cowbells!!!
Oh, I see I'll be swimming DIRECTLY into the sun again this year.
How long is this thing gonna take?
