Being sick sucks!!!!!

I will not be posting much here until my lovely daughter is home and I can hear her laughing in the next room.

Sorry for not posting sooner.
Rene is out of town and Fallon has been really sick.
Sleep has been at a premium for me.
Woke to snow and sunshine.
Fallon is starting to feel better.

Will post more in a day or two.

Peace.

The BIG Show

Fallon and her class put on an end of the year show for the parents. The show was entitled "The Kindergarten Zoo". All the songs performed had an animal theme. It was great and we were glad to have gotten back in time for it.

M'town Birthday Celebration

Fallon celebrated her 6th birthday in Marshalltown, Iowa. She requested Iowa Chops and homemade icecream for her big day.

Opening presents from Grandma and Grandpa.

More gifts!

Even more gifts.

The trip was a successful one as we helped in the moving process and I was able to at least finish 18% of the TIv2 course. Weather was great for the week and turned rainy for the weekend. Made it home safely with plenty of room in the van to spare.

Birthday in Detroit

We are visiting Detroit to celebrate Grammie's 60th birthday. Master Keagan stood by the door as we rang the door bell and hide from site. Needless to say, Grammie was quite surprised. We are going to spend the next few days relaxing in Detroit and may venture forth to visit the Henry Ford Museum.

Pictures of this should follow once we return home.

Weekend Review

Somewhat of another quite weekend here. On Saturday, I headed out for a bike ride while Rene and the children went the Haystack Mountain Farms. It is kidding season so the children got to see all the young goats in the nursery. I had the camera or there would be a picture or two. They had fun and brought home some good chevre. I was wooped after the day and not wanting to cook, we headed out for some mexican.

Sunday was cold and snowy, so we pretty much stuck around and got some things done around the house.

Fallon is on spring break this week. That means I have to come up with some creative things to keep us busy. We may head to the Children's Museum, Museum of Nature & Science, REI, Boulder, Denver Zoo, or Breckenridge.

We are in planning mode for the summer and started to pencil things in. Here are some things on the calendar: TransIowa, Northfork Blue Grass Fest, Crested Butte 100 miler, Austin, Imogene Pass Run, and WS100.
