School Days

Luke and Logan started school today. It is the first time they are going to a school program...ever...since they were born...sniff. Luke goes every weekday from 8:30 to 11:30 and Logan goes two days for the same time. They were so excited last night they had trouble settling down. They even got an encouraging call from Mickey Mouse as well as some Skype encouragement from Grams and Grandpa. At the drop-off they did wonderfully. Logan hugged me for a minute then off he went playing. I hung around in Luke's room for about 5 minutes then he told me he was ready for me to go. So I went...at pick up, they had their projects and stories and Lukey checked to make sure he got to go back tomorrow...one sleep...good. Luke got pizza for breakfast which I thought was interesting and that is pretty much the first day.



Beastly!

Beets that is - - the farmer's market is in full swing and man, is it a good year. There is an abundance of everything...tomatoes the size of one's head, greens, summer squash, and wonderful beets, 4.5 pounds in one bunch!!! Thank you rain :)



Another group of beasts to note are our new chickens (new since June but who's counting). We got four Black Brahma hens. They are very friendly and one might even call them pushy and obnoxious. They will beg food off of an innocent person trying to eat outside. As the photo below shows, they also take a look in the house for goodies (although they have never actually come in thankfully) . They do a good job of giving us great eggs for all their personality it has been great fun having them.

Mountain biking

I thought it would be a fun activity to buy a lift pass at Angel Fire and ride down. It was a lot of fun but what I did not realize was that this was actually a sport unto itself called downhill with special equipment. Needless to say, it was a little scary. Here we are after we did a full day of biking
