A quick update.

So conferences have come and gone.  All good news from school.  We are so proud of Kylie!  She is beginning to read (a lot) and can figure out most 3 and 4 letter words on her own.  Her spelling is amazing and her number sense is excellent.  Keep it up Kylie!  

Addison has been walking for a month or so.  I think she realized that her world would increase ten fold if she would become more mobile.  So she did.  And you can tell how proud she is.  A little scary for us because she just goes, but really cool to see happen.

As for biking, I am feeling good enough to ride-a lot!  I have been getting on the mountain bike 4 times a week and starting to get a feel for the cross bike.  I was recently punished by Charlie as he lead me on a Cat 3 style ride-I think I did OK but my legs were sore!  I was slow to go but found my rhythm after 10 miles-and I need to train more!  Charlie can ride!  You know you are in trouble when they can sit and walk away from you as you are pounding...good stuff.  Good reference.

Kristi has begun her busy season at work so I will get to hang with the girls much more.  I know she loves this time of the year because of the sheer volume of customers and opportunities to do what she does best.  I also think the longer hours begin to wear on us all.  More coffee and all should be well.

until next-enjoy
