So once again I've fallen off of the bloggin wagon. It used to be much easier to keep up with this when I had our dog Molly because I would walk her in the morning and then blog. (Molly was considered my dog because she was my idea). Duncan and Dougal have each other for excercise so they don't need the same attention. That and I wake up to workout now. I do miss that un-interupted time of quiet in the morning though. The dogs are too big to walk at the same time in the morning by myself too.

Anyway, what have we been up to? I got a fishing license last week. I had to pay out of state prices because I have to live in Colorado for over 13 months to get in-state. So 67 dollars later I had my fishing license. We then went up to Echo Lake towards the top of Mt. Evans to go fishing. It was about 85 degrees last Saturday when we went but whe we got to Echo Lake it was 60 degrees and we were all to cold to stand still fishing so we went for a hike instead. The boys and I might try again today. We'll see.

Works been good. It's busy and there's something different everyday. It looks I may be spending a lot of time on the east coast next year. The house still hasn't sold but there may be a light at the end of tunnell in regards to that via work. I'll share more on that if "it" truly happens. I'm gaurdidly optimistic.

All-in-all things have been pretty good. Cherity and I have been working out a lot. I guess it's somewhat of a surrogate activity for social interaction. Cherity's already shed like 20 pounds and my endurance and strength level have been rising. Cherity's been pretty religous about exercising, much more so than me anyway. The place we go is called 24 hour fitness and they have a kids club where they watch your children while you workout for a small monthly fee. Definitely worth the money. The boys tend to like it too.

Still biking to work. It's a short ride and the fitness place is close so I can get in a short workout during lunch sometimes. We've been looking at houses either to rent or buy so my bike ride could get drastically longer than the 1.2 miles it is today. That's all a ways down the road though.

I just asked Sebastian what else we've been up to and he just reminded me that we went to the science museum yesterday and that he and I rolled his toy Hot Wheels truck back and forth on a table while we waited for Cherity and Owen. Seb and Owen both tried to blow bubbles at the science museum as well. Also we had dinner with another home school family Friday night. Sebastian said he "didn't know they had two cats... one was not so furry and the other one was really furry". I'll try to post more.

Here's some pictures:

Didn't make it to the top of Mt. Evans this time. Still needed to go another 4-5000 feet yet.

Hello! Hello! We're missing you guys today. Did you have a good time to the Rockies game? Do you have pictures for the boys to see?
