UPDATES:

I haven't updated in a while. So, here we go:

Fourth of July we headed down to NC to visit family down there:
- Kids traveled very well on the way down. We were worried, but they did great!
- Stayed with my cousin in Raleigh. (Thanks April!)
- Took Jacob to see Cars the movie. I thought it was really good. Jacob seemed to enjoy it as well. We had to tell him to be quiet a few times. Anytime a new character was on screen he would yell the name. It was very cute.
- The movie theater was in a "New urbanism" style mall, very cool.
- Went and saw Doug, Becky and kids for a little bit. (Doug's restaurant is in the "above" mall.
- Had a bbq on the fourth. Wayne and his family came out for the bbq. Seems like Wayne and family are adjusting well to life in North Carolina.
- Jacob and Addicus had their first taste of bubble gum (not approved by the parents)
- Aunt Ruthie and Uncle John brought up some pork bbq (yummy, actually took the leftovers home!) They also brought blackberries from their farm... I forgot to have any...oops!
- Kids traveled well on the way home, maybe we'll start to travel a little bit more?
- All in all we had a great visit! (Thanks again April!)

I've been training. I started my training program I used 4 years ago. Watch out! I think I figured out how I can get the riding in. I've been getting up at 5:00 am to ride everyday. Which is a big deal for me, I love my sleep. I haven't been drinking beer after work either. OK, so I've only done 3 days of training in the am. I started with the "easy" week and it is putting me into some difficulty. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do the "hard" weeks...

The other night I was watching the Tour, fixing my rear wheel, it needed some TLC, and Kristen says, "You're doing that without drinking a beer?!?" Apparently, I usually work on my bike and watch the Tour while drinking a beer...

Mom called at lunch yesterday to tell me she has found her new house for our farm (Its been a pipe dream of mine to buy a farm and let my parents build a house on it). Anyway, her new house is pretty cool. Brent would love it, the floors are concrete!

I think that is about it for now. I've been meaning to do this blog update all week, but my lunches have been consumed by this:

I didn't know Acorn, Deck and Flatpak were related! Acorn catalogue used to cost $26--can just download Flatpak catalogue. Has the world really changed that much???

Those aren't suppose to be monsters. They're suppose to be fighting blue hens, and they are gaurdians of anyone who races under the "flag" of the DCC of D... (sounds good, huh?)

Yes mom the world has changed "that much" and proably even more.
