Back to blogging!

I have a lot of catching up to do but for anyone still following us and eager to see pictures I am working on it. Stay tuned. The pictures are now mostly all downloaded and much more accessible for me to put here on the blog. It is good to be back!

Camping in the Abajo Mountains

 

This nice campground is just 5 minutes from our house. We decided it was a safe distance to try camping with our kids. It was a really spontaneous decision to go. We quickly packed up the van on Friday night. Grabbed our tent and a few things to eat and set off for our first camping adventure with children. Micali and Eli both did great and thought camping was pretty cool. They especially liked the HUGE tent that we bought. They had plenty of room to run and play.
We forgot the pump for the air mattress and the ground was pretty uneven with just sleeping bags but, we all did manage to get a little bit of sleep.

Back to School 2009

 

Luke just finished his first week of school. Along with that comes a lot of time behind books and papers. Micali stole his book from him today and decided to tell him all about it. This year he is teaching an AP Literature and Composition class and their first novel is Tale of Two Cities. This is the one Micali is sure she knows more about then him!
So far all is well here in Buckaroo country. Luke has succesfully completed 3 days of coaching football. You should ask him how much background knowledge he has of this sport. Remember he is a wrestler. As I am currently blogging this he is digesting: playbooks, practice drills, and football vocabulary terms. I am proud of my "Coach" for being so willing to help out where he can!
Despite our aversion to watching much TV or sports we may just have to buy a TV and get a few channels to become better acquainted with Football. Besides football they are trying to get him to coach baseball in the spring. Oh help us! He has already told them "no" but only time will tell.
