July fun

Here are a plethera of pictures for you viewing enjoyment.  Have I mentioned how much fun our street is?  There are so many kids!  We have made about 10 new friends just on our street!

 This kid is hilarious.  Still not talking...but loads of fun!

 Of course we have to start checking out the local attractions...

 I think that is a dog he is pointing at....

 Brooke could care less about the scenic views.  She found a pile of sand on the main walkway through the park and sat down and began digging...

 I bought this beauty at a yard sale for $5.  I almost forgot to take a picture, so it is partially sanded.

I painted it blue and did mint green harlequin diamonds on the top.  (The colors look a little off in the picture)

 I absolutely love it!

And the most exciting part of the post...I am set up to teach piano lessons in the fall!  I can't wait!

I only have 4 more spaces open!  It filled up faster than I thought.  If you know anyone in the Springs that wants lessons, send them my way!

Long time no post!

It has been almost a month.  For me that is practically an eternity for my history of blogging!  I have just been swamped!  We moved in to our new house on the 1st of July.  I absolutely love it here.  I promise I will get some pictures up soon.  I really haven't even had my camera out.  I have been editing pictures like crazy though.  If you want to see them, check out my photoblog here. I have been unpacking, organizing, scouring craigslist for furniture, and chasing the kids up and down the block on their bikes.  I have been discovering Ft Carson, and the cool things that the Post has to do.  We have met all of our super friendly neighbors.  They are awesome.  The only complaint I have about our house/neighborhood are the dogs next door/behind us.  Why does their owner think it is a good idea to let them out to bark at 4 a.m?  I wouldn't even know they had a dog if it wasn't for that.  It drives me nuts. 
  The kids are doing great adjusting.  I really don't think they have to 'adjust' at this age.  They just kind of go with the flow.  Heath is such a little helper right now.  He does laundry with me, picks up his toys and still can make a mess in about 1.5 seconds.  He is still super happy.  I am just waiting for him to speak.  He babbles but 85% of it is incomprehensible.  (to me anyway)  Brooke is sleeping a little more now that she has her own room.  She is obsessed with riding her bike and her and Peter are outside for about 4-5 hours a day.  I think that is contributing to her improved sleep...  Peter is doing better riding his bike too.  He is a little apprehensive on his 'big' new bike.  He goes at the speed of SLOW.  We have been going to Pueblo Reservoir every week to go wake boarding.  Peter got up on his knees on the knee-board yesterday!  He was SO excited!  Brooke knee-boards all by herself too, but she just stays on her tummy the whole time.  Heath is awesome in the boat.  For being so adventurous, he is a little afraid of the rocking and humming the boat makes, so he just sits as still as a stone in the passengers seat the entire time!
Bryan has been doing all of his 'in processing' but he starts seeing patients today!  I am pretty excited for him.  I think he is excited to finally get to start doing his job!  He has been able to come home for lunch since we have been here.  I have loved it.  Unfortunately I don't think he will anymore, but he does have pretty awesome hours.  He goes in at the crack of dawn and gets off somewhere around 3:30 or 4.   I promise I will take some pictures sometime soon!
