Playhouse Coop

The chicken coop is almost done!

Claire, Office Acrobat

Her first mistake was telling us that she could do a back bend. It was slow at the office, so it didn't take long for Linda and I to convince her that she should demonstrate.

My Bus Stop

Not too exciting today. This is where I stand and wait for the bus every day after work. However, I did discover that you can flip images backwards in my camera before you take them. If you are familiar with this stop outside Schmidtz Hall, you will notice that everything is backwards.

Bus on Fire!

This was the excitment for the day at my office. The engine on a Metro Bus caught fire just ourtside my office window. It is abit hard to see given the pitiful zoom on my camera phone, but you get the idea.

Kids playing @ REI Seattle

Keegan was having so much fun he refused to come down. I had to crawl inside the kid sized labarynth and escort him down the slide so we could continue shopping.

At the Park

Katie Jean had Dr appointment this morning so I went with and took the kids to a nearby park while we waited. What fun it is to watch them play together.

Yankee Doodle Dash

We borrowed this double stroller so we could actually run. We let Fiona get out for the last block and a half and she sprinted all the way to the finish line!

Keegan was determined to get a head start.

Katie Jean and Fiona wait for the start of the 1 mile fun run.

Long day at the Beach

Shopping with Grandma

We had a wonderful time at Mitosis 2008 and Fiona and Keegan stayed with Grandma overnight. On her way back with the kids on Saturday, she thought it would be fun to take the kids to Costco. Things started out great with the kids sharing samples.





Then it started to go downhill when Keegan decided that he didn't want any hugs.


Grandma decided that it was time to leave the store and head on to Monroe before he had a meltdown. Once in the parking lot, she gave them each a chocolate chip cookie, which cheered Keegan up right away.

Keegan continued to devour his cookie on the short ride to our house. However, when he finally got here, we wondered how much of the cookie actually made it into his mouth.

They brought in the big crane early this morning. It looks like they are working on supporting the brick facade before they tear into the roof.

Wow! I am gone for one week and they have half the building torn down.

Boulder Creek Trail

There is creek trail that runs through the heart of Boulder and passes right behind the conference Hotel. On teh one day that we finished before sundown, I took a walk down the trail to the east edge of town. When the sun dropped behind the mountains on my way back to the hotel, I snapped this shot.
