August 2010


Here we are another month has come and gone in what seems like a flash. August has been pretty slow for us. It's my birthday month, and Kib surprised me with a dinner party at one of my favorite restaurants. Adults only, it was great. My dear friend Tracy was nice enough to watch the boys for us so that Kib could take me shopping at the mall. It was really the perfect day.
Both of the boys started school this month. Zane goes to preschool 3 mornings a week, with the same teachers as last year. He loves it, and I love the time with just Ryder. One Tuesdays and Thursdays Ryder and Zane are doing a preschool co-op that I started with some friends. It's great, 6 kids, 4 families, so I only have to teach every 4 weeks. The rest of the time they go elsewhere and I get 2 hours to myself. Wow. It's amazing! I taught this past week and the kids LOVED my marching band. It was such a hoot. I really enjoyed the time with them.
We have had the most bizarre weather here this month. With cooler weather, high humidity, and lost of awesome storms. The boys love playing in the rain.
And when it's too awful for them to play outside, they usually get into lots of fun with all their dress-ups. Occasionally they even play nice together. This is a rare moment, so I had to capture it on film.That's all in Reed news. Kib and I are training hard for our century coming up in November. Our fabulous friends have all taken the boys here and there for us so that we can get our long rides in. To say that we are blessed, doesn't even begin. Great kids, great friends, great life.
