We had a fairly busy weekend, but it was fun. On Saturday, we watched Gavin ride his bike all around the school by our house all by himself. He still needs a push off, but he's got the balance down pat. It was so cool to see him get it so quickly. Major props to Joi for teaching all of our kids how to ride bikes.
Saturday evening, we had plans to see a Rockies game with some friends from church. However, the Friday night game before that was rained out. So, they changed it to a double header...which meant that we could see either or both games for the one ticket price. So, we opted to see the earlier game (when the sun was out and it wasn't dipping into the 30's). The boys were mostly bored by the game, but they enjoyed eating lots of peanuts, M&M's, and licorice. The Rockies lost the first game 4 to 1....so we opted to stay for the first couple of innings of the second game to see if they could turn it around. By the time we left during the 3rd inning, it was 3 to 1 Rockies. They ended up winning that game 8 to 1. Oh well, the kids were getting antsy...so it was good that we left. We ended the evening by having a late dinner at Red Robin. On Sunday, we went to church in the morning and a quick lunch out. Then we took the kids to Apple Bee's to meet up with Steff and Russell, who were going to watch them overnight, so that we could go to our life group and the New Comer's Gathering at our Pastors House. Life Group was good and then we raced off to the Pastor's house and enjoyed talking with the pastor and his wife and the lead worshiper. It was good to have a conversation with them all without the craziness of a Sunday worship service. Afterward, Joi and I went home and crashed.
On Monday, I got up early and went to work. Joi and the boys (along with the Ferris family) all met me for lunch at Biker Jim's Gourmet Hot Dog Stand on 16th and Arapahoe in downtown. Joi shared a Wild Boar Brat with Gage. Garrison and Gavin shared a reindeer sausage. I enjoyed a reindeer, as well. The boar went over better than the reindeer, but they were yummy nonetheless. After our tummies were full, I took the family for a tour of my office and to meet some of my coworkers. It was nice to be able to introduce my wife and kids to some of my coworkers and student employees. Also, they got to see my new office for the first time, so that was nice. All in all, it was a busy but fun few days.

It was fun seeing where you work and meeting the people you work with. I enjoyed trying the gourmet hot dog, but I think I would rather a regular turkey dog with relish and ketchup! Yum!
It was the 18th. Sounds like you had a fun weekend too and that all is well. Tell me, when we were riding our big wheels and playing kickball on Fawn did you ever think we would be this old?
