Exciting Email from Oma

Exciting news!!!  Monday morning the construction crew will begin the work.

Many , many thanks for your help and participation in this project. I plan to have Dad on the scene with his camera to tell the story in pictures. Tell the girls their click really paid off.

Thanks again.

Love to all,  Oma & Nonno

5 sets of feet and 5000 kilometers

We Finished!!!!

As of today, we logged 5000 self-propelled Kilometers.

I am so proud of the girls and how hard they have worked.

Why I love mornings

I am into my training plan for the Olympic Tri I will do in a few weeks. This morning was my long bike. The Dad thinks I'm nuts to get up so early in the morning but I love it.

I woke up this morning and the sky was crystal clear. I could see Orion sharp and clear above me and off to the South was a beautiful lightening storm.

I headed inside to check out 4 different weather sites to make sure that storm wasn't headed toward my ride route then I set off.


I had to stop and take this picture... Good Morning from the Lord!

Dancing Klicks

Little Bit is a tap dancing ballerina!

The bigs decided to stick with Gymnastics this year, but Little Bit opted for ballet and tap class. She is so excited!

Klicking our way to school

Down in sunny Texas, school is back in session!

The Big and Middle Bits are excited to go back and are ready to earn our steady 6 Klicks per day going to and from school.

Splash-n-Dash

The Big Bit swam/ran a kids Splash-n-Dash today. It is amazing to see her strength, courage and self assurance. She is not on swim team, she's not a runner. But she loves doing these races and trying her best.

Her swim was in a pool. Most of the kids are on competition teams but Big Bit held her own. She got stuck in a traffic jam but she didn't panic.

So very proud!!

Mad Dash Miles

Have you ever decided on a plan of action despite it being a bad idea... Then something unexpected happens that turns it into a really bad idea?

There was a heat advisory today but the girls were tucked away so I decided to bike to the gym, swim, then bike home. It's only 6km to the gym so I made sure I had plenty of water and set out. I had checked the weather, which is why I knew about the heat advisory.

As I'm swimming, I hear whistles but figured it was adult swim or something. No. It's thunder and we have to clear the pool and deck. I still have to bike home.


I made it, but I rode REALLY fast. This was the sky when I got home... with lots of rumbling behind me!
