Lots to catch up on, so let's get started.
First off, a brief Allie report. She's growing up big and strong, loves climbing and running and jumping and dancing. She's definitely aware of what she wants and doesn't want, and won't hesitate to make her unhappiness known. But aside from brief flurries of unhappiness, she's really doing well. She's talking a lot, starting to use multi-word "sentences" and communicating very well. Good times all around.
I just got back from a brief weekend Mammoth fly-fishing trip, celebrating the first of Iwan's two bachelor parties. I don't know how many bachelor parties that guy is going to have, but as long as I'm involved, the more the merrier. Norm, Eryn, Mick and I drove up on Thursday night. I spent that night and the following morning not feeling very well, probably because of the altitude change, but for some reason really turned a corner and felt fine for the rest of the weekend. Fishing was a huge success. We played many board games, including multiple instances of Pandemic, a team game where the object is to contain an outbreak of various diseases before they spread out of control. Very topical.
Upon arriving back, I was introduced to a game called "Subbuteo". I've never heard of this game, but apparently it's been around since shortly after World War II. It's essentially soccer, played with tiny little figurines. You use your finger to flick a figure, and in that way, dribble, pass, and shoot a soccer ball. It's really a ton of fun. Baditude is thinking about setting up a friendly little league, and we're all fired up on buying our own teams and stuff. It's good times.
Mike and Gwen are in town for the week, shopping for houses. They are over right now, along with Baditude and Trisha watching Lost. Apparently there was some unfortunate confusion on Eryn's part that resulted in his cable being turned off and Lost being missed. Luckily for them, we have it recorded. It's great, as always, to see them both. I really look forward to them moving into the neighborhood. They put an offer down on a house nearby, which is awesome.
That's the bulk of the news for now. Hope you, dear reader, are doing well!

Lucky for us indeed! Thanks for saving us!
We don't know quite what we'll do next season when we can actually watch "Lost" on Wednesdays...EVERY Wednesday!
We're so used to watching it Thursday nights because it doesn't become available on iTunes until Thurs AM here.
Our heads may explode from that US-Europe difference alone.
Thanks again!
Gwen
