This should be good for a laugh

Good Morning!

June's taken to feeding herself these days. At least on Friday's when daddy's home with her.

Hood River Cross Weekend

If anyone wants to come to Hood River Saturday or Sunday, September 20 or 21 and watch Samantha and I race and hang out with June you can! Just go here for directions and times for the races, etc. I race at 1:00 and Samantha at 1:55. If the kids want to do the kiddie race that's at 12:45. We are planning on camping at Tucker Park about .5 mi. south of Hood River if you want to make a weekend out of it. $20/nt to camp on Hood River, less for non-river camping, and they have showers too. It's a fun kick off to the season and not too far from Yakima, and even closer to Toppenish, hint, hint....
Hope to see you there!

I'm safer to be around now

I learned First Aid and CPR! Please don't feel like you need to test my skills though, I am perfectly happy if I never have to use any of it.

Here are some recent pictures of June for anyone that hasn't seen her in awhile. Enjoy.

At Cape Lookout State Park beach. She loves her dog!


Tummy time is good!


Reading with mommy.


Too HOT! Time to cool off in the pool.

Kermesse

I had my best start yet at a race this Sunday. Right off the front and I felt good the whole race. I will link you to the OBRA results but I apparently wore Samantha's race number, and she mine, so the results are a mess. Ooops! Hopefully my best race yet isn't lost forever. Samantha said she thought she was dying on the last lap and I can attest to her pale cheeks as she crossed the finish line. But she did cross the finish line. A little more conditioning should help. It was a great way to start the cross season off though and I'm looking forward to Hood River for a weekend full of racing and hopefully camping too. Two more Kermesse races left, though we'll miss the next one as we're going camping with Jeremy for his birthday again. Last year we happened on this great creek side campsite and drove up the way in the morning to a beautiful lake. This year we're camping at the lake. I want there to be a canoe for rent there but I doubt it. Samantha and I are going to take a basic skills canoe class next week so I'm a little anxious to get out on the water.

Cross Season is Raining at the Door

A week of rain in August? I guess that's Portland for ya...

It does however come conveniently at what has become the unofficial start of the cyclocross season, the Kruger Farm Crit Kermesse.

Between now and December we could be racing weekly! So, if you want to see us this fall check here and here, otherwise we'll see you next year.

xoxo, Tom, Samantha and June
