New Family Members...Mikey & Bevo
Update 1/2/2011: Unfortunatly bringing in two aged cats into our home with another aged cat did not work out well and we had to give Mikey and Bevo up for adoption.
We are welcoming two new family members today. Mikey and Bevo are brothers that we have adopted from a family that was forced to give them up due to their daughters allergies. I have yet to meet them but Denise is already in love. I hope the "boys" can handle the kids this evening.

Andy, our other cat, is already thing to get them to play with him. Hope we can all assimilate quickly.
If you are interested, I have attached the letter the previous owner sent out via email.

10K Here I Come
I drove the 10K course I will be running this weekend and it's not too bad. There are a couple of hills, one within the last mile (ouch!), that will make for a good challenge. Most of the course is false flats.
I am looking forward to being done with the 12 week program. Running is really not my thing!
How many monkeys will fit in a barrel?
This picture cracks me up. It was taken by our friend who were watching the kids for us. One small barrel full of water equals a lot of fun. Notice how the three amigos are hogging the fun?

Blue Bonnets Galore
Today we went down the street to a local park and took some really great pictures in a field of blue bonnets. The kids had a great time and so did mom and dad.

You can see the pics here.
Lance Armstrong Sighting
This morning I was out on a training run, I am training for my first and maybe last 10K, on Spicewood Springs Rd here in Austin. I had just started my run and a car pulled over to the side of the road just in front of me. I thought they were going to roll down their window to ask me for directions. I heard another car coming up from behind so I turned around to look at the car as they drove by and then I saw a bike rider coming up behind the car. I quickly recognized the rider as Lance Armstrong.
This was the second or third time I had seen him out training so, you would think I wouldn't be star struck. What did I do....I yelled out "go lance". LAME!!!
Oh well. Maybe I will do better next time.
