That's life...
Fluid - that's the word that best describes the past 10 weeks. Things have evolved so quickly. Calm and ordered are no longer appropriate...and I am A-OK with that.
KR continues to grow and express herself in amazing new ways. The eyes tell a lot, and her's speak volumes. Sometimes, that volume she's speaking is at level 10, but...for the most part...she continues to be a really good baby.
She is beginning to enjoy play time - her favorite toys are her 'crinkly' paged quacky duck book, her pink princess playmat, and her Bach, Beethoven, & Mozart mobile.
10 weeks old yesterday - outsiders say, 'enjoy this time because it is fleeting, etc.' but time seems to be in a slo-mo mode right now from my pov. Every day brings a new challenge or joy and we are just rolling with it all in stride.
Le Tour de France has started and KR and McWesson are heavily involved. Our favorite team is the Garmin-Chipotle squad. We are both very excited that, as of the completion of Stage 4, the 3 teams with the most open anti-doping policies are leading the team points contests (CSC, Columbia, and the aforementioned G-C). Knowing that the sport we love is cleaning itself up is quite satisfying.
It happens every year around this time...I start breaking the road bike out more and more. The heat coupled with the excitement of le Tour and this year's new edition making trips to the dirt a bit more complicated...the Orbea is receiving a lot of love right now.
The 4th was spent enjoying time with local family and friends - good fun was abundant and I did my very level best to keep my germaphobia in check as about 24 different hands found their way to KR. She did well though and my hang-ups should not automatically become hers, eh?
However, a long weekend would be complete without some time spent on proper MTB trails, no? As such, I made my way to the Noxubee Crest trail system that sits between Ackerman and Louisville, MS to met some buddies for what turned out to be an epic out and back on mostly new, to us, trails involving a massive frog-strangler of a storm that put the finishing touch on a great day. PERFECT!
I promise to get some new KR pics on here ASAP!
