Plums

In case you're missing Maeser, the boy is rolling across the carpet singing a song about poop. Ugg. 4 years.

We went to dinner on Friday night to Wild Honey. We didn't have plans to meet up with friends, but Brother and Sister Lifferth texted like 30 minutes before to see if we had plans. We told them to meet up. And then like 5 minutes before they arrived they texted to say they were bringing some friends. Their friends ended up being a general authority and his wife, Brother and Sister Meredith. They were cool, but we felt super young. Everyone else has kids in HS and they are almost 50 years old. I felt like I didn't have anything to say. My salad kept me company- warm goat cheese. Mmmm.

He and Scout are becoming better friends, she is old enough to play (take orders) this year. She adores him, He watches out the window for the bus to roll in. It will be a lot of fun to have him home.

Dan had a race in Malaysia yesterday. I woke up at 4:30, he was supposed to leave at 4:00 and he was still in bed. He had decided to scrap the race (heard there were crocodiles in the water) and do the race on his own. I think it was 30% harder that way. He biked almost 60 miles, ran 11 and swam 1.3.  I was impressed, I would have skipped it all together.

Pictures from the first week of school. He looks thrilled.
