Look at those guys; they're brothers. They're going to be best friends.

This Simple Life VII
This Simple Life VII
HOOO-WEE! Summer's rollin like a '77 Malibu on Route 66. Soft ride, plenty of space, way too fast. Carbondale feels good, as any home does after being away for a while. We've ventured on a few camping trips, and one road trip to Big Sky for a friends' wedding. But mostly we've been here in Carb-dale. Three rivers and endless trails, fun mountain music festivals, fresh veggies and grilled meat, road trips to magic places. It's been a summer full of action and relaxin'; just the way we like it.
I have been busy cleaning windows (my summer gig) and teaching English night classes. I'm mad about my mountain bike and kayak. These enable me great adventures in short bursts, calming my wild spirit and allowing me to function normally in everyday situations. In between, I have found many long afternoons to play with action heroes, trains and mini-footballs.
My sweet bride is strong and beautiful as ever. She's found her groove as a mother, and proves adept at taking good care of us guys-- nurturing and feeding us, not putting up with our B.S., and making us laugh every day. She spends her time outside with the boys, walking with friends, or in the pool. Never an open water-girl, she swam her first mile yesterday! Continuing to possify the impossible, that's my girl.
Eliot is growing fast and coming alive. He's in a perpetual state of googling wonder, and offers a huge smile to anyone who stops to say hello. He just lays wherever we put him, in wide eyed amazement, marveling at things like ceiling fans, paper, wind chimes, ribbons and grass. Nothing like the eyes of an infant to remind us of the miracles we walk amongst every day. He's darn cute, too.
Talon continues to be, well, TALON. Floating around like a kung-fu butterfly; taking in and taking on everything he comes across. He's in full-parrot-mode, trying on words five at a time. Despite his apparrent distractedness, he is a two-foot learning machine. For example, on Thursday he learned three new things; 1) How to peel a banana 2) How to do a somersault, and 3) How to start the car. He loves me and remains my trusty sidekick. I can hardly imagine a world without him. Despite his very small stature, he seems to hold everything up.
That's Us. More and more, I feel like an ordinary guy living an ordinary life. Life is ordinary, but so extraordinary, isn't it?. We're just happy to be healthy and happy and part of such a incredible tribe. Mountains of love to all y'all.
