On the Road Again

Last weekend, Tess and Jacob took their moms on a shopping trip to Colorado. They were delighted. Tess (and her mom) thought Gena's mini van was cool becuase you sure can store lots of toys and strollers and juice and balloons in it. In fact, Tess was lucky Gena was in charge, because, once again, Tess's mom is a slacker when it comes to being prepared for trips with kids!

Miscellany

It has been hard to find us in one place recently, so here's some miscellany to fill the void. This is what normally happens when I try to take pictures of the horses.
Latest construction photo, on the inside we have beams and a fireplace!
Tess is a big help in the kitchen, here we are making chicken and dumplins'. She got to help make Valentines for servicemen & women this weekend and thought that was fun. Last week she got some pet fish and this is a big highlight. She loves to watch, count and feed the fish.
Eric has been working hard and working with the contractors on house decisions. He is patient with Tess and they like to play airplane and ball in the evenings.
Two weeks ago I flew to Oklahoma City to argue a case in front of the 10th circuit court of appeals. I spent about 24 hours in Oklahoma to argue for 15 brutal minutes. But I relish the experience.
Tess has a new cousin Joseph who has had to spend some nights in the hospital, but we are thankful everything is ok and we hope to go visit him sometime soon.
