This is what determination can achieve...

We all had an(other) exhausting weekend...

Erik and I participated in a 200 mile bike relay race from Boise to Sun Valley this past weekend. We were part of (separate) teams of 4, with Iris as the mascot for Naya's girls team. It was a long (and rainy!) day of racing but the company was good, and the scenery was breathtaking. Now we're back home and we're ready to collapse.

Iris can crawl - sort of.

2 months ago, Erik was wishing Iris would learn how to crawl - I warned him, it would be harder to leave her alone when she learned, but he didn't believe me. Well.... NOW he knows what I'm talking about.

Look! I've got new Crocs.

We bought some knock-off Crocs in Thailand for Iris (to match my blue crocs), and she's ALMOST big enough to fit them. Probably about the time she's walking, they'll fit. (perfect)

Iris tries to pet Sophie (again)

Iris and Erik working hard...

or hardly working?


Erik's mobile bike service business is booming - and this is how he takes care of Iris while getting his work done. She loves hanging out with Daddy, and she'll probably know more about bikes than her mom does by the time she's 2!
