looking out the window, wishing that the summer hadn't gone by so quick. Not that it wasn't exceptional, it was just too darned quick...and things don't seem to be slowing down at all either. I already have plans well into October!
I have been taking the kids to music lessons for the past few months. Every Tuesday. They seem to get cranky about going, but always have a real good time once they get there. Not sure if I had mentioned that when Nathan was up here last month, we all took an instrument and formed a "band!" The instructor was quite impressed with Nathan's guitar playing. Last night it was Megan on drums, Elizabeth on keyboard, and William on guitar...quite a joyous cacophony! Elizabeth would look over at me and wink at me, big ol' smile on her face, William was hitting the chord changes right on time, and Megan was bobbing her head and banging on the drums doing her best to keep time for "the band." Totally fun to watch!
Woody and I are going to the Wallowas soon. He has quite an ambitious itinerary for us it seems. I am getting stoked for that. I need some time in the backcountry. Must remember to bring some hunter orange to wear...not wanting to get shot at. I wish Sandy could go. Other than that, MPK and I have plans to go hiking in a few weeks, most likely a day trip unless I can talk Sandy and him into an overnighter.
As for the group I am working with here in Seattle, they are moving forward gangbusters. Quite fun, but a lot of work.
Well, thats about it for the news. Back to work for this kid. I will try not to stare out the window....
