Olivia Toothless Wonder - Live from FL

After DAYS and DAYS and DAYS of a dangling, periodially bleeding tooth that caused lots of whining and pain for all - Olivia's second front tooth finally fell out (literally) at dinner.

Here is her new look!!

School is out! But where is summer?

School is over, but is sure doesn't feel like summer outside. On Sunday we're headed to the beach for some fun in the sun and WARMTH! We are all very excited. Here are some pictures from the last week of school. Olivia said she's excited about Florida, but didn't want school to be over.

We had her class picnic on Wednesday and the weather was cool, but sunny.

Carina was long for the fun too. She even played in the dress-up relay.

Carina took this picture of Olivia and I this morning before Olivia left for school.

Olivia made this card for her teacher yesterday. The inside said "I'll miss you Mrs. Thiel." Look at the sad, sad face she drew on the back. Those are some heavy duty tears! I asked Olivia if anyone cried today when school ended and she told me that her and some of her friends were crying inside their heads. Why can't she do her whining inside her head too?

Trek 100!

It took us a little over 6 hours of ride time to finish our 100 mile ride today. Here are some pictures from the "non-waterproof" camera before the start. The weather was 55 (at best), windy, and included a few rain showers.


It's always good to have the appropriate footwear.



Make sure you put the wheel on right Chris. Look at those flames - he must be fast.

Dad and I ready to roll. Too bad I decided not to take the jacket - we were periodically FREEZING.

Guy - can you even fit those arm warmers over those huge pipes?

Karina the super-rider.

It's been a looong time!!

There are several updates to share - I've been to London on business, turned 36, Matt's turned 40!!, the Trek 100 Ride is this Saturday - Dad and I are both riding - AND NATE donated his hair to Locks for Love.

In London on the Thames River.
