Tour of the old stomping grounds

Quick stop by Das Chalet to mow and straighten up in hopes of renting it out this fall. Place looked great, beautiful day in the mountains!

Thence to Hygiene to visit Grandma Penny and Dan, and Apple the bear-chasing cow. We stayed in the trailer for the night...cozy

Good morning. No, no we didn't sleep well at all. Somebody is teething...

Grandma Penny shows off her massive wooden block collection. Trout loves visiting the farm!

Week of firsts!

Rose got out on her newly completed Redline for her 1st cyclocross practice session, learning how to do a running dismount, lift her bike over a barrier and then jump back onto the saddle, as quickly as possible...

Then the whole family got out for our 1st run with the baby jogger, and 1st run for Matt in at least 3 or 4 years. Of course it decided to rain as soon as we started but still fun to run together (heck do anything together) and plan some upcoming sports outings

Trout then learned to wave bye bye/hello and waved at Mamma for the 1st time...unfortunately he also caught his very 1st fever and had to stay home from daycare today. Only got up to 101.5 and he seems to be improving quickly but we got a taste of what he would be like if he actually slept as much as they recommend in the baby books, like 16 hrs instead of his normal 9 or 10

Trout also surmounted his 1st step, a single but still impressive. He can go up and down and in true Alford fashion going down he leads with his head...
