Well it has been quite some time since I last posted and it is now the Watkins familys' favorite time of year. Summer is just about over and we don't have to worry about oppressive heat for nine more months. Bring on that early season Colorado snow!
In the past month Cale and Maya have started school. Cale started soccer. Maya starts soccer tomorrow! Ruby graduated some sort of obedience training (don't expect great things when you see her next- just slightly better things) Oh and most importantly Grandma skipped a stone at least twice!
To go back to the dog class thing- I find it strange when the instructor calls me "Ruby's dad". Biologically it is impossible, right? And really when you have children I think it puts your pets into a different category. I love Ruby but I'm not her dad. I'm just an accomplice to her stupidity. I am her partner in testing the limits of Carrie's temper. Thats is all. I have no domain over her. Ruby is her own dog.
Some other interesting occurances in our life...
-Cale has already found his way to the principals office. He has a breakdown in PE class.
-Child Protective Services does a lot of good work I'm sure but they need to learn when then have been brought into a situation that warrants no attention.
-Aden still doesn't like to sleep
-Aden may decide to sleep if you vote for his favorite presidential candidate come election day. You'll have to ask him who that is, although I think he might go Nader... go ahead throw away your vote.
-I have sweet new shoes with bright orange laces.
