Mom, I might have deleted your post before it posted yesterday. Sorry, but yeah, we should try the webcam again.

Nope, Allison is still Allison and Alli will still be Alli. Yesterday, I posted Allison's (Devin's wife) request to know how Alli was doing...

Let's see, today we ended having to go into town to get some paperwork in order. The neighbors who we haven't met came over and we talked a while until they had to take off to Roswell...

Bastian is talking way more these days. He is saying some sentences that mostly have to do with how crazy he is. He's got way too much energy for Alli and I. It's funny to hear him attempt a sing-a-long with whatever is playing and our new little ritual is right before bedtime, he and I will sit in the sofa chair together and watch the Galileo baby Einstein movie. It settles him down nicely, even though it is about 9:30 at that point.

Today I welded up a little monkey bar play thing for Bastians playhouse that we'll start building tomorrow. He needs someplace comfortable while Alli and I work up at the site. Every time we settle in, he ends up running down the mountain towards the house and one of us has to leave. I also started encasing our windmill pole in cob that will end up like a totom pole with faces on it and stuff. We decided that we needed a fire pit up there too, so I started building a cob bench to encircle the pit....I'll take some pics and post...maybe.

So per Allison's request, Alli is doing fine. She's basically sick daily, but it seems to be less frequent...or maybe she's just hiding it. Her mom wants her to go up to San Fran to visit...I don't know if I'm supposed to go.

I thought of a new phrase today, poop knuckle. Put that in your diaries.

I know I cant be the first one to post that the Cardinals did what I never thought was possible....good for them. Today, the three of us went for a hike early in the morning. We went less than a quarter of a mile and then sat down and threw rocks at a dead old tree. I decided to head back on my own to do some "work" while Bastian and Alli continued on. Once they arrived, they helped me toss rocks and move dirt and then we had a small lunch of veggie dogs roasted over an open fire (mmmm). I headed down to the house after that with Bastian and tried to put him to bed, but he had different ideas, so we played for the next two hours while mommy continued working up at the library/guesthouse. Once she came down, Bastian played with her for a while and tried to fix our little website project, but that didn't work out too well cuz Google sucks. I'll have to wait and see if it corrects itself over the next day or two. Once Bastian finally fell asleep after punching me in the face, Alli and I did a search for au pairs. We found a great site that had a substantial list of willing candidates that want to come and work for room and board to learn English and go to school at the CC. Nice. We'll see if it all comes together once I leave for school (if I'm accepted).
Good times, great oldies....
