This week we have had some fun stuff going on. I got an amazing package in the mail from my friend Peg. I don't have time to give it the "Oh's and Ah's " that it deserves tonight, so it will wait until this weekend when I have sunlight for better photos and more time to compose.
Another exciting thing happened on Wednesdy evening. The American Cycling Association held a special event to raise money for Junior Cyclying in Colorado. Michael Aisner from Coors MCed the event. The cycling giants included Tom Danielson, Ron Keifel, Alexi Grewal, Andy Hampsten, Connie Carpenter, and Ned Overend. All of these folks have placed and/or won major cycling events, like the Tour de France and the Olympics. (Colorado seems to have one of the highest numbers of cycling giants living in one place - Boulder- in the world - very lucky for us.) Ellie and her friend Emily were offical greeters. Ellie became friends with Connie Carpenter and the girls got to sit with the speakers. Connie took Ellie's poster, wrote a short note, signed it and passed it around. Now Ellie has this amazing signed poster from the event. SHe could nor be more pleased. In the picture above you can see my kids, their friend and Connie (The kids were happier than they looked - it was WAY past their bedtime and were little zoombies). Ethan got to keep an eye on the silent auction goods, making sure nothing gets stolen. He loved having a very real and important job to do. He made friends with the Accelerade Sports drink guy and had a lot of fun with him. We are still waiting for figures to come out, but I think it was a really successful event.
