Loving the Outdoors!

Hello and thanks for checking into the blog!

We have been keeping busy with Ellie and many other things. I (Dan) will soon be starting a new job on Sept 8th with an engineering firm called URS. I will continue with the GIS/mapping stuff. I am excited to have some new challenges. Michaella is going to slowly head back starting next week by working just 2 days a week for a short time. That should be a real adjustment. I think she might be ready to also speak with some grown ups. Although she has gotten very fluent in baby talk and nursery rhymes.
Eliana loves to get outside and recently I took her out to Fontenlle Forest for her first hike. We both loved it. She always seems to be enthralled and amazed with the great outdoors. The other benifit is that she seems to sleep really well after some fresh air. All the ladies at the nature center were really cooing over her and impressed that I had her out in the woods so soon. We hiked about 2 miles and saw a bunch of Turkeys. I am sure that we will have many more hikes in the future.
