Luckily, though, we're not dead! Right now, however, we are all over the place. Dad is in Washington DC for the week at a conference meeting important people! He admitted today that it wouldn't be so bad if one of his children ended up living there. We'll have to see about the humidity...
Before he left yesterday for DC, Dad was supposed to participate in a 100k bike ride with Mom. However, due to a poorly timed illness, Mom had to do it on her own. 62 miles, 5000+ feet of climb, and 6 hours later, she was done! Here's a picture from a few weeks before the race when she and Dad were training together.
While Mom and Dad have been exploring the world and having adventures on wheels, Eliza, Luke, and Tess have been working through another semester at BYU. Eliza has one more semester before she'll graduate and Luke and Tess aren't even ready to think about that right now. They've been doing their best to have some fun every once in a while, though. Occasionally they even spend time with cousins!
Levi has been swimming his heart out since his siblings all left him with nothing else to do. Just this last weekend he broke his personal record for the 500 yard freestyle event with a 5:14-something. He just keeps getting faster! A few weekends ago, Mom, Dad, Jo (Tess's friend who is practically a part of the family), and Levi went out to Utah for LDS General Conference. Although very few pictures were taken, everybody had a blast, even though very little sleep was gotten. :)
Marta is still working hard in Mexico City. For an update on her life, see her blog (updated weekly by Mom).
Basically, our lives have just kept being busy and semi-crazy, but that's okay! What's life without a bit of adventure?
