Old man and his young beautiful trophy wife

Here is old man withers.
I got this new cane at the store today because I am getting sick of the old crutches. They irritate me pretty bad. This new cane is awsome and I get nodded at by all the old men. I even started wearing my pants up higher, its quite comfortable.
Also here is the updated picture of Robyn's beautiful belly at 36.5 weeks. Tomorow is our next doctors appt. and we are going to register at the hospital so when the time comes close we are all ready to go. Saturday is our first childbirth class also and we are excited for that so we can learn about what to do.
Lastly we have a beautiful picture of the delicious chicken dinner we ate tonight.mmmmm

BRoken Leg

Well as some of you may of heard, I Was riding yesterday and crashed and skinned up my knees, but after I fell due to technical problems with my bike, my buddy who was behind me (250lbs) hit my leg and flew off his bike. I couldnt walk and my bike was thrashed so he rode back to the house and got his van and came back to pick me up. I got home an was laughing as Robyn helped me clean up the blood. I was pretty embarrassed and couldnt beleive I had caused such a pileup. Well last night I couldnt sleep and my leg hurt so bad that I cant stand on it or walk or anything so robyn has been pushing me around the house on the computer chair with wheels. Its nice that I have Robyn to help me do stuff. So Today I went in to get Xrays and sure enough as you can see in the picture, its a broken Fibula. They arent going to cast it. Dad can check out the Xray pics and tell me what to do I hope. But we are in good spirits and I am sure that my Nintendo is going to get a bunch of use this week.

Christmas Pics

So here are some pics from our stay up in Canada for Christmas. I am not sure why it took so long for us to post these. We were there for about 10 days and it was a ton of fun to be with everybody. We got some snow and that was awesome. So refreshing to be in -14! The pics of me and Libby are the night she went to the hospital and 2 days later had Taylor. I had asked her that day to please have Taylor when I was there. She's so sweet to do that for me. We got to finally spend some time with Newbie. I have to say that he and I had some good lines on X-mas eve day at church..you know the ones, Newbie. And of course it was awesome to finally meet little Natalie! She is so sweet and such a little beauty! We love her! We had a blast and miss you all and love you so much!

Les Miserables

We are sick and miserable. We are both home with head colds and sinus headaches. We have been home sick for a few days now. I think it must have been all the traveling around and coming in contact with quite a few people.
We talked to a lady about childbirth classes yesterday and we were all stoked about it untill she asked us to not call her by her name Martha but rather use her "new name" Malu... we were fine untill she said..."it means PEACE, I am trying to bring that into our classes man"... well we are not the biggest hippy fans so now we dont want to go to her classes. She even wants to come by our house... Yeah rite, she isnt getting in this house... not untill she showers and cuts off her dreads and changes her name back. oh yea and she wants to have potlucks every week... what are weirdo... no offense to all you who read this and are hippies.
It was good to be in the mainland for a few weeks. We had a good time seeing everyone in San Diego and Calgary. You know who you are...

Melia has had the hickups lately and she has them rite now in fact. She had them three days in a row now... Accordin to the book we have she is almost five pounds now...
Well we are going to try to get to church for a half hour or so.

Have a good sunday

in the works

Coming soon, the holiday update...

A nice walk

Today we went for a walk. Robyn in her walking shoes and I on dad's bike. the wind howled like a madman, the cold nipped at our faces and froze them off. We got to a section in the walk where we had to go up a steep icey embankment. robyn walked into the bush and I rode up the ice. We both made it home ok and still alive in most extremities, however Robyns detour caused a large laceration in her shin. Blood was gushing out everywhere and freezing in the air, that is why we never saw it untill we came into the house and thawed out. Luckily there is Doctors in the family because she needed stitches.

On a different note, last night Robyn went to this really expensive restaurant and ordered a salad. It came out on a huge massive plate, but the salad was like three leafs and two strips of beef. She was unsatisfied with dinner but paid like 30 bucks for it. so retarded!!! After she went to the ballet, the Nutcracker... after 15 minutes libby started to have some trouble... she had a kidney infection and started to get a fever and have contractions... she couldnt breath and cried. Robyn had to rush her to the hospital and she got hooked up to the iv and all that... Sean met her there and Robyn met me at libbys and I drove her home...

Go check it out

I just added our newest blog to my bike racing blog accidentaly... so check that one out for now. Sorry

All Alone

I (DAN) am alone now at the house. Robyn has gone to california for her baby shower and left me here all alone. So I am trying to stay busy. I was supposed to work a little today but its been pouring rain for hours, so unless it slows down a bit I dont want to leave the house. I have been making some home movies/slideshows and trying to post them but the computer keeps freezing. anyways you can always check the other blog where I write about my training. later...

Fiji Slide Show

Robyn and I lived here for a while and had lots of memories. this is for Robyn. I love you

The Book Worm

We were reading in the pregnancy book about week 29 and Kai jumped up and took over. He obviously doesnt want us to read when he is around.

Ode to the Coqui Frog

So I thought I should post a pic of the little frogs that make where we live so loud. They are so tiny yet have such a loud chirp. So this is what you hear when you call us at night. These are the reason I am always saying What? on the phone. They seem to be amplified when I am on the phone. I don't think any of our visitors actually saw one but they sure heard them!!

Happy Turkey Day

Hope everyone had a good Turkey Day! We had a nice sunny beach day over here. Dan went surfing later in the day and I just hung out on the beach and got even tanner. We cooked an 8lb turkey along with stuffing, roasted potatos and onions, green bean casserole, sparkling apple cider and of course pumpkin pie for dessert. This was our first Turkey Day actually spent together. I left Dan in Fiji last year and went to the mainland for Turkey Day. We had a fun day and Dan even had a turkey feast for the kitters!!

Surfing Melia

This is the crib bedding Dan surprised me with a few weeks ago. He found it on line and ordered it. I had my eye on something else but when this got here I really liked it. Now I just have to find sheets and blanket to go with it. I want to get a surfboard shaped rug to put in there and these cute surfboard shelves and corkboard for pics. Dan is already talking about making Melia a little surfboard!! Thanks for the great surprise, Dan! It looks awesome. Sorry the pics are a little blurry. I don't feel like going and taking more and re posting them!

Surfing Day

So last Sat Dan and I went to the beach so he could surf and I could catch some rays. This is where Dan and Mike surfed and tore up some waves. I had never been here and it was a pretty cool spot. You can see this spot on the way out of Hilo crooing the first bridge. After this beach we went to another one nearby where we swam around although I didn't get any pics of that one. I think I saw Dan catch a few waves but I wasn't really sure if that was him. It was a great day and really made me appreciate the beauty of where we live.

More cute trip pics

Here are some pics of Nash with the kitters toys. He loved playing with their toys and loved just watching them. I think they were trying to figure out why this little person had their toys!! it was so cute and I love these pics. So I think everyone can start shopping at Petco for Nash! Also some good ones of Karyn and Mike the night they went out on the town! I can't believe that went by so fast!
