What Do You Do When You Don't Study?

We are going nuts with nothing to do! We are such nerds we can't even relax! We are sort of frustrated here in K'ville, but we decided to explore a new park, sans puppies, called Sugar Creek. It's a nice 2 mile hike with some really good hills and talk about secluded. There wasn't much wildlife to see, other then birds, but we saw a lot of deer tracks. We also saw the remains of a deer that was probably killed by coyotes or wolves. Picked pretty clean from the picture! We were glad not to have the dogs with us then, we never would have gotten them away from that stench!
We've really needed to get some stuff around the house done as well. I got the gutter cleaned and straightened, Mara did some vacuuming, we rearranged our bedroom a little to put the bed by the window. We also bought a fire pit so we can relax outside with a fire on a cool night, just like we do at Dan & Holly's. We did find some time to throw a baseball around and went for a really good run/workout/racquetball session. It felt really good to burn off some of our anticipation for school!
We also found a new toy for Lucy. It's a stuffed beaver we call Chompers. Like Nate's squirrel he brought to her in Nebraska, Chompers lasted all of about 10 minutes before we had stuffing covering our floor. I do think Chompers won in the end though...
Hope everyone had a great week at work (HaHa). We are heading to Kansas City to hang out with Tim & Allison at her brother Rob's house. Should be a lot of fun! They have a really good coffee place called The Roasterie (FYI, our Alterra Coffee supply is getting painfully low...). Should be a lot of fun to get out of K'ville! Enjoy the pictures!

Also for you amusement, here is Lucy destroying Chompers. The video is sped up (Idea from Cousin Cari) so Chompers lasts all but 1.5 minutes:

Looks like Lucy's keeping her bandage on (at least for the most part). I hope she heals up soon so you guys can get out more!
