Sweet bike for sale! The snow will be no extra charge. Stupid Texas weather, I hope we get three feet of snow. Kota isn't sure what to think about the snow, but she will fetch a snowball. What a good dog.

Surprise Daddy!
Poppy and I left friday night to visit Lucas. The weather was cold and rainy and the roads were supposed to be very slick and icy. This did not deter us in any way, I had all weekend to get to the Falls. Aside from some icy bridges in Sherman, the roads were dry and it was a fairly uneventful drive. Earlier in the week when I talked to Mommy (Lucas' mommy) on the phone she said they had a surprise for us.
When Lucas, Poppy and I returned to Mikes house I set him down to stand at the coffee table as usual, but instead of plopping on his butt and crawling, he walked over to the tv stand like it was nothing! I couldn't believe my eyes. So I went to the middle of the room and sat down, and he walked straight over to me. Apparently, Mommy has kept this a secret since the 13th so that I would be surprised. I was very surprised, and giddy with excitement all weekend. The kid is a walking fool, and he can even stand up on his own. He was so much fun this weekend, he is picking up all kinds of tricks and very quickly turning into a little boy. We had our late night parties as usual, and it was nice to have Poppy around so I could shower and do things that are hard to squeeze in when I have Lucas! We went shopping at all the manly stores, Academy, Old Navy, and of course Shoe Carnival, and did manly things like watching 24hrs of Daytona (for most of the 24hrs) and drinking lots of chocolate milk. Lucas is turning into quite a young man, and its easy to tell Mommy works with him a lot. He understands "no," and sometimes he will test you but otherwise listens. I swear he says "thank you" when we play the sharing game, and the kid eats more than I do! All in all it was great weekend. Below is a video of Lucas walking.

January was a busy month for me and I was only home on one weekend. I have been playing catch up my training from being sick, and went down to Kerrville TX for a training camp. I only made the last two days of the camp, but it was a blast. Saturday we rode 105 miles in the hill country, and I quickly learned that I was lacking endurance. The last thirty miles were hard, but I survived and feel stronger already. My first race is in less than three weeks. I have a very strong team, and am excited to mix it up again with the top guys in Texas racing. It is a good feeling to train, and feel yourself getting stronger and faster. It's been a few years since I have had that feeling!
Lucas also turned one, and thats hard to believe. Makes me think about how much my life has changed in the passed year, and how much Lucas has changed. We didn't have an official birthday party yet, but he did get to play in some cake. He has enjoyed all of his birthday presents so far, especially the cards as you can see in the video. This post is long enough already, I hope you enjoy the video, one of these days I will get some more pics posted!
