Wow! An Update

5 months since last update - so figure it is time. Kids, a job and finishing up the house all but consumed every waking moment this past summer. Someday I will get around to finishing up the story on that blog...for now, still working on some final projects. Will eventually get around to having some sort of open house party. We went to a halloween open house party at a house down the street from us that was finished recently - and it was cool to see how it really has a neighborhood feel around here. The blocks around us really came to life on halloween.

Anyways - here is a slew of pics from the past few months.

Playing in the snowbanks of leaves that line the streets...

Connor at the Last Fling downtown - he was more than eager to ride the coasters and rides this year...Carter was having none of it.
