Hello, Blog

Hello blog!

I haven’t forgotten about you. I just haven’t had the energy to pay you the attention you deserve.

Best Weekend Ever ‘08 is in the books. Mike and Gwen stayed with us for two whole weeks, which was a real treat. Not only to spend time with them, but the whole gang hung out almost every day. Flag football was played, and no one got hurt. We drafted our Fantasy Football teams, and so far I’m not disappointed. We BBQ’d and swam in various pools in various mansions. Lots of games were played, both video and board. Really good times all the way around.

Our kitchen is done! It took about two or three times as long we were told, but I padded my expectations by about double, so it worked out ok. We’re really, REALLY happy with the results. Here are some before and after pictures (please indulge me showing off a little)

The slides match up, so press each Play button at watch the slides side by side!

Allie is turning one year old in a week or so. Amazing. She’s doing really great. She’s on the cusp of walking, but hasn’t quite taken steps on her own yet. No teeth yet, but we’re assuming they’re in there somewhere. She says “Duh-DAH!” and points at almost everything. She’s just perfect.

I’m beginning to see Halloween signs at various shops. I wonder what Allie wants to be? I’m sure I can’t wait to find out!

Work is busy. Diana is teaching it up, schoolin’ kids something wicked, and that seems to be going well. With the newness of school starting and daycare, as well as the awesomeness of BWE ‘08, we’re ready to get back to a more stable routine. So far, so good.
