Hey there everyone! (translation of everyone = 'mom') Sorry I've been so totally lame in never updating this blog. But here's a quick synopsis of our summer & fall. We had a fun June va-ca to Ohio & PA and saw family and everyone had a blast! We had family come visit out here on a trip we took to Glenwood Springs- very fun. The Springs are a big destination spot out here in CO. We did a huge amount of landscaping this summer and the house is finally looking like a home- inside and out. (Although there's still the prerequisit trim & molding left to put up in places inside the house). The kids are finishing up soccer and having a good time with that. The family is good and healthy and we are excited about fall & winter. Here's some pics!

Ohio Summer Vacation '08

Our family had a really fun experience this summer: a big trip for all 5 of us back east to Ohio and PA for a big family vacation. Here's some pics from Ohio, the first leg of the trip. Then we'll throw up some pics from the PA part. Good times. All the best to you and I've got a bunch new material coming up in the next weeks.

Summer Times

It was a beautiful summer day and I couldn't resist grabbing some quick pics of the kiddies playing in the yard. Things are growing like crazy now and Angie and I are putting (hopefully) the finishing touches on our landscaping. Last year we did the grass, put in beds and mulch and so forth; this spring we're putting stuff in the beds: trees, grasses, shrubs, etc. Its starting to look nice. I messed around with starting the drip line on our sprinkling system. Its actually pretty cool. Coming Soon: pics & stories from our Ohio & PA trip!

Here are some pics from when Daddy and the kids went for a Jeep ride one winter afternoon. We took an off-the-path road up into some forest area and found this secluded "open space" which is what the counties out here call a public use area. Fun day!

Fall Fun

Have you seen cuter soccer pics? This is one of abby's soccer games from earlier this fall. It was her first year and she had a blast! Every Saturday morning she played and she would bug us all week to know when her game was, or 'how many more days until I play'?

happy fall & thanksgiving everyone!
