Noel












Not sure what Noel means, but it sounds festive. Happy Noel everyone. I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year. The holidays are fun and I love having the time off of work and with my family.

Seven













The leaves have changed and have fallen. Winter is on it's way. I'm hoping for a long, warm, dry fall, followed by a short, warm, dry winter. Lately though, it seems like the things I hope and pray for go the opposite direction. I'm starting to wonder if I'm wasting my time.

Seven more weeks until Christmas. Nineteen weeks until Spring.

Seis






Ava will be six months old on the 9th.  Time flies.  It's amazing having a baby in the house again.  I forgot how much this can pull a family together.  Things work out...

Vexed









The mosquitoes are thick. This is probably the worst we've had them since I've lived in Cambridge. That's saying something.

The colors are popping. I think they might be really good this year.  I'm not sure what the magic formula is, but I have a feeling it's got what it needs this fall.

Abby will be 18 in 3 hours. I hope she doesn't come home with a tattoo!

Angie will be 29 on Tuesday.  Next year will be her golden birthday, haha.

Plans








Wow, it's been a stretch since my last post.  As John Lennon said "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans".  I want to do more shooting. In fact, I still carry my camera with me every day.  I see things, but I don't stop to take the time like I used to.  Makes me sad.  Time to turn that back around I guess.

Some photos above: first day of school, Ava is sitting up, Ava is brushing her first tooth (which is barely poking through), we've started on Abby's senior photos (one short outing so far), bacon is awesome (especially with fresh tomatoes and corn)

Hope to update very soon again.  I miss it.

Big Day
















First of all Happy Birthday to my Mother.  I love you Mom!

Last week, Angie was walking on the trail with the dog.  He saw a skunk dart out of the weeds a few yards in front of them and instinct took over.  Angie yelled at him to stop, but he couldn't.  I don't think he took a direct hit, but he did get into the spray pattern pretty good.  We ended up washing him a few times and made him sleep in his crate in the garage for a night.  You can see his shame above.

My granddaughter was baptized on Sunday.  She did great and it was a joy to witness.  Life is good.

Peace-
