I live the blog

Every so often I miss some days on the blog and when I catch up I am so happy. I love all of the posts and Jack, don't stop with your regular published pictures and comments. We are due to hear a big update from Sam, Max, Corey, Sophie and Luke.

I have been traveling a bunch and am glad to be home this week. I have a picture of the trade show attached. San Diego weather was great, but it is always great to get home. The weather here was unbelievable with Sandy coming through and I was glad to get home safely. It was fun having friends in the house all week. I was particularly glad to be the home everyone could come to rather than looking for a shelter and being out if heat. It reminded me to be thankful for my many blessings.

This past weekend was much needed for rest. So we spent the entire day raking on Saturday! So much for rest. Sophie helped for a long time and then Luke jumped in upon coming home from helping with Alex Northrup's Eagle Scout project.

A-ROO is going really well although very busy. I can be thankful for that. Next week I leave for Holland for a few days before flying to Salt Lake City to see my Provo family!

I love you guys,
Dad

Halloween ... Finally!

Nur das Beste

Probably the coolest thing ever. I just started watching the show 'Arrow', which follows the story of Oliver Queen, aka 'The Green Arrow'.

This show is basically the perfect combination of Batman, 'Lost', 'Smallville', and 'Robin Hood'.

It's incredible.
It also just may be the encouragement I need to finally start working out..

Lots of Leaves

The ratio of rakers to leaves is a rapidly diminishing number. Therefore, we have to bribe the small ones left at home. Tonight dinner out at a new place on Madison - Taco Tonto's...
