Weekly update

Just wanted to post to say hello to family and friends. We had a nice weekend, and it is great to have football showing again! Friday night a few couples came over to our house for dessert and drinks on the deck. It was a great night to sit out by the fire, under the full moon, and just talk and laugh. I met the ladies in the group on line while planning our wedding; we've stayed in close touch the past 2 years and have lunch once a month, and it's gotten to the point where I think even the men in the group no longer find it weird that we're hanging out with people we met in that great, mysterious place known as the internet!

Saturday was a lazy day and we did some house work and watched football. Notre Dame sure put a stomping on PSU! (sorry Mark!) Sunday we went to Ruby's birthday party as she turned 3. The party was at a small zoo where the kids (or adults too!) could feed and pet the animals. We watched some more football and made a great dinner and relaxed even more. Agh - weekends!

This week the plumber begins the work on the basement bathroom, we get our DVR hooked up, and my one-day-to-be-sister-in-law Kelly turns 30 (don't worry Kelly, no one reads this blog so we'll keep it our little secret in the family!!) so we're looking forward to seeing the kids and David & Kelly this weekend.

Before I say good bye in this little update, I just want to ask anyone reading this to take a moment and reflect today, September 11th. While so many people are remembering the tragic events of what happened 5 years ago, I'd ask that you remember the good that came from that day as well. I know that this day means different people to everyone, and it is a deeply personal feeling. Wishing everyone peace and many blessings...
