What can I say?

The time has flown by, it was a busy summer, it came and went so fast. Seems like there was always something going on, and it wasn't usually house related! From our annual canoe trip with friends in July, to Christine and me going out to Colorado hiking in August, to a family trip to Downtown Chicago in September. I even made time to train and run a half Marathon on Sept 27th. Thats not to say I didn't get any work done on the house these last couple months either. Zanders room is drywalled and almost ready for paint and carpeting. The blower system is installed and operating on the fireplace. I designed and started planting an English garden out in the yard. Along with various other odds and ends. I will try to get my blog up to speed here shortly. In the meantime here's a few pics.

Horseback riding out in Leadville, Colorado. If you click on the pic you can see the snow covered mountains in the background.


Here's the family walking in a garden in downtown Chicago.


They had some really nice flower gardens.



And yes, here's a pic from in the house. My brother in law Russ is mudding the drywall in Zanders room.
