Happy Halloween

So I was an absent dad this year working in Austin but it looks like the girls were out in force:


Lindsey and Brooklyn



Adrienne and Brooklyn

Brooklyn the Sock Hop girl:



I did carve pumpkins the Saturday before...too bad it was so hot the rotted before Halloween...(stupid state of hotness):

Schnepf farms

So Brooklyn, Lindsey Adrienne, and I all went to Schnepf farms, someplace where kids can be kids and the farm is still there :) I hear they have a scary haunted house and even a Steve Nash corn maze (see below), along with a large contingent of "Stragglers" from Bright Horizons. aka B's pre-school

So it was a lot of fun we played on train, saw a pig racing show (complete with goats...exactly!), played with some other goats, road a flying B, road some high spinning swings and even B did her own Piloting of high plans (I was so proud)

Here are a few pics and you can check here for the full contingent: Kodak Gallery

STEVE NASH - how cool

So they Broke ground....

...on our (Lindsey, Brooklyn and I) house last week and they are moving right along. The date for the house is supposed to be early March which means that next year should look CRAZY (aka last minute wedding planning [aka all the stuff you can't do till the end], get married, go on honeymoon, get back, pack up house, move into new house) Whewwwwwww...I am tired just thinking about it.

Here is the house (errr land):

Lindsey in the kitchen(I think):




And so ends an era or soon it will anyways the 419 E. Julie Dr. house is on the market. I cannot help but sniff a little and shed a small tear :(



I love you house!

Cake

Hey guys,

Avery and I went wedding cake testing on Saturday. So I wanted to share with you the design we both chose for the cake.

http://www.pieceofcakedesserts.com/wedding.html

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page it's number NC17. The pick roses will be change to our colors and we are pretty sure we are going to change the outside design to something else. The things we like are the square cake and the tiered look. The wedding topper on this cake is a scripted R and Avery and I from day one have been wanting a scripted D. So just imagine a D instead of a R. Very exciting.

Love you all,

Lindsey
