Happy Halloween to all those witches, ghosts and goblins out there !!!

Leaf Peepers

On Sunday, we took a ride North to check out the foliage. On the way we stopped at Toadflax , Rich Morris' nursery. They had free kittens ... we were wishing Dave wasn't allergic cuz they are really, really cute ... but ... he is ... so

Alpine Slide 2008

On Saturday we went to Jiminy Peak to hit the Alpine Slides. It was another fun time, but it was brrr ... cold. The hot chocolate was popular ! We ended the day by having dinner at Cracker Barrel ... yum. Can't wait until next year ;)

There are a couple things to note:
1) First run, Dave wiped out and scuffed up his forehead, knee and shoulder.
2) So did Vahan.
3) Being tall and lanky doesn't help while on the Alpine Slide !
4) Dave Z almost got kicked out of the resort for riding too close to Jason AND failing to use the brakes at the bottom of the run [shall we call him crash?]
5) Bring more clothes next time.
6) I hope they fix the holes in the lawn ... ouch, my ankle.
7) Next year the ladies ride the slide [wink, wink].

Our current project

Yep, we're at it again. I'm convinced that once you're a homeowner, there's always, always, always something to do. Dave's current project, a retaining wall. I'll keep updating this post as things progress. Here are some pics of the guys hard at work.

Happy Birthday Sawyer

Last Saturday we helped celebrate Sawyer's first birthday. It was a lot of fun and I'm pretty certain that Sawyer had a really good time. I couldn't help but think back to Jackson's first birthday. It's kind of hard for me to believe that Jackson will be 8 this February ... and it's also kind of hard to believe that it's been a whole year since Sawyer came into Dave and Sandy's life (well, came into a whole bunch of people's lives, actually). I remember it like it was yesterday.
Here are some pics.
