Halloween Party

We went to your first Halloween party of the season last week (two more to go). The kids had a great time, but Erik really didn't like dunking his face in the water while bobbing for apples. They loved their costumes, and they ate way too much candy (big surprise).

I got the boat out for a quick sail last weekend. The weather was nice and cool, but the wind was a little weak. We should have a couple more weekends of good sailing, then it gets too cold for my wife.

Rewarding Work!

I completed my first truly rewarding work this year. A small group of men from church got together to clear a shut-in woman's backyard. Her yard looked more like a jungle than a person's house. It was three hours of back-breaking yard work, but it was worth it. We have more projects planned, so this promises to be a very rewarding (and tiring) holiday season.

My family is preparing for our youngest son's birthday as well as a trip to Disney. He gets a special birthday party with Winnie the Pooh, and he is very excited. More to come in two weeks.

Is Fall finally here?

The weather has gotten agreeably cool lately. I especially enjoy the crisp mornings. Fall is in the air. This is the only time of year I really miss living up North.

My oldest son just celebrated his 4th birthday. We had a big party at the Children's Museum downtown. The best part was all the cool Spiderman toys he got!
