Looking Forward to the Fall
It’s been a long time since I’ve written a blog entry. That’s largely due to our use of FaceBook this year. But FB doesn’t capture much real content, especially since we’re writing these both for our kids to read someday and for extended family members now - several of whom don’t use FB. So, back to blogging…
Jess and I both love the Fall! The cooler days are definitely welcome, and the NM State Fair, Balloon Fiesta, and other fun holidays are just around the corner. Jonathan started Kindergarten a few weeks ago. Yes, my eldest is in school. Seems like a rather significant milestone. He’s doing well and enjoying it so far. Benjamin turned 4 at the end of July, and I was able to take him to the Grand Canyon for the day to visit some friends of mine from college that were in AZ, visiting from Germany. I hadn’t seen them since our marriage over 7 years ago, so Benjamin and I drove out there and spent the night with my cousins and then toured the South Rim with my friends for the day before driving home that evening. It was a fun, whirlwind of a trip. And our little Sarah continues to be a joy and delight! She turns 1 year old in less than 2 weeks. What a year it’s been.
This also marks my first blog entry from our beautiful new 24″ iMac! Yes, we made the switch to the dark side 
Now that they have Intel chips inside them, not to mention a superior OS IMHO, we made our move and aren’t looking back. It’s been wonderful to say the least! Everything just works great all the time and is easy to use. And PhotoBooth and iPhoto alone were worth the switch. But then you add on a sweet email interface and Safari and easy navigation…
My wonderful parents and several friends came over yesterday to help us on several projects around the house. We painted our entry way and pulled up the old, smelly carpet. And they assembled a new desk for our iMac that looks nicer and fits in the corner of the living room better. We also just had fun hanging out. My good friend JD Quinn captured this awesome shot of my mom and daughter:
OK, it’s way late, and I have to work tomorrow, but I upgraded a couple WordPress plugins (including WordBook to publish this to FB) and got inspired to write a quick entry.
Loving life all the time! Thank you God for the abundant life you have given us through Jesus Christ Good night morning.
