Drywall is Installed

The drywall has now been installed. Our builder tells us that within the next week (weather permitting), we'll see the hardwood flooring and the paint go in.

Well, I suppose he's growing up more and more. Last Saturday, we attended Ethan's first party. These pictures are from a place called Steve's Fantastic Fun Zone, which is filled with a bunch of huge blowup toys. He had a great time!

What? No one said Daddy couldn't play on the toys, too!

Christmas Wish List!!!

For those of you needing gift ideas, we're continually updating our wishlists on the right side of the page. There is a list for Amazon.com and a list for Musician's Friend.com. Ethan already has about as many Thomas and Friends toys as he (or we) can stand, so you might think about other items this year.

One of the main items I want Ethan to receive is a set of Boomwhackers. Unfortunately, these aren't available through Musician's Friend. However, I've found the manufacturer, and here's a link to purchase them directly from their store:

Harvest Hoedown

Every year the World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro holds a gigantic event called the Harvest Hoedown. It's a great time for adults and kids alike, and it cuts down on the amount of children running loose in the streets at night this time of year.

This year Batman met his worst villian yet, the Mommy Witch. Beware!

Siding and Roof

The new house now has siding and a roof. Drywall is supposed to be installed within the next few days. Wow! It's really starting to resemble an actual house these days.

Eat Here and Get Gas!

Believe it or not! This is an actual photo I took while driving through Wears Valley near Pigeon Forge, TN. I'm not sure what their marketing approach is, but it certainly caught my attention.
