My First Sparkler

Well, we have to wait until Tuesday for the electricity to be turned on in the new house. We've moved practically everything out of storage and into the garage. Now, we just have to confront the arduous task of unpacking all of the boxes.

We took a nice break Sunday evening and shot off more than our fair share of fireworks. Here, Ethan experiences the joy that exists within holding his first sparkler.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Woot!!!

Ok, the electrical inspector finally showed up to do his job. The meter is supposed to go on this morning, and the final touch-up is underway. We're scheduled to close at 4pm today, and we're just brewing over with anticipation. We loaded up most of a storage unit into our U-Haul rental last night, so we're ready to go as soon as we have the keys in hand. The next update should find us settled into a new house.

Two From a Finished House

The house is finished. We're going to do the final inspection and closing after the holidays have had a chance to work us over. With any luck, we'll get our moving done and toast the New Year in a New Home.

Celebrity Seen at Hometown Gala

The celebrity superstar known only as "Ethan" performed at the illustrious Old Fort Academy 2006 Christmas Program. It was a joyous affair replete with singing and praise. And while our celebrity refused to sing, he did give us the benefit of pausing for this photo.

When questioned about the incident, Ethan had only this to say,

"Where's Santa?"

Yes, folks, you read it here first.

New Address!!!

We have an official new address. Please make note of this address for all future correspondence.

Ethan Turns 4!!!

Yesterday marked the fourth anniversary of Ethan's birth, and I think time moves faster with each passing day. How quickly he seems to be growing up. Here are some shots from his party.

Welcome to Winter

Well, it's December 1, and Old Man Winter has finally decided to rear his lovely head. We even had a bit of light snow this morning. As it's such a busy season, I thought I would take the opportunity to remind you that Ethan will be having his first real birthday party tomorrow. The fabulous festivities will take place at Steve's Fantastic Fun Zone at 10AM. Christmas is rapidly approaching, and you still have time to order those items from our wishlists (at the right), with plenty of time for shipping.

House Update!

Here are the latest pics from our new house. I spoke with the builder this morning, and we're scheduled to close December 14. That's only 13 days away!
