Not a "Techy"

Hi Kids,
I thought I was posting comments to your updates, but I now see that nothing has posted. Guess my comments are out there somewhere and will surface at some point.
Thanks for all the pictures......of grown up looking Aidan and his supportive little brother (were there any tears in Mommy and Daddy's eyes??), the great progress in the kitchen, the West Michigan cuties, and the "Dream Team" from Ky. It's SO fun to be with all of them/you, but when we can't the pictures are treasures. Thanks, Matt, for setting this up, and all of you for keeping us in the loop of your lives.
We will post some pics of Milwaukee upon our return. Hopefully I'll come home with a less dramatic souvenir this time =).
Love to you all,
Mom

Great pics

Hey thanks to everyone for new pics. Looks like there's a lot going on. Leighton Ryland and Paxton appear to be about a year older than in July.

Congrats to Aidan on the first day of school. He looks so grown up on the pictures.

Dirk and Stacey, the kitchen looks fabulous. I hope you have been taking "before" pictures as you start each project!

Matt, you apparently forgot that stuff left in storage reproduces in the dark and yuou end up with twice as much junk.!

Mom and I are off to Milwaukee starting tomorrow. , joining a few hundred thousand of our closest friends. Weather is supposed to be great and we are looking forward to the ferrry ride over and a few days of "Harley community"

Thanks for the updates
Dad

Pics from summer

Now that we have been relegated to the slums of dial up, we don't check this as much as we used to. But I had the camera at work today and thought I'd update the blog with a few pics.

In other news, I have managed to clean out the 3 stalls of the garage just in time to have out two storage pods delivered. How is it possible we moved into a house that is twice the size but I can't seem to find enough room for all our crap. And heaven forbid we get rid of some of it.

First Day of School!

Here are the pics from the first day of school for excited Aidan and proud little brother Ted. I guess that Aidan was so pumped for school that when Stacey and Ted dropped him off, he went running to find his friends while Stacey and Teddy were still getting out of the car. I thought that he might at least wait until third grade before he ditched his family. Anyway, the first day was great and Aidan even more excited for tomorrow because he gets to ride the bus to school!

Kitchen Update

Here are the left and right side views of the NM Hollebeek kitchen project. As you can see, the cabinets are in as well as the floors, etc. The beautiful counter tops are not permanent, but temporary 3/4 inch plywood as we await Gallup time in the building industry...very functional (when was the last time that you vacuumed your counter tops?) but not exactly what we wanted. Time will tell.

Update from Lexington

Hey all,
Things have been pretty busy around here so we haven't been able to post any new pics or videos for awhile. Here are some recent pics and videos of the boys. Work continues to be very interesting. I begin the psychology orientation tomorrow, which should be very informative. Talk to you soon, Em
