The chickens are hard at work scratching and pecking and preparing our soil for some lush grass. We can hardly wait for the spring so we can plant the grass seeds. But when will we have eggs. Come on girls get busy!

We ended our holiday with a bang or rather with a Lifechangers learning center. My lovely parents come down for the learning center as well. It was so much fun to see old friendships rekindled and new ones made. We love you all so much and can't wait to do it agian.

Chris and I had a great week hiking around Tennessee and visiting some friends and family.

Chis and Cas Noris had some particularly interesting discussions about the coming elections.

We love our icecream maker! Thanks Horace family. We are still looking for a great fat free recipe though. Any one know of a good one.

We have been getting the yard ready for grass seed and some minor landscaping. Chris spent one of his preccious days off removing the concreet borders all over our yard. Anyone want a pile of concreet chunks?

Eric and Misha came to visit us in October. We had a blast! Come back anytime and bring more of the family. We love you guys.

We visited Louisville, KY recently for Chris' brother Andrew's wedding. It was beautiful. While we were there we found the coolest hotel. No, we did not stay there but hope to the next time we have the chance. It was a museum hotel. What a cool fusion! They had a limo with red rhinestones all over it and many galleries with red penguins all over.
