Well, the year ended with a nice awards ceremony. We were a little late, but decided to show up and make it Carter’s first public appearance. Hopefully noone minded, Carter sort of stole the show. I am officially on the board for the sailing club in 2009, which I look forward to. It is a great club and a great group and I want to help it continue to grow. I again want to thank everyone involved with the club for a great year, they truely are a special group. The obligatory photo album is here.

Thursday, November 13th, 2008
We took Carter to see his pediatrician, Cecilia Yu. Once more, only good news. We are very blessed. We already greatly enjoy our relationship with Cecilia and we know that Carter is in good hands. Not suprisingly, there are some pictures from the visit.

Sunday, November 9th, 2008Carter is on his way
Sunday, November 9th, 2008I am blogging from Progress West. At 9:00pm last night Kathy’s water broke. Granny & I took Kathy to the hospital. Kathy was in a lot of pain until she got the epideral, but the staff here has been amazing. The night really flew by. They quickly put us on Pitocin to induce labor. The contractions prior to the epideral and the epideral itself were quite painful, but we were able to nap for a little over an hour. The epideral is being dialed back and we should be ready for the main event soon!
2008 Sailing Season Ends
Saturday, November 1st, 2008
Last chance to sail this year, and I sure enjoyed it! 76 degrees for the high, the big lake, a good breeze, and enough foliage to prove its November… absolutely beautiful. It was also nice to have a cabin boat come out and join us. It has been a fun season marked by meeting good friends and learning a skill that I always wanted to learn. What a year, look forward to the next.
Halloween!
Friday, October 31st, 2008
Happy Halloween! Of course, with Carter on his way, we did not get to spend too much time decorating. We did get to deocrate a little bit so feel free to check out the pictures.

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Slacker Uprising
Sunday, October 19th, 2008
Our neighbor’s came over and watched Slacker Uprising by Michael Moore. I am usually get a lot out of Michael Moore’s films but this one was not as insightful. On the plus side, we got to hang out with our littlest neighbor, Isak.
