SNOW!

We had a five minute snow storm blow through this week. Nothing stuck and it didn't last, but Adelle was very excited. We've only been here 1 winter so we don't know exactly what to expect. It's been cold and sunny all week (50's during the day, 30's at night). Yeah, I know - it's not that cold. The temperature doesn't really matter as long as the sun shines!

More Cutler

"Yeah, I pretty much run this house"

Another Broncos victory!!

Cutler

Cutler sure loves sisters. They are both very involved with keeping him happy and healthy. I have a feeling this kid is going to grow up pampered.


We're getting a few smiles here and there, mostly when dad talks about the Broncos.

Halloween!

Adelle, the Happy Clown....



She was in the spirit all day long..



Here's what they're thinking....

"Candy"
"Oh, yeah......lotsa candy"
"Are you serious? I'm a very angry skeleton!"

Late Night with Roy

UNC had their annual Late Night with Roy festivities last night to kick off the 2008-2009 basketball season. The team did a bunch of silly skits then suited up for a scrimmage. Not much to see, right? 15,000+ showed up to the Dean Dome last night to watch. It was almost full to the rafters for a scrimmage!
Emily and I got there just in time for the real action and the guys look great. Hear me now and believe me later, this team will win it all going away.

Monday Night Football

This picture pretty much sums up my night at Foxborough.



The fans were great and the stadium is unbelievable. All in all, i had a great time....It was just too bad the Broncos didn't show up to play.

The tree comes down

After months of begging and pleading, we finally got a company to come out and take down the tree from our back yard. Service out here isn't quite what we're used to, but these guys were great. They were in and out in under an hour and did a great job. Here are a couple of before and after pix:

They brought in 3 trucks to handle the job: a crane, a log hauler, and a chipper. And by chipper, I mean, "one bad machine". They chipped almost the entire tree - it was a BIG tree. One of the guys rode the end of the crane up to the top. He attached the cable then cut it off in 3 sections. He just waited at the top strapped to the tree while they chipped up the sections. It took no time at all. Here is the beastly crane:



Here goes the top:


And the middle:


And the bottom:


Then into the chipper they go:

And here is the yard after our friend came down:
