I've been a bit, well, delinquent in posting any updates so below are some pictures from the past summer and into the school year. More to come (hopefully)soon.

Hannah and Fran

Hannah's buddy and one of her many "boyfriends" she plans to marry, Fran, helps her fight evil (or her mother) one afternoon.

Christmas 2008, Winter Wonderland

We had a beautiful white Christmas again this year with nearly 2 feet of snow and no power. We'd shower and do laundry in between our many outages throughout the week of Christmas, and I was able to get my Christmas baking done during the few hours we had with power on Christmas Eve leaving only some stovetop (we have propane) and BBQing Christmas day. Hannah kept saying Santa was visiting each day and night because she was absolutely sure he was the one bringing all the snow; when we get so much as a bit of frost, she's certain it's Santa even after Christmas.

Winter 2008

I thought I'd include a couple random pictures of the kids - Tate with a school project and Hannah being, well, Hannah - as well as some beautiful recent sunsets and sunrises.
