We did it!

Moving in with someone can be interesting. I have several friends that have moved in with someone very special over the past few months. Of course, this deserves some further discussion.

And today I was thinking about what my old Indian friend use to give me in terms of love life advise: He would always say Let me tell you a story about "never". Well, it turns out that wise man was not quite accurate when it comes to relationship advise for others. Never is not the way to go so more power to those taking the plunge.

So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride....

Nate's tipping one back for you!

So, I have heard some interesting tidbits about things to keep in mind when you move in with someone for the first time. Of course I wrote something similar to this last year (and at this point my dad has probably thrown something at his computer and will be calling me for pictures of his grandson - but I digress) so it got me thinking.

Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Evidently you should keep an extra role of TP hidden somewhere in the house.
- Hide your "stash" of personal items you had while single.
- Keep the toilet seat down.
- Don't jump in bushes or moon pizza parlors (actually, maybe this works on second thought)

- Be careful what kind of underwear you wear around the house.

- Be careful where you fall sleep

- And, most importantly, when you step in dog poop make sure not to wear your shoes into the house. Like I nearly did today.

I'm not sure there is any secret to it or if this advise was really worth dispensing. But I will say life is fun and always finds ways to keep you on your toes. Best of luck, congrats and remember to enjoy everyday!!

And if necessary... go back to New York and play Beirut on Star's rooftop. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Playing in the bumbo

Here's a couple videos of Dylan playing in his bumbo with a toy. He's getting pretty good at sitting up for extended periods in this thing.

Snow day!

So Colorado is currently under a bit of a storm... within the past 24 hours we have had 16+ inches of snow in Boulder and the entire front range of Colorado from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs pretty much shut down for most of today. Of course with snow coming down nonstop at a rate of 2 inches per hour the area is suppose to get another 12-24 inches in the next 24 hours so we'll see if we are home bound much longer.

They think it will be in the 50's by Halloween so the kids will have nice trick-or-treat weather!

I came home a bit early from work today and here are a few photos of our house and all the snow. These photos are from around 4pm and looking out the window right now it looks like I never shoveled!

the branches on this tree around 6+ feet above the ground so I can walk under them. They are now touching the ground!

And of course of photo of Dylan from the weekend. At a young age he really seems to understand the importance of reading!

Pumpkin Patch

We had a great time at Cottonwood Farm on Saturday. Dylan went through his first corn maze and was really taking it all in...between the farm animals and kids pulling around the wagons of pumpkins there was a lot of commotion! Can't wait to roast the seeds and get the pumpkin carved this week.
