It's been awhile since I've provided an update, so sorry about that. I chose this picture to show you all that it's truly a work in progress yet. While we had some issues with Xcel Energy getting heat installed in the house, we're pretty close to being on track. The closing date is set for November 20th. Amy's parents Rob and Jen think we brought the rain with us this fall from St. Cloud and they want us out of the house. I'm only kidding I think.....

The painting should be done by the 30th and the flooring starts next week. The kids are enjoying school still, and their Grandma Jen is taking them to Space Aliens tonight to celebrate their report cards (no "N's, but Owen does need to remember to write his name on his paper--no kidding). Amy and I are continuing to embrace our new community and the people in it. It's been a long time since we've been the new people, but it's been very welcoming. While we miss many of the people in St. Cloud, it's been great having time to just hang out with our families.

That's all for now. More to come next week.

We're looking forward to
