I am home back safe and sound, and we have been busy on many different tasks, chief among them, reintegrating as a family. It has been a serious struggle in a lot of ways, but we have weathered it together. I will try to assist in the authoring phases of this, so hopefully we can keep it up and going on a regular basis for everyone.

New developments: We move closer every day to opening our upstairs for use. An office space and the kids bedroom is the goal for up there, and we hope to have it ready by Christmas. Leaves have been an incessant task for us, and the kids have been as big a part of that as anyone. Kolbe is hammering away at school, and has really learned to enjoy it. This week, he has decided that he wants to start taking showers alone. With a lot of supervision, he is taking them ever so often, as supplements to his baths. He really gets a kick out of being the big boy. As for the photo below, Kolbe loves for the two of them to be dressed alike.
