Where does the time go?

I just realized that I haven't posted since last May.  That's a long time!  So much has happened since May.  We had a wonderful, yet busy summer.  We traveled a bit. Nothing spectacular but going on trips with your family even if its just a few miles away is fun.  We attended a family reunion for Chris's family in Pinedale in July.  It was a great day!  The older I get the more I realize the importance of family and a few close friends.

The new addition on our house is coming along nicely.  Chris and his helpers (his dad, his brothers, and a few friends) have been doing a wonderful job.  I'm very pleased and proud.  I'll try to remember to post a few pictures.  We are already using the basement portion.  It's hard to describe how nice the extra space is.  More room to store things and just stretch out if you know what I mean.  The baby can run around and play.  We can workout without being confined in a small space.  Guy can pop in a movie and have a place to get away.  It's awesome is the best way I can put it.

Fall is in the air.  I went today and bought some Halloween items to decorate the Harris House.  I thought Guy and PJ might like some decorations.  I get extra mommy/grandma points for purchasing my pumpkins early this year.  I'm feeling a little bit more festive about the holidays this year.  I hope that spills over into the Christmas season.

I've been reading on my new Kindle lately.  I love that thing.  I find I'm reading much more now that I own and e-reader.  I love books but an e-reader for me is much more practical.  I've also been knitting mittens.  A local group I belong to is knitting mittens for the local Head Start kids.  There are a lot of kiddos in this program so we will be spending a lot of free time (ha ha what's that) on cute little mittens.

With Fall comes a much busier schedule full of holidays, birthdays, anniversaries (our 22nd to be precise) and various other activities.  Hopefully my next post won't take quite so long.
