Reuben and Rachel,
Any thoughts on the premier of The Office? I enjoyed it, but I didn't think it was and instant classic. Dwight had some good moments, and it is always funny when a cat dies.
I am already sick of this Jim and Pam thing. Ashley disagrees.

speed of sound
Upon request from Dad after a conversation about the exciting music channel on the new TV, I would like to share my knowledge of the great American creation that is Pandora.com. Type in band or song and using the "music genome" it creates a radio station of similar music. Currently my favorite stations include Gabe Dixon Band, Joshua Radin, Dave Barnes, and Denison Witmer (whose show I was able to make last night. Best 1 man with a guitar show I've ever attended. Check out happybirthdaydenison.com for some free acoustic stuff.) Most of those you need to make some tea and sit by the fireplace to get the full affect.
This weekend was also spent surrounded by music at SpringHill's 1st annual Music Festival. Historic, I know! However, most of it was spent running around on and offstage camera in hand. Once I have some of the photos I'll have to post a few. Ben, you will be glad to hear, out of the 25 bands I heard, 4 of them covered a U2 song. The only closely covered competitor would have been worship songs, which don't count. AND 3 out of the 4 were on the main stage, and 2 out of those 3 were in the encore. The one that wasn't on the main stage was my summer boss who said this before playing the song "for our last song we'll end with a little something by the greatest band of all time..." Needless to say, it was great.
On a completely unrelated topic, I heard dinner at my apartment was discussed while I was gone, but I am all for it. Any Sunday work better than another for anyone?

Red Rubber Ball
Happy Fall! What a great day we had here today. Dad and I went to the beach. The water was swim-able. We think it is a record for us. The latest we ever swam in the season.
We tried to get a shot of the date on the newspaper. Sort of like pointing at a calendar the first day of Kindergarten. Here's a close-up:
Exciting, Huh?

The Kids Aren't Alright
Actually, they are fine. Just a little bit loud and smelly. Here are some pictures from our latest photo shoot.
Ashley liked the swing one that she took. You can see Avery trying to get into the action in the top left corner.

Arrrrrrrrr, its drivin' me nuts!
Ahoy, mateys! This day has been declared international talk like a pirate day, so you best be getting your words straight or it will be straight to the locker fer ya all.
favorite pirate joke:
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to his groin and goes to sit down. The bartender looks at him and asks, "what's the deal with the steering wheel on your crotch?" The pirate replies, "Arrrrrr, it's drivin' me nuts!"

These Days
I thought it time that I give an update. Nothing is new yet with me working 4 days a week other than that we are officially looking for another nurse so that this can happen. So I'll keep you all posted.
In around-the-house news, our office is all set up and organized now that the family entertainment center has moved on. It's a room I love to be in now!
Since the beginning of the summer, Reuben and I have been part of the group that plans 20s/30s events at church trying to create more community in the after-college age group. Last Sunday was our big fall kick-off with Yesterdog catering in Garfield Park. Below is a picture of Reuben making announcements, giving away t-shirts, etc. After this event, I finally can really picture what my husband is like in the classroom. :) The picture below that is of one of our team members holding the baby of another couple in the group. The reason I post this is because his name is Reuben. Very cool.
Finally, today Reuben and I had a nice day to ourselves after church. Not that we don't like our families and seeing them on Sundays, but it was really nice to not do that today! We went to Robinettes this afternoon.... donuts and cider there are so good! I love fall!
