Election’s Over; Thankful for the Home Stretch
Well, our DC election predictions came true: DC went 92%+ for Barack Obama. Nancy worked at the polls (a loooong day), the politics news barrage has calmed down, and we’re glad to have it behind us. DC as a whole was elated when Obama’s win was confirmed; people were literally dancing in the streets.
We’ve been dancing ourselves lately – our Northwestern Wildcats have 8 wins so far this season. That includes winning at Michigan this weekend for only the second time since 1960. Go Cats!
Other than avoiding campaign commercials, we spent a good couple of weekends over the past month getting our back yard spruced up a bit. Caleb’s parents came into town for a weekend and helped to install a new paver walkway and a set of new steps for the back porch. Nancy’s dad made a spontaneous weekend visit in November and lent a hand in getting rid of the last of the debris from the yard. Overall, the yard is (slowly) undergoing a transformation – giving us hope for the rest of the house =).
The Joker is due to arrive on the scene sometime within the next six weeks – the home stretch. You can count down with us (or close to it) every time you hear the number of shopping days until Christmas. Our due date is December 28.
Enjoy the newly updated pictures … we’ll be back in a bit.
