What We've Been Up To

Well folks, we had a computer crash...the 3rd one this year!!!! My laptop crashed this summer (I got it reformatted), my desktop crashed about a month ago (I'm getting rid of it), and my laptop crashed again last week! ARGH! So, right now, I'm looking into buying a new computer. No small task. I'm actually being lured in by the new 13" Macbook Pro.

I've never seen myself as a Mac owner, but the more I research, the more I like them. My brother and sisters all have them, and I must say that - from what I've seen - they are pretty neat computers. Does anybody out there have one? Do you love it as much as my siblings do????

Our Bible Study went over to Amanda's house the other night and carved pumpkins.

Matt and Angela skillfully carved their very large pumpkin.

Jeremy and Sandra carved a pumpkin for Baby Colton - despite the fact that it was a very sweaty pumpkin. All Colton really wanted to do was check out the stem though :-)

Amanda showed us all up with her Martha Stewart pumpkin :-)

And Kevin and I carved our spider web pumpkin!

We had so much fun!

Since I don't have a computer at home right now, we've been getting a lot done around the house! The past 2 nights, we worked in the living room. This was the result.

Don't let it fool you...hanging pictures in a straight line is no small task. There are quite a few extra holes in the wall behind those pics :-) They are black and white pictures that I took in Europe of the London Eye, Westminister Abbey, the Colosseum, and the Eiffel Tower. I love them (here's a closeup).
I really love my curtains! I think they make the room feel more home-y! I took the red out of my rug. They are not the exact same color red, but they compliment one another very well....at least I think so!

On a different note, there's only a few more weeks before one of these rascals comes home with us! YAY!!!!!
