I'm still here...

Wow. I'm sorry to all of you that actually faithfully follow - I'm so behind in the blogging department. I have lots to share from Thanksgiving. We traveled home to VA and I was finally able to meet 2 of my babies :) We had a great time seeing friends and family as well. I'll post pics when I get them loaded!

For now, I already have these uploaded so thought I'd share...

We had beautiful weather in October and November this year. It was SO different from last year when it rained almost every day. Our temps were mild (for VT) and many days were sunny. It's amazing what a difference that makes!

We did a bunch of hiking - these pics are from our hike up Mad River Glen.










My noodle. Isn't she pretty?







We caught the tail end of the leaf season...







On another note...I think I've mentioned that we had a tree removed. The tree person said he wouldn't come back to take the stump until we removed the concrete. Our neighbor (and friend) offered to bring his chainsaw over and take care of the stump for free. He thought it would be fun :)

First the guys took out the dirt and concrete...




I offered to watch the kids since Joe's wife was off on a training run :) Cousin came over to help me!




After 2 trips to Lowe's for new chainsaw parts...they were ready to take down the stump.




It looked like progress was being made.




Unfortunately, that's about as far as the saw made it. The stump proved too strong for the guys. They recruited another helper who tried his hand at using a hatchet without much more luck.




Long story short, the stump remains in the backyard.

Hope you are having a good week! Only a few more days until the weekend....
