Well, it's a sad time in Spokane, at least for Adam. The short summer was unbelievably busy. We spent nearly every weekend at the lake, camping, mountain biking or traveling. It was tons of fun. But, starting in September, the weather started to change and the cold started to move in. We are still waiting for the first big freeze but high temps near 50, grey skies, and rain is cold enough for me. It is actually a really nice time to be in Spokane. Being outdoors, even for just a walk in the park, is really nice. Golf is outstanding this time of year. The only real depressing part is having to put the boat away.
It was a sad day indeed. This was our last day on Long Lake in Northwest Spokane. As you can see, not another boat in sight and calm water, can't ask for better. We ended up putting nearly 70 hours on the boat which is pretty decent for our first summer. We'll definately be ready to go come next April, well Adam will at least. Noelle will definately have to wait until late summer to get on the wakeboard. But we can get the little one used to the boat a little early ;-) We'll be winterizing the boat in the next few weeks. Adam is still holding out for one more indian summer day but chances aren't great.
The other cool part about this time of year is that the trees have started to change color. Our street is lined with big trees so we are able to enjoy the colors everyday. I imagine all those leaves will be a pain in the butt in a few weeks but they're fun to look at now.
We are extremely blessed to live in such a beautiful place and we are definately trying to take advantage of it.
As far as baby news goes, there isn't to much to report. Unfortunately, this is taking forever!!!! It's going to be a long 6-7 months for us. Neither one of us has any patience. But, as far as we know, everyone is happy and healthy. We'll keep y'all up to date as we go on.
