fall days

Here are some up close and personal pics of Grif:)  I got a new camera lens and have been having fun practicing.  Luckily Griffin doesn't seem to mind. 

John, however, does seem a little annoyed with all my photo taking.

 so, this is what we get.... 

 That's better!

What a difference a year makes!

this is griffin now (finally room to stretch out in John's new van)

here he is a year ago, he had been with us just a couple of weeks.  

just made it

Phew, we survived the whirlwind that was september!  Lets see, we had a great camping trip, i went to boston with Em to visit Dan, we went to benedicta to spend labor day with the Rush clan (we also got to see the Mars Hill Wind farm - awesome!), and had a booth at the common ground country fair (also awesome). 

John speaks with an interested customer about Solar PV.  Boy, how did I end up with such a smarty pants!?!

 Common Ground Fair Booth Decorations

A new addition to the Evolo display....

 speaking of new additions, this is me at 23 weeks.  in case you haven't heard, its a girl!

 Liz and I spent some time at the play ground.  she LOVES the play ground, despite constant battles with rocks in her shoes.

 wonder what she is contemplating here? 

I love this photo of her. 

camping prep

With our annual camping trip around the corner, we needed to get Griffin in the canoe for some practice.  This is Grif's first camping trip with us, and our site is on an island, so we have to canoe over to it.

Got him in, we are ready to go!

I am not sure that he likes it, but he didn't dump us.

We made it back!

Em, Liz & Ryan took the paddle boat out for a spin, too.

19 weeks

well, finally, a blog post about being pregnant!  Here is my 19 week photo.  Now officially into maternity clothes.  We hope to find out the baby's gender next week...

uncle dan, the artist

Dan does an outline of Liz.  She thinks this is very cool....

Now checking out Dan's artistry....

lobstah n stuff

John worked on the coast a bit this summer.  Here he is, up 100ft working on a wind turbine. 

Griffin greets him with slobbery kisses

When John works on the coast, he usually picks up lobsters, and this trip he brouht us some BIG ones! (just look at that grin:))

Mom & Dad join us for lobster dinner

Grif, not sure of the lobster....
