Milton, GA

Last week we completed a retro fit in Milton, GA which is about an hour from Atlanta. The facility is own by Performance Food Group (PFG). The installation went very well and we even were able to get out of there a day early. We would have been able to leave even sooner if we received the correct parts and the parts on time. Neither of which happened. So about 3 hours wasted and $500 extra dollars later, we were able to finish the job and head home. The two guys pictured are Jason and Clark. Jason is a good old Virginia boy and Clark is a 20 year old trapped in a 42 year old body from North Carolina. Both guys are fun to hangout and work with. We drove back Wednesday night and Thursday morning and there were gas shortages all the way back. Apparently the hurricanes that affected Texas and Louisiana closed down the refineries for a few days and stopped the Southeastern pipeline from fulfilling its quotas. We had to do a little searching at times, but we found enough places with gas to make it back without any major delays. I'll be headed up to Minneapolis, MN this next week and taking a quick trip in the middle of the tour back to Virginia for Tiffany's cousin Nicole's wedding next weekend.

Maddie turns 2. Ani prepares for Baby Brother

Somehow the summer came and went in a blur. We have been amazingly fortunate to share so many good times with the kids on the west coast. In August we celebrated Madeline Grace's second birthday and helped Aniela prepare for Bubba's arrival. I uploaded a few pix that include onsie art work, a trip to the San Diego dog-beach with George, and Maddie's party.



We just got back from D.C. over the weekend (thanks to the generous support of the Wheaton resort and day-spa). Sean participated in the Nation's Triathlon which included a 1.5 mile dip in the Potomac. (ick-better him than me!). Then he had to bike 20 miles, which we have no proof of because Tiffany was in charge of the bike pictures and didn't catch him on film despite the fact that we saw him twice on that part of the race. Then he ran a 10k. Yeah Sean!!!



Big News:
We'll be heading out Wed night to meet our very first grandson, as yet nameless, who is due to arrive in this world Thursday morning. From there, down to San Fran for a couple of days to check out Kate and Sherm's new place.

First day of kindergarten

I went to lunch for the first time. I had music class. I played the harp. I played sand blocks and these bells. And I played with these sticks. I went to recess three times. I had a pretzel and some graham crackers for snack.
