Catching Up: Carving Pumpkins and Heading back to Iowa

Joni's Pumpkin from 2006

After we had destroyed the porch in Vermont and built the kitchen extension and entryway, we spent some time taking photographs (posted already) and enjoyed apple picking (posted already). Because halloween was approaching we got into the spirit by carving up a couple of pumpkins. Also, because Halloween was approaching, we were getting excited to get back to Iowa for our friend Marcus's Halloween party.

We decided to drive through Canada on the way back and stop through Ann Arbor, Michican, to see a good friend of ours from Germany. After a brief but enjoyable visit we made it straight to Marcus's where in exchange for putting us up for a few days, we helped him with his party preparations.

Catching Up: Expanding the kitchen

Wow, there's a lot of catching up to do. It's so easy to throw some pictures in a folder and jot down a few notes, and put off blogging until later. But eventually you have to come around and catch things up again...

We're about a year behind. Last time I personally updated we had just arrived in Vermont and had gone apple picking and on a couple short jaunts of photography. Well one of the main things we did while we were there last year was to help Juli upgrade her kitchen and entryway. There are a bunch of photos of the demolition / construction in the bumming around / vermont / construction image gallery.
