Birthday boys!

Happy eighth, and ... JEEZ... seventeenth?!? To Boyd and Jett...

Hard to believe!

Farewell 709

Big news from the Joneses...

We moved!!!

After 10 years (almost to the day) of living in the old house, we decided to move the fam to a sweet abode in the nearby country. It's still a Eudora address, but it's much more rural. 

The attached photo is the last time I mowed the old yard. And it felt good. That house was good to us. We loved it there. It was just the right time to move on.

The good news is the kids, Adrianne and I all couldn't be happier with the new digs. We're still getting adjusted and we're still unpacking some boxes... but the sunsets and the sunrises at the new casa are just beautiful. The stars are so bright. And my cell phone service? Nonexistent. 

Perfect!

If the photos on the blog look like a different setting, now you know why. We've been at the new place a little over a month. Many of my friends helped us move out of the old place. And I credit Adrianne with the savvy of finding this new place and making it happen. Much like ten years ago, I was just along for the ride.

We look forward to getting the new place all put together and in having our friends over to visit. Just not yet... we're still getting out of boxes!

The Dark Knight Returns, Unfortunately

We decided to celebrate Halloween in downtown Lawrence, for reasons I still need to address on the blog... but yeah, we departed from our normal Halloween tradition of trick or treating the old neighborhood (there's a hint) and instead road tripped to downtown Lawrence.

It was good, not great. Boyd was unimpressed with his candy haul. Asked if we can return to the ol' stomping grounds next year. I said yes.

But will I go as elderly Batman again? Hard to say. Looks like Evey is done with Halloween... maybe old-ass Dad should be, too!

I'm (elderly) Batman!

Kids in the yard

They had the day off school on Friday... mostly chilled (Evey had 6 am b-ball practice) and then we went outside and started a bonfire, then hung out at the Hall of Justice.
