No, Joshua isn't being sent to military school, Ant Megan's Halloween costume came in the mail a few days ago. Complete with dog tags and camo face paint.

So tonight there will be a surge strategy implemented in our col-de-sac to try to root out the candy-givers and bring them to justice. What can I say, we are staying the course.

The Cowboys

What can I say, I'm disappointed. I live next to the city with the worst NFL football team in the U.S. And its not just a bad year, the Lions have never been good. I simply can't root for them. One part of my Texanship (and yes, I'm a Texan, and so is Joshua) that I flaunt aggressively is that I'm a Cowboy's fan. The big star, the new stadium, its everything I love about my home state. I really hope they can pull it together because I'm planning the mother of all superbowl parties if they do.

Oh.. and Owens, there is no "I" in team. There is also no "jerk" and "drama queen", incase you were wondering. Grow up and get open or shut up and block someone.

Follow the story if you can

Brilliant!

catchup

Wow, its been a while. So many things have been going on and we've been having a great time. My mom came up to visit last Saturday and spent the week catching up with Joshua, spoiling us with amazing cooking, and we've loved it. Unfortunately today she is off to Chicago to visit Chris in Chicago.

Sunday we all went to an Apple orchard and had a great time. Last year we did the same thing but waited too late in the year to go. This hear we hit it perfect, lots of apples, beautiful weather, and beautiful company. Here is a flickr set of our visit



Joshau is doing fantastic. We had to switch day cares a few weeks ago and once again we got really lucky. The new place is a really cool place that he can grow with and his old teacher is there also, which makes the transition easier. The first few days off drop offs was a little difficult but now he is basically running out of my arms to get started with the day. Oh, and his new trick is singing, a lot..

I've still been plugging away at Zattoo and loving every second of it. The market obviously has me a little worried but, due to luck and not any planning on my part, I haven't done too bad.

hello old friend

Sorry its been forever since we've spoken. Things are going fantastic in the Duty home, and I promise to write a juicy post in the next few days. Until, then enjoy this awesome picture complements of my old co-worker, John Turner.

Awesome....

And this is our castle

Because Kerry and I are good and proper U.S. citizens, did we decide to spend our economic stimulus check on saving or paying off debt? HECK NO! We went out and bought a freakin big play set for Joshua!

This was really suppose to be his birthday present, but because of the delivery delay we just got it. I have to admit its awesome. The thing has 3 swings, a rock wall, rope ladder, step ladder, a 8-foot wavy slide, and a club house. Joshua loves it and so do the rest of the kids on the block. I have a feeling the wine circle will start residing in our backyard from now on.

Hola!

Hola!
