Thank you Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we are super excited. Laura and I have an entire week off this year so that means an extra couple of days with fam, and a much more leisurely pace. This weekend we'll prep the house for winter, have our friends' Thanksgiving at Feni's place and then take off for the LOU'.

On another front, the Colorado Rapids are in the finals of the MLS playoffs and the game is on Sunday. What a tragedy it would be if we missed it especially after I accidentally went to such great lengths to prove my fanhood.

Go Rapids!

Pumpkins!

Its fall at last and we are enjoying (I am enjoying and Laura hates) the cold! Every degree drop makes us think more and more of snowboarding season. We are very excited--and will even try to go this Sunday. Here are a couple of pics of our latest adventures.

Here is my dear looking beautiful as the rain begins to fall. She chose Lopsided Lucy instead of a good old big and round one.

Time to watch a movie this evening before our soccer game! The Soloist.

Triathlon, not quite

Laura and I visited Tom for Friday night in Chicago. It was a fun filled surprise birthday for ol' Tommy boy, and then Laura, Nick, Tom O. and I got to go to the Notre Dame game. We lost but it was well worth it to experience a South Bend Saturday. We were signed up to run the Boulder Sunset Triathlon today but realized we were out of gas. Recovery this morning consisted of going to a Bronco's Tailgate and bringing Provin back to our house to hang. We're cleaning and freezing tomatoes this afternoon, along with watching the Broncos game and Back to the Future (good movie).
