Dear Readers,

Welcome to my public blog. I use this blog now only for my non-family related posts. All of our family posts, including pictures and videos of our little guy, can now be seen on our private blog. Our private blog can be found HERE.

If you like to use Google Reader or blog lists to see when a blog has been updated, just keep this blog on those lists. I will put a post up on this blog letting you know I have posted on our private blog so that you will still get the updates.

If you would like an invitation to our private blog please leave your email address in a comment on this blog - comments must be approved prior to posting so no one else will see your address. Please don't hesitate to ask for an invitation if you have enjoyed keeping up with us through this blog. Blog Stalkers, it is time to make yourselves known! :) Seriously though, please ask for an invite if you want one and if you think I might not know who you are just give me a little reminder of how I know you.

Happy Blogging! -Lara

Parade of Homes 2009

For the past two years we have had a tradition of going to the Parade of Homes. It is fun to see the latest trends in homes, but we mostly go just to gawk at the incredible million dollar homes and dream of the day when we will have more than 600 square feet of living space. There are over 30 homes in the parade so we have been stretching out over a couple days. We have seen about half of them and hope to finish up the rest during this coming week. Hopefully we will get some more pictures of the actual homes so you can get a feel for them. In the meantime here are some photos of us.

Day One - There was a gorgeous sunset as we were getting home

Day Two - We took a break from the parade to have dinner at one of our very favorite restaurants, Paradise Cafe!



Day Two - Jayson is a big fan of the awesome home offices that are in most of the homes.

Oh, I'll bet you've seen some beautiful homes! I can't wait to see the pictures. I like home offices too.

Paul and I have always wanted to do the Parade of Homes tour but for some reason or another never made it. I always love seeing the inside of the huge houses that I could never in a lifetime afford. Sorry to hear about your flat tier. Someday I need to learn how to change one.

What a fun tradition. That is something we would really enjoy doing :)
