SWEET photos of MUTEMATH recently at Club Nokia in SoCal. By Max Roper.

Continued work on the downstairs bathroom...

Oct 10...first day of snowfall...

Oh my...it's been 35 weeks already! The lil' stinker's growing a lot, and he's beginning to tell us that he wants out. Holly is constantly being afflicted by his kicking her ribs and squishing into her hip. It may be comfy in there, but it sure ain't cozy! He's up to 18 inches long (from my elbow to my palm!) and weighs just over 5 pounds (nearly a ripe honeydew).


Holly is still doing really well despite the beating she takes from our little Olympian. Her stamina continues to dwindle less and less, so she's cutting back on a lot of activities. But her nesting keeps her active...even though the baby's room is pretty close to prepped. We (ahem...I) still have several house projects that we need to knock off the list before he comes, though (and before the cold weather settles here).

This from a recent e-mail I received...

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like [Hurricane Katrina] happen?' Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

Preach it sister...preach.

Bye, guys...thanks for checking out Iowa.

Waiting for the MUTEMATH show in downtown Des Moines, so we hit up Java Joe's. Scenery very reminiscent of Yesterdog back in Grand Rapids. This place decorates with used stage props and backdrops from the adjacent 4th Street Theater. They serve common coffee shop munchies, but also ice cream, a wide assortment of beer, and they also roast their own beans. Odd muzak too...anything from the Hairspray soundtrack to Reba Mcentire and classical opera. I need to introduce them to MUTEMATH...
