Just a few pictures to share

Things are doing well in SE Tennessee.  Today we joined a few friends on a two hour river trip.  Normally this small boat goes through the gorge of the Tennessee River, but today was a Civil War cruise which took us upriver instead.  On board was a Civil War expert from the National Park Service who guided us through the decisive battle at Chattanooga.  Living history is always more interesting, and from the river it was easy to picture the layout of the siege.These two pictures are of the city of Chattanooga from the river.



After the cruise we had lunch near the river and were able to watch the many teams who were participating in a crew event.  There were teams from all across the east, including Harvard, Princeton, Auburn, etc. and several blocks along the river were closed to traffic for the event.  It was a beautiful day to be on the river, both for us and for the athletes as well, I'm sure.

Here are a few pictures of our house.  It is all under roof and the plumbers, electricians, and HVAC people have been busy all week.  The siding and the wood for the tongue/groove sections of the ceiling are stacked in the garage, and the bathtub is in place.  Scott helped Gary wire the house for audio and Internet last weekend so the house is ready for drywall as well.  Thank you, Scott

Julia got her pictures taken at daycare/school a few weeks ago so I thought I would share.  Those of you who knew Becky as a 2 1/2 year old will recognize a lot of her in Julia, but we see Scott as well..  


We are VERY tired of apartment living and I miss my stuff in storage!  Otherwise the world is good.
