If that's what you're into While the title is FotC there is no FotC content herein. I will mention though, before we get started, that I am pleased to have stirred up the FotC pot among not only the Blog-tet but also among those whom we vacationed with three weeks ago.

Since we last spoke we have taken on some projects around here.

#1 Kate and I briefly considered moving and started looking at houses and such. Then we realized that the housing market would be terrible for us right now, we don't really have the money (equity) to make it work without dipping into our savings a bit more than we would like, and that we are quite comfortable here for now. It was simply exciting to think about moving.

#2 Since we were thinking about moving we put together a list of things we need to do around the house to get it ready to be sold.

#2a Repaired the fence in the backyard that had started to fall apart in a couple of places. Done.
#2b Bring in some plaster guys to look at the damaged portion of our living room ceiling. Done (not the work part though).
#2c Patch the ruined valley on the front of our house. Done.
#2d Tie up some loose ends in the basement remodeling project. In progress.
#2e Replace the windows. In the research phase.
#2f Trim the bushes and trees around the house.

#3 Get Kate's car in for the 60k service. This lead me to replacing the front brakes and spark plugs.

While this has taken up the majority of our time, we have also found time to watch some movies and TV

Obviously, we have also spent a lot of time simply taking care of Charlotte.
