update

I have been just way too busy to blog. I think about it everyday, but I am just finding that everything else is taking precedence. So much has happened over the last month or so that I hardly know where to start.

One in the oven:
The biggest news is that Leslie is expecting. She is due in early January. We are getting excited and nervous about the whole prospect of there being five people under one roof. Leslie is reading Good Nights: The Happy Parents' Guide to the Family Bed (and a Peaceful Night's Sleep!) . We have loved having a family bed, but when Elliot came along we realized that 4 was the max number for our king size bed. We are now in the process of figuring out what our next step should be.

FoxDenLane.com:
Our little home based business adventure has been picking up over the last several months, and the two of us have been busy working on growing the site. We have a long way to go, but we are thankful the Lord has given us the growth that we have seen so far. As you probably know the hardest part of building a successful site is getting other sites to link to you, and to date that has been one of our biggest challenges. Well, if you have a website or a blog we would be so very grateful if you could give us a link. Or better yet, if you want to write a blog post about our site and bury the post way back where only search engines will find it we would be more than appreciative.

Other side projects:
On of the items that have kept me busy has been some work I did for one of the companies that we are distributors for. It was quite a fun project using google maps. I wrote a whole engine so that when the company adds a new distributor it should in most cases add that distributor to the map. You can check it out here.

Family activities:
Here lately we have been riding bikes quite a bit. Twice over the Fourth of July weekend we went up to the occoee and rode our bikes. The boys really like being pulled around, and Leslie and I are enjoying it as exercise and as a great family outing. I wish I had some of the pictures of the boys on the bike ride with me, but these of them swimming at the Ocoee will have to do.

Work:
Work has been very busy lately, and will be for the next year or so. The project I am working on is probably the largest project I will ever work on. It is not that the project itself is overly exciting, but the new technologies we are working with are fun. I wish I could go into more detail, but if I told you more I would be legally obligated to kill you.

I just remembered that I wanted to blog about some of the house projects we have going on, but I really need to get going. I hope everyone is doing well.
