Snow in Scottsdale?

Look carefully (or click to enlargy) and you can see snow falling in this picture.


Yep, it snowed here. We had about a week-long cold snap that culminated last Sunday with (gulp) snow in Scottsdale. I assure you that we didn't need any snowplows or shovels but there was enough to dust the ground for a while.

We're doing well. They've dug the foundation at our new house lot last week and plan to get the foundation done this week. They are predicting completion in October or November (so that probably means November or December).

Kathryn is doing well. She's to that uncomfortable point in the preganancy at which she's ready for it to be over. She's been a trooper, though; she's still going to the gym 3 times per week. She's had several women approach her there over that last couple of weeks to tell her that she's inspired them to stay active during their pregnancies.

Hudson is spending a couple of nights with Papa and Grandma at the motor home this week. Landon was pretty upset that his brother left; despite his brother bossing him around all the time, he apparently really likes to be around him.

Funny Hudson Quote of the Week:

When Rick told Hudson, "Instead of going to the motorhome with Papa and Grandma, why don't you stay here? I'd like to spend time with you this week."

Hudson: "Well, Daddy, you have to learn that you don't get everything you want in life."

Smart Hudson Quote of the Week:

Hudson asked why a motorcycle was called a motorcycle and Rick explained the "motor" part and the "cycle" part of the word. Then he asked why a car is called a car. Lacking an etymological knowledge of that word, Rick strayed into defining "automobile." To which Hudson replied:

"Then a motorcycle is also an automobile since it is self-moving also."
