I'll try to get the recent photos in tonight.

I'm thinking of taking Micah to NYC to see the sights and Ground Zero, as he has been interested in this for some time now. He still wants to be NYW Port Authority Policeman, but at age 13 he is still at least entertaining other possibilities. Now that he is no longer aspiring to be a ninja or jedi warrior, he is thinking about architecture, carpentry, and animal care. :)

Nathanael is in a quandary. He isn't really in a position to get a decent job now except for one-time things, which is fine. The Crowduck thing interrupts the summer and he has to be at Grinnell orientation in mid-August. My company Hillman said they'd like to have him over winter break but couldn't hire him for 2 weeks, then 2 more weeks, then poof he's gone.

Moving right along on the house. Interest rates could be better but they're doable.
