Scott was not, we can work with Bill to see if we can get this covered some other way, if not then we can do a loan. Will you connect with him?

Why did I stop doing this?

I should really pick this back up.....

It was really nice to reread this and so much has happened since then.

I am slightly amazed at how coherent it is. Maybe I will...

The Christmas Gift That Keeps on Giving

Elliot's first Christmas was exciting! The holiday season was filled with travel, family, friends, food, presents, and more travel. We first headed to Middlesex to see Erin's family. These kissing cousins shared more than just smooches! While visiting, Elliot passed on the 'Green Mountain State' stomach bug to the entire family! As we drove away, smiling and waving, on the day after Christmas, we left behind a house full of people going at both ends! Sorry we ruined everyone's holidays (The bug lasted 5-7 days..Vermont knows how to grow em!). Even if Elliot won't remember his first Christmas, I'm pretty sure my family won't let us forget!




In Clifton Park, Elliot met up with many more cousins. Luckily he wasn't contagious anymore! I don't think we infected anyone there! Elliot got lots of great presents including a rocking train, handmade by Grampa Medick! We loved seeing everyone, and even being able to attend Michael's 40th Birthday Party!


We then headed back home so we could go to work for a few days, but we were back on the road in no time. For New Year's Eve we joined Chuck's high school friends at Jeff's lake house near Crown Point. It was so much fun to catch up with everyone, and introduce them to Elliot!

We always enjoy our time with family and friends! For those of you who we didn't get a chance to see this year, we miss you and love you, and can't wait to see you in the new year!

Elliot's Autumn Day Of Fun...

Autumn has been absolutely beautiful up here in Vermont! The leaves are SO PEAK! We took advantage of the great weather last Sunday and took a trip to get a pumpkin and some apples.

Elliot had fun picking out his pumpkin, carving a nice face into it, and then lighting it once it got dark. Ok, so he had a little help with some of it.

As you can see from his face he is quite amazed with the world around him. You can almost tell what he is thinking..."Can you believe this Jack-O-Lantern thing, what are you people thinking, can I put it in my mouth?"


Chuck baked up some pumpkin and canned it, to be made into yummy pies at a later date. I think we will end up eating all the apples before they make it into a pie. Elliot has enjoyed some of the pureed pumpkin, as we are starting to trial some fruits and veggies. He is quite fond of bananas and pumpkin, however not so excited about the avocado.

The Stove

Moving the 700lb wood stove was interesting. It actually went a lot smoother than I thought it would, being 700lbs and all. Anyway... I couldn't have done it with out the help of my dad, mike, and sean. Thank you, you big strong beefy guys. The guy that we bought it from actually showed us that you can roll it on some steel pipe. The action that you see is me and sean moving the pipes from the back of the boards that the stove is on to the front.

There After Me Lucky Charms!

A perfect fall day for stealing gold!

Alright Already

People are relentless they can't get enough of the CalicoKids! I'm pretty sure there are only three or four people that look at this blog but never the less... So hear is another post. Elliot is four months and is rolling like a homie. I like to incorporate little inside jokes based on resent additions to the followers of the Cult of the Kids, if you haven't guessed none other than Rob Barrett has joined us. He has demanded a detailed examination of the Medick compound so hear it goes.... Now lets go way back.

Last July, Erin and I bought our first house. It is a small little place on a big piece of property. We have 14 acres, an awsome view and nothing but privacy. There is a bit of remodeling that we would like to do, but we will get to it soon enough. Soon after we bought the house, Elliot was concieved and there went those plans. We redid his bedroom and did a bit of painting, but mowing the two acres of grass seems to take some time. We also bought a big yellow plow truck to plow the thousand foot driveway, thank goodness with the winter that we had last year. I don't think that I have to tell anyone that Cooper loves it. Plenty of room for him to run around and we just added a indoor outdoor kennel. We have bought a wood stove and we hope to get that installed soon. That will be a post of it's own though.

So unitl you come and visit and see the view for yourself I will leave you with this picture.
