The story behind the name

I have always loved sea glass because of the beautiful green, blue and brown hues that are made even more breathtaking when they are tossed in the water. I am also drawn to pretty glass bottles, especially those with unique shapes, textures or stories. When we purchased our land, it had lot of garbage where our driveway now sits. Included in this garbage were lots of glass bottles in all different shapes, sizes and colors. As unappealing as this may sound, there have been many beautiful and unique glass bottles found at the property. While we obviously do not want to drive on a green glass road, the road itself was only made possible after lots of green glass was recovered. So therin lies the story behind the name of the Adventures at Green Glass Road.

October 24, 2011

How did it get to be October 24?!!! Seriously, if I didn't know any better, I would think that someone magically removed a month in the calendar. I can't believe that we have already lived in the new house for more than two months.

While things keep moving forward at a fast and furious pace, this weekend I had some flashbacks to similar events that happened around this time last year. The first of these events was our cement pours for the foundation work. I was reminded of that this weekend as Keith was prepping for our front and back garage pads that will be poured tomorrow. The kids were very excited to help daddy do the prep work for this pour.

I was also reminded of a birthday party we went to last year for one of the kids friends, as we attended her third birthday party on Saturday. Julia and Andrew were in heaven to see some of their close friends who they haven't seen since we moved. They also enjoyed playing around at the gym and eating cake and ice cream!

We are also getting ready for Halloween. Although every day seems like Halloween since the kids like to play dress-up so often. Here they are modeling some of their favorite superhero outfits.

And lastly, if nothing else made me remminise about last October, the changing leaves would have been the undenialable evidence that time has passed. In addition to watching the leaves change outside, Julia and I collected some leaves for a class project this week. Unfortunately, neither one of us could stop collecting the leaves. I think we had a pretty good chorus between us of "just one more", as evidenced by our leaves being washed in the sink.
