To follow up from our last post about putting an offer on a house...it didn't go through. We thought it was a "Corporate Relocation" and owned by a corporation, it turned out it wasn't and the owners don't seem all that ready to sell at the moment. There is not much else for us to look at right now so we may simply be in a period of longer waiting.
We did have a great time with friends from Florida. The Dreyer's came up to visit and we're here Thursday night through Sunday. They got to enjoy true Fall weather (the kind where the leaves change color and the temperature is crisp and cool - but very nice). On Friday we spent most of the day at the zoo (see the pictures) and had a great time. It was so fun to have them in town...hopefully we'll get to see them (and many more) again in January when we have a trip to Orlando for a church planting conference and we plan to swing through Gainesville.

Today we are reeling a bit from sickness (a couple of people were up all night and we're hoping it doesn't continue and make rounds through the whole family). Right now Erin and Meredith are sleeping (it would typically be lunch time) and Reed and Anna seem to be doing well. I'm just trying to hold down the fort, doing laundry and checking on the sickies in hopes that I don't come down with it too. Just as a precaution I've pretty much only drank water so far so as not to give my body any fodder. We're confident we'll recover, but it's never fun being sick like this. At least it is my normal day off for the week.

| It may be hard to see, but the leaves were gorgeous this week. The Dreyer's actually took some samples home with them to Florida. |
