Homme de la maison, Monsieur beau lui-même. Hoho, je plaisante.

Not too bad for having taken french over a decade ago this month. Madame Howard would be proud.

Kansas, the final frontier.

So the kids and Lindsay had some time to enjoy the final trip of the summer to Kansas for a family reunion, and general visitation. Both Lindsay's mom and dad hail from the Topeka area so there's LOTS of family up there for them.

I was stuck interviewing for my new job (which I got, thanks) as the Network Manager for Lawton Public Schools. It's always a bummer to miss out on a trip, but it's also good to have some time alone every now and then.

Enjoy this last set of summer pictures, and we'll post some more come this fall.
