Well, we're home again from North Carolina. We had a great time seeing Andy and Jessica and spending a little time with Doug's family for Thanksgiving. Here we are at the Biltmore House in Asheville, NC. We had a great time while touring it. I love the Blue Ridge Mountains; it is so pretty up there.

















Here's a picture of Lucas watching the bubbles.
It was fun having a baby in the house again for a whole week before we went to NC. Also, the baby birds were just clumps in the nest before we left and when we got home, you can see how much they have grown.

That is Belle sitting on the perch and the babies sitting on Chester in the nest. They get a little nervous and run to mom and dad when I approach them.
Here is a picture of Andy and Jessica's home and our attempt at burning leaves. We eventually got brave and burned them in an open pile after we discovered the trash can idea didn't work too well. There were just too many leaves.
