I am living back in Burlington, with my husband John and two children Madeline
(10) and Isaiah (8). I can't believe I'm back here, but for the most part, we like it pretty well. We certainly enjoy the quiet.

My husband is a mechanical engineer and works for himself, at home. He does mechanical and electrical design. I work for him part time. He is from Pembroke, ME and we've been married 12 years now. In our spare time we go camping and canoeing, read (we're WAY into American History right now) and watch a lot of football (go Pat's). We follow the Virginia Tech Hokies quite a avidly, as that's where he went to
College after Maine. We live pretty simply, enjoy our families and friends, don't do a lot of traveling or anything like that. We play a little chess and poker.

Our daughter is pretty outgoing and friendly after you get the ice broken, she's an avid reader and really good to her little brother. She's taking piano lessons and right now, she wants to be a movie star or something when she grows up. I took her to her first concert this year (Kelly Clarkson) with her best friend. We spent the night in Portland, went out to dinner and all that. It was pretty fun, actually, despite not being my type of music at all. I'll have to say that it was all because of Kathy and Earl though, because I'll never forget how cool I thought they were for taking Lisa and I to Bryan Adams in Augusta way back when.

My son more shy and serious, he loves to build and play games (he's playing chess now, and can beat me occasionally, he always beats me at checkers, much to my dismay). Right now he's pretty interested in all things electrical and is learning the basics of how it works. We're thrilled, of course, and hope he'll be an electrical engineer so we can expand the business when he's 12 (just kidding folks). Anyway, I marvel at the both of them every day. I'm amazed with most children anyway. I guess. I can't believe how clever they are. I really enjoy them more the older they get, I hope it stays this way.
We live in, basically, a run down shack! But we're building a new home we hope to have done by next winter. We only bought this place because it was really inexpensive and on a beautiful piece of land. Our new house will be right on this lot. We designing and building the whole thing ourselves so progress is slow, and we have to fit it in between jobs, but it's fun and we're really enjoying the process. You can watch our progress at http://mooresroadhouse.blogspot.com though there won't be ANY progress until spring.
