On to Phase 2!!

 Hello Everyone!
Just a quick update.  We are enjoying the hot, humid, mosquito filled summer days here in Cleveland.  Well we can't say we don't miss Asheville and Eugene some days!...Well many days.  But fun with family on my parents 10 acres or times on the westside with Staci's folks fills the days.  Add in some new friends and our constant efforts to get Chrysalis started and our lives are full.  We have just reached a big goal in our pursuit towards our outreach!  Every new partnership we sign up into the publications I run goes directly towards Phase 2 of the Chrysalis Plan.  In other words we now have residual income for both our family and the vision we have set before us!  This is a great big step for us and we look forward to getting on the property.  We have been offered a great piece of property for an unbelievable price but don't know if we will have time to make it happen.  Who knows why it was set on our laps but if anyone wants to give us 2 million dollars to buy this Mansoin on a 120 arce golf course let us know ;)

Have to run to a photoshoot!  Have a blessed Fall and hope to connect soon

Niah 8, Analyse, 9.  Cecily 3 and Lukah 5!

Progressing Forward...in the Cold!

Hello All
I wanted to quickly give you an update on the Dashers!
We have settled in to our brick house which is ok at keeping out the -18deg  temperatures but it is COLD!  Its hard to get things done when all we want to do is snuggle up under the down comforters all day. That said we do get out of bed...usually an hour early due to a 2 year old demanding us to get her milk from her crib.  Well the we part is not totally true. Staci has been a champ hitting the gym every other day at 5:30am.  She is feeling and looking fit.  I'm the guy about to put a mini fridge in there with her so I can get that extra hour of sleep!
The girls are still homeschooling but we have found 2 wonderful co-ops for them.  One is a Classical Conversation group where they learn EVERYTHING in songs!  The other is at an art academy where they learn through, art, drama, dance and music. They are rad and fill our house with song.
Lukah is starting his 100 days of learning to read and Cecily is alway at Staci feet asking to be picked up.  I don't know how she does it.
I'm off everyday in meeting with potential advertisers, meeting with residents to help them share their lives, building ads for our partners, laying out publications, writing samll articles, collecting photo's meeting the photographer at shoots...wow its never ending.  I have to intentionally stop my self at 5:30.
That said I will sign off...its 5:32.  Please go check out the other blog for more about our vision and its progress!
