This month has been a hot one. Football season has commenced, and in the Wolfe household that means we [loosely] plan our weekends around the schedules of the fighting Irish and the Chicago Bears. I married a devoted football follower, so I may as well embrace it, right? The best part about Notre Dame games is watching them with other people. And that usually means food, fun and wet children running in and out of the house! We love hosting, and we are very fortunate to have a pool that lures people over during these hot months.
Pool basketball is also back and the "boys" get very invested in the game. We feel so blessed to have the "things" we have, but even more fortunate to have such a strong community of friends to share them with.

In other news, we got our house painted--finally! No more ugly peach. A few months ago, we also got our roof re-coated with this stuff that reflects the sun. Here are a few shots of the exterior. We're still waiting on solar, HECO is dragging their feet. They basically don't want to approve people because they're losing money on the monopoly they have in Hawaii. Hopefully we can cash in on the federal tax credit before it expires, but it's all still a big question mark. I thought I'd include some before and after photos for effect.

Absolutely lovely. You nailed it when you put the emphasis on the sharing and fellowship and not the things. Kathy
