The Heagy House: October 2007

Well its been two months since my last post so I thought that since there seems to be a lull in activity I would update those who still have an interest in this blog and the Heagy family's lives. Our lives have been a buzz of activity for the past couple months. Since around the time Emma was born I have been working a minimum of 50 hours a week at my job trying to get the finishing done for the restaurant that we are working on. The restaurant is called Ruth's Chris. Some of you may have heard of it. It is a steakhouse chain that was started by a lady named Ruth (obviously) in the States and eating there has come to be a prime dining experience. The location where we are building the restaurant is on the +15 level of the Calgary tower. I have been staining and lacquering the mahogany for the restaurant since May and it will be opening with a VIP dinner on November 1st. It is now getting to the last couple days before we have to be out and we are busier than ever trying to get the last pieces into place. Stay tuned for pictures of the finished product.

This past Friday Jenn, Emma and I attended what is becoming an annual event. For the last two years we have been getting together with friends and carving pumpkins the weekend before Halloween. As you can see from the photos that are posted below some people have become quite creative with their pumpkin carving. There were some traditionalists in the crowd, but it seemed for the most part that we had some "non traditional" carvings.
