MCCAIN 14 - OBAMA 13

Holy cow! McCain wins the family straw poll by 1 vote!
McCain was ahead for a while there but Obama gave him a run for his money.

Thanks to everyone who voted. That was fun.

Is there a margin of error?

Kelley and Matt's Reno blog

Hello - I've decided to start a blog to track the renovation of our house. You can check it out at

www.143fisher.blogspot.com.

Feel free to comment. I'll try to update at least once a week, as long as there is something to share.

Enjoy. -Kelley

And I've added the feed from Kelley's blog on the right hand column (where Red Sox news once was.)-jn

Westboro Renovation Begins!

Many of you know we've started our home renovation at 143 Fisher Street in Westborough. Demolition has begun and our backyard is a huge hole for the new foundation. Our plans include re-building the second floor - transforming it from a glorified attic to two bedrooms and a bathroom. We'll add another 1/2 bath, a dining room, family room and office/guest room off the back. We're so excited and wanted to share some pictures as we move through the process. Here are a few from last week. We're looking at February/March for a completion date. For now, you'll find us living back at mom's. She has already been such a HUGE help to us, we COULD NOT do it without her. Stay tuned... -Kelley, Matt, Camden and Lucy

P.S. With more space, we look forward to hosting a Nealon Christmas Party in the near future!

Libby has reached her goal!

Congratulations to Libby who has surpassed her own fundraising goal of $3,895.

Matt and Callie - California Bound!

We will be leaving Wed (8/27) through Tuesday (9/2), hoping to stop in Chicago, Denver, and at the Grand Canyon!! I will be Matt's co-pilot, moving him out there where he will be moving in with a college friend. We are extremely excited for our trip and can't wait to take in all the amazing sites. It will be quite interesting since we have 3,291 miles to go, roughly 46 hours sitting in Matt's very nice little Honda Civic :) I plan on taking many many pictures and hope to get them up on Gramma's site very soon! Hope to see you all back in MA soon, that is if I come back, I hear it's hard to leave that place (just kidding). Wish us luck! Talk about a lot of sibling bonding time, I know Matt can't wait :)

Worcester Idols

On Saturday August 9th, we unfortunately missed the beach party but we did do something very exciting! We were at the DCU center in Worcester for a dance competition and that night was the Idols Live tour. We all ran outside and saw the Idols greeting the crowd. We got autographs from David Cook, David Archuleta, Carly Smithson, and Kristy Lee Cook. Here are some pictures of us, our dance friends, and the Idols.(leslie is squished in the back-left of the one with Kristy Lee Cook and I'm on the right of her.
