Brock has a backyard

Hi All,

I am very happy to report two big pieces of information for the Lamontagne's. First, Mariah and I officially closed on a house in Cincinnati. The house is in a great little neighborhood about 10-15 minutes away from my work. We have great neighbors and lots of dogs. Brock is very happy to have a big backyard to play around in.

The other good piece of news is that Mariah has officially become a permanent resident of the United States. After an agonizing 1.5 hour wait, the interview took 15-20 minutes and we were approved.

Below are some pictures of our new house.

San Francisco - More pictures

Hi All,

Mariah and I have been meaning to post some more pictures from San Francisco. We visited the Legion museum which is located right next to the Golden Gate bridge in an area called the Presidio. We traveled across the city by bus to see an Annie Liebowitz and Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. We also went to Alcatraz for a night tour. It was a great experience. We were on the island for 3 hours where great views of the city including during sunset. The prison was very very creepy at night. I would highly recommend taking the night tour and booking ahead.

We are happy to be back but we can't wait to go back to visit more of the city. For those of you who ask if we saw Haight and Ashbury, we did not but we are planning to next time :)
