Winter Project is Finished (well 95% finished)

Still need to finish the steps out that door on the left, but the deck is down, stained and ready for evening cocktails. The total project (retaining wall and deck) took us about 4 - 5 months to complete, but we saved so much money doing it ourselves, it was well worth the wait.

Dancing Bear (or Clown...whatevs)

Sarah has been taking dance classes since the Winter. It all led up to her BIG recital last weekend. I apologize for my shaky camera work, I had a 5 year old boy on my lap who was a little excited for his little sister and wouldn't sit still.

Anyway, Sarah Jane is the 2nd girl on the right and she did a WONDERFUL job!

Abby at 1 Month

She is starting to figure it out, well everything except how to nap during the day. That is when the above comes into play. The crib and the bassinet are no match for Mommy or Daddy's chest!
