our new house

Well, we finally decided to do it. We are getting stucco and rock on our house. They weren't supposed to start until Monday, but on Wed. they said they'd start tomorrow. So when we got home on Thurs. night. they had all the old off and some of the boards nailed on.

This is what we see when we look out the backdoor to the deck. I don't think it would pass safety issues at FMC. Now we just need to figure out how to make it come to the house again.

Friday brought us this far. I have never seen such hard workers.

Even Grandpa was helping. Sat. they started on the primer base.

I told Michael he wouldn't recognize our house when he came. He was the one that noticed when we got a new front door. I'll keep you updated

week with grandpa and grandma

We got to have another week this year with Michael and Jake. We had a great time. They got to play in the pool. and run through the sprinklers. As you can tell, Jake doesn't like to get his head wet.

They loved to dress up in costumes. We got a great deal at a garage sale. A box of 6 different costumes plus a couple masks that change your voice for $3. sorry for the side view. I don't know how to rotate it.

We went to the splash park.

Again, Jake didn't want to get his head wet, but Michael loved it all.

We painted rocks to put in Grandma's flowers. Guess what color Michael chose?

But my favorite was watching them just be them. What a great way to watch TV. We look forward to next summer so we can do it again.
