Busy, busy, busy

Things have been crazy around here for the last week or so. We're leaving on our trip tomorrow, so there have been huge piles of laundry to get done and shopping to do. And this is what J's been working on for the last week with his dad and friend Bill:




We have a new deck! We're throwing Aunt Jamey and Jeff a shower shortly after we get back from the trip, and we thought it would be fun to have a nice deck. We were just going to have a rectangle coming off of the little patio slab and ending at the end of the house, but things got a little bit bigger. Now it wraps around the house to take advantage of the shade from the cedar tree. It's not completely finished yet, but it will be soon! I can't wait to be able to sit out there and enjoy our backyard with a cold glass of lemonade!
