Our new door

So we've had the deck done for a month or two and finally had a weekend to cut a huge hole in our house, remove a window and replace it with a door! We were so worried, but it was easier than we expected! Here's the progress:

We just need a touch of paint and a little step down and it's finished! I love it! And though it looks like Dave did all the work- we did it all together and it was fun! We had music and destruction! Towards the end, though, Dave's perfectionism was a little overboard and I had to lay the " let's just get it done" smack down! We make a good team! :) I make us faster and more efficient, he makes it work and look good.

Good bye friends!

It's rare when a girl ( and Mom ) finds such a great friend that everything comes so easy. Even rarer when our husbands are totally awesome friends. Rarer still when our kids love eachother ( in Parker's case, really loves Lils). He asked her to marry him many times, when they were 3 or 4! Now let's take this to the next level, we were friends and joy school Moms in Carlolina- had 2 years apart, and then they move within 25 mins!!!! Well, they moved to Idaho this past weekend. I am super sad, especially since we didn't get together like we should've. Life happens I guess, but I am happy for these guys! Love you and we'll miss you like crazy!

Diorama time!

Lils told me at 6:15 tonight- "oh yeah, Mom, I have a diorama due tomorrow!". Every mom's favorite words. But, hey, at least she's only in 2nd grade and it had to be about an animal and it's habitat! Whew! Here's a good hours work. She did it all.
