Finally Done!

We finally have grass! Going without definitely makes you appreciate the little things. Goodbye mud!
So, as promised, here is a better picture of our lovely new house.

(Please pardon the big, green hose on the front walkway. Anyone who's ever watered sod will understand.)

The things they'll do for us...

I would never be able to do this.
Makes me soooo thankful for my courageous and loving husband!
(He's over the stairs that lead down to our basement.)

All done. Whew!

Aren't I a great wife?! He'll only have to change out those pictures once every 6 months or so...

Updates

While the adults in this family have been preoccupied with the move, the kids have continued to grow and play.
Kendall started crawling on June 11th, the day we closed on our new house. She was 7 1/2 months. She has now started to push off on her feet as she crawls, and it's only going to be a short time until she's figuring out how to pull herself up. The baby days will soon be over. (sigh)

And, Jaclyn learned how to ride a bike without training wheels shortly after we moved in. There is a 6 yr. old girl up the street (yes, out of the 4 houses near us, there's a 6 yr old girl!!), and she was riding around without training wheels. Wouldn't you know that it only took a little bit of peer pressure to make her determined enough to do it. It didn't take long, and she's now zooming around! (The picture shows her on the little bike that we started with. She has now graduated to a bike that's more her size.)
