Progress update

We've been busy up north lately and are getting closer to the end.  We've drywalled the girls room and finished up the ceiling boards.  The rooms are really starting to take shape.  We won't start work on the two bathrooms until we have a chance to recharge a little bit.

Here's the picture from last fall:

And after last weekend:

We also have some kids who are fully into summer mode.  Here's a quick picture from Fleming's garage sale, where the girls gave us their best pitch to buy them a convertible:

We've gotten the girls set up in their new rooms at home, Jenna wasted no time at all giving it a test.  I went outside to cut the grass and came back in and she was asleep.

That's what we've been up to this crazy summer.  We should have some more pictures up next week.  Or next year, whenever...

T-ball starts in a few weeks

Jenna's summer T-ball league starts in just a few weeks and with the weather finally getting nicer it was time to get the gear.  It goes without saying that she was pretty excited after getting her glove and ball.  Three separate rounds of catch later she was still asking if we could throw a few more times.  She's already got the throwing mechanics down, we'll add fielding and batting later.

Woodland creatures...

Elsa and Nora have a school play coming up this Friday and we got the costumes finished up last weekend. We thought we'd post pictures while they were still intact. Elsa is going to be a bunny and Nora will be a squirrel.  Nora is not allowed to wear the costume around Sam however.

After the play, the next night is their first band concert.  They are very excited.  I'm not sure if all the songs, but I know On Wisconsin will be played.
