We are all well and have been enjoying the beautiful spring weather. Tod's spring break we had tons of sunshine and warm weather and two very helpful visitors.
Because we are who we are and we will never leave this little house, baby number two means another house addition. We figure that this is major house improvement project number four. We've totally lost track of all the small projects around hear. Tod spent his week off hard at work ensuring that he would want to get back in the classroom. His father came and helped with the hard labor and head scratching. It was much needed help and very appreciated. Then later in the week my mother came with a truck and helped keep track of Grace while I pitched in a little here and there. Luckily Tod was able to get all the big work out of the way and the roof on so now we are to the inside work. This means I have to get busy. This time round we were spared any leaks and so currently have not taken any steps backwards like the addition before Grace was born.
Grace is continuing in her inquisitions into everything. Most of all she loves signage and deciphering what "skip signs" say. Skip signs are any sign with a circle and slash through an image such as a no smoking sign. She spots them everywhere and requires a discussion of any new ones that we find. She also spends a great deal of time looking for words to read everywhere. The appearance of spring means that we are spending a lot of time outside again: at the park, in the backyard, on the bike, on the scooter, and just lately in the bike trailer. We live right next to a wonderful new bike trail and now Grace can enjoy it it style.
I hope you all are having a wonderful time and seeing evidence of spring. I'll close with a few photos of the project and a few smiles.
So glad to hear the new Dillender is doing well and is at the half way mark. Also, glad to hear the other type of addition is going well. : ) Miss you all so much!! Kathy, where is a picture of you???
