Another all-time favorite
Just before moving to NC, we went to Seattle for Jr's big return to the Pacific NW. Of all the times I've been to Safeco (and the Kingdome), this was probably the best.

Home Improvements
We've been through a couple of home improvements that last couple of weeks and wanted to share the results.
Ok, so it's not a home improvement but daddy is fired up about his new monitor. 23 inches of hp goodness!
Mommy's new sink. The old one was pretty nasty when we moved in...chipped, dirty, etc. She wanted one large sink as opposed to the split one we had before. After a couple of weeks, we love it.
The guy just finished painting the shutters and front door. I may have tackled this one myself, but daddy doesn't get along well with 30 foot ladders. That and I don't have one! The old paint was weathered and chipped and the difference is huge. The black looks striking against our house - once again, Molly picked a winner.
I spent all of last weekend in the yard (75 and sunny!). This space gets overrun with weeds and ground cover every summer, so we tore it up and added a ton of bark. It doesn't look like much, but I had to move a TON of bark from the front to the back, one wheel barrow at a time. I also added another layer of bricks to the wall (you can't see it very well in these pics, I'll post more later). It was a lot of work, but the results are worth the effort. The kids came out on Saturday and we had a family work day. Even though they had me working alone on Sunday, they're efforts were rewarded with a nice lawn and two massive cupcakes.

We're officially Southerners
I stopped at Cracker Barrel today and picked up a couple of white rocking chairs for the front porch. Yep, it's official.....we're Southerners.

New pix
Not a lot of news lately. Daddy spent last week in Miami at sales meetings. Our hotel was on South Beach, but my feet didn't touch sand once. Too many crummy meetings....
We've been in the high 70's/low 80's since I got back on Friday so we're back to taking daily walks. Cutler is starting to like the stroller and he is very interested in whatever is going on around us.
Adelle absolutely adores her little brother.
