Hickman Park

When I took the kids to the new house a couple of weeks ago, I snapped these photos from the large park and open field nearby. Can't wait to be able to play so close to home!

In the background are homes from our street.

Some pretty neat play structures at this park!

House 5/12

Got a few snap shots of the progress last week.

Counter tops are in. Dusty, but they're in.

Excited to see this once the grout is in. Oh yeah, and a stove would be nice, too.

His and Her sinks in masterbath. 

This wood-looking floor in actually tile. We liked how it felt, too.

House 4/22

Took Beth and Steve over to see the house progress. We bumped into the tile-worker. All the dry-wall was up and painted. Cabinets are in, too!

Kitchen

Laundry on left, Full bath on right

Master bedroom

View out the guest room. Next door is also under construction.

House 4/16

Driveway is paved.

A look into one of the room now that drywall is everywhere. This is the "bonus room" above the garage.

Taken from top of the play structure. Note Sam in foreground on his bike. He made a dozen laps in full speed.

So proud

Elsa and I spend some great quality time playing together during Sam's Little Gym class. Today she built a tower taller than herself. She was so excited.

Early Spring

Easter

Early morning, surveying the bounty: a few clothing items, modest candy, stickers, a new bouncy ball.

In the later morning, we had neighbors over and again did an informal easter egg hunt. It was raining fairly hard, so we hid the eggs inside the house. Each child selected an egg from a basket to determine which color they needed to find. Six kids, six colors.

Sam asked to keep this basket of Mom's. I said, I'm sure she'd be happy to know that you were enjoying it.
