A long awaited update

Where does all the time go? We continue to make progress - this weekend we parked both cars in the garage! Our landscaping (basically grading) is scheduled for the first week in June. It will sure be nice to not be tracking sand and gravel in every time we enter the house. Matt hopes to get a start on the screening for the porch within the next couple weeks as well. We have enjoyed many guests and have our weekends full for the next 4 weeks, so that leaves little time for projects...but we are so happy to have a roof over our heads and friends and family to host. This is a decal we placed on the boy's bathroom wall. Titled "Strength in Numbers," I think it works perfectly in the room and is a good lesson for the little guys as well! Blik is a great source for crazy decals of all types.

One of our frequent visitors, the boys are not even excited to see turkeys anymore! Unfortunately, our windows have become somewhat of a hazard to the birds around here...last week 2 scarlet tanagers lost their lives to the windows and the week before it was 2 yellow bellied woodpeckers. (and our windows are filthy - what will happen when we get them washed?!!)
And now for some exterior shots... The prodema worked out beautifully.
