Good Fences::Good Neighbors

We are lucky enough to have good neighbors (of course we do, it's the greates cul-de-sac ever) and now, a good fence. Our fence has been there since the house was built around 25 years ago. I am amazed it has held up as long as it has. We have had a lot of wind this winter and the fence finally gave in. About 3 of the posts were completely rotted out and 1 was cracked at the bottom. With much help from the Supon family and our family, the fence is as good as new.

Tilly kept watch from her horse while......Josie and Oliviakept watch from above.

Slip Slidding Away...

One more hot weekend. I was at volleyball camp all day but Chance and the girls seemed to be having some fun. Matilda is starting to take some steps on her own. I think 4 is her max. Marg she will be all set to walk around the front porch at the lake :)

Another hot weekend!

Another hot weekend...another day in the backyard pool. Thank goodness for this pool (thank you Ray & Clarissa - the only good thing about you moving) or we would all be melting. Things are cooling off a little, only 90 today. At least we haven't had too many wild fires, yet. I can't wait until we can just jump in the lake to cool off. It can not come soon enough...




...And who doesn't get dressed up, play with make-up and put on a show after pool time. This was mostly a sing-a-long from The Sound Of Music. Good times!

The New Wood Shed

Some of our friends from the greatest cul-de-sac ever are moving to Farmington, Maine. Although they have tried to convince us to move with them...there is even a volleyball coaching job available, we decided to take their wood shed and wood instead. For all of you that have come to visit in the winter this should be a welcome sight.



After a lot of hard work from Chance the shed is about half full and as you can see, there is still a lot of wood to move. Can't wait for the snow!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon...

It was officially 101 degrees today so we spent a lot of time in the back yard in our suits.

Not too hot for the Monkey bars!

Tilly "learned" to do this slide by herself today. I say "learned because Isabel put her on top and then went around to catch her. After the second time...Tilly decided not to wait for Isa and went by herself. She loved it!

What a good big sister. This is the first real day Matilda has spent crawling around and playing outside. I can't wait to get her to the lake!

If you're wondering why there aren't more pictures of Josie it's a couple of reasons. She doesn't stay still long enough to take a picture and while I had the camera out she was watering the plants, flowers, every blade of grass, weeds...anything she could reach with the hose.

Happy Times!

A new way to entertain Tilly. She was loving it, once Josie learned to control the starts and stops.

Huge Wind Storm

There was a huge wind storm last night and we had quite a few branches come down. This is just one of the many. Now the fence is all wobbly and needs to be fixed.



















More carnage...

Jil's New Washer/Dryer

I know this isn't really exciting stuff, but my mom wanted to see what the washer and dryer looked like in that small room. So here they are. I love them - notice how tall they are!!!
