  Swinging After naps and before Ben got home I took the kids to the park.  I’ve tried once before to put Betsy in a swing, but she was not quite ready.  So I tried it again today and she loved it.  It was overcast and breezy this afternoon so it was really enjoyable to … [Read more…]

The Fan… When the electrician got here (2 hours after he said he’d be here) he said our fan wasn’t rated for wet location.  When we bought the fan we told the woman who helped us exactly what we were doing with the fan and so we only had a few options.  The one we … [Read more…]

Sitting up in the Bath She isn’t 100% sturdy sitting up in the tub, so I had my hand behind her for most of the time, but she was super excited about it.  You can probably tell by her blurry hands clapping for herself. The guys finished the pergola today, the construction of it at … [Read more…]
