The Driveway

Our interesting news this week ~ our driveway was completely re-done and is now concrete! It looks BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait until it's dried completely and we can 'play' on it :) A big thank you to Mimi and Poppop for helping make this much needed project a reality.

Check out the pictures for the whole process:

Before

Digging started on Tuesday afternoon....

more digging and the frames going up:

and the concrete was poured on Saturday....here is the first pour:

First half done! The guys had to wait for it to start to harden,

and then they put this nice pattern in and finished off the edges:

The second half being poured:

Chloe was watching a lot during the morning....
she was making sure they were doing it right :)

Here are the guys putting the pattern onto the concrete- they stayed on those boards the whole time they were on the surface - good balancing act!

Isn't it pretty? :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

You are growing into a compassionate, cheerful, young lady! We love you Chloe and are looking forward to this year with you!! 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
