New Deck

Every year my parents come to visit, and every year we have a project for my dad.  This year's project was a deck on the back of our house.  I have been dreaming about having a deck for several years.  With everyone helping we got it done in record time.

 The boys enjoyed helping to remove the old porch.

Foundation being laid.  The kids had a grand time going in and out of the door without a porch.

Everyone helped attach the deck boards!

 Cute little guy!!!

Steps and gate done.

 All done!

Fun walking on outside of deck

Bethy

Today my smiling girl turns six.

She likes to pretend that Josiah is her twin.

She made a new friend this year.

And spent time with some other friends.  The girl to the left of Beth was born the day before Beth and with the same midwife.

She loved the snow we had this year.
