Is it Spring yet?








We have had some nice weather recently. On Saturday morning, before the wedding, we all went outside to play. We tested out Ike's new baseball toy that he got for Christmas. It can be used for T-Ball or the gadget will pop up pitches for you. After we tired of baseball, Mick and I took the kids in the wagon for a walk around the neighborhood.

Some of you might have been so keen to notice the patio-in-progress in the background. After contacting a company in June for an estimate and the continued lack of a patio in January, I found another company to do a stamped concrete patio. I guess business is slow so they were ready to start two days after we agreed to the deal. They poured the patio on Thursday, and now we're waiting for them to come back and finish it up. The color that you see is NOT the final color! They have to come out and put an activator on it and seal it. The patio has a brick-like border around the edge that will be "brick red". The inside should be a lighter beige color...the thought being that it might match our floors inside. Oh, oh! Also, there is a step coming out the backdoor that will be brick red also. The backdoor will cease to be the door to nothingness. I'm sure we'll post pictures of the final product soon.
