12 Great Years

No, that is not how long we've been working on the house. It has been 12 wonderful years of marriage to an amazing woman and mother.
Melissa wanted water for our anniversary and a day early she got it. We've been so excited that the hose has been going on one project or another all weekend.
I wanted a tree, or many trees, and I got my wish also. Melissa and the girls got me a great tree which Mara and I planted on Friday.
Mom, dad and I worked on the rock on the front of the house and unfortunately ran out mortar. We were making good progress before that. Mom was giving the orders and it is looking good so far. We also are ready for our plumbing and framing inspections this week. With some luck we will be sheet rocking by next weekend. Progress is good!

House Work

We've been busy for the past week working on two of the three porches. We still have plenty to do to each of them. Stairs, rails and such. It's all progress. The plumbing is close to done so another inspection is coming soon. We are getting there!

Mother's Day

We spent the day at the lake for Mother's Day again this year. We had a picnic and took a walk. The girls had fun throwing sticks into the water. It was a great time.
