summer projects

our three major projects for the summer:
1. poured the concrete for the RV pad. "Uncle Bert" was asher's favorite person for several weeks. he was so nice to let him drive the "digger" with him. he would tell me several times a day, "i'm just gonna go out and check on bert."
2. installed cabinets in the mudroom- just in time to stash away all the winter gear. thanks to grandpa mike and his ninja skills for putting them in.
3. a fence! again, just in time for asher to go outside and play in the SNOW. better late than never.

family pictures

i know- this is an absurd number of pictures, but i am in LOVE with them all! thanks again tara. you are amazing.

scarlet's blessing

we blessed scarlet at my parent's home on april 5th. we haven't had any of our children blessed at church. since addison was sick, we blessed her in the NICU when she was three days old and blessed asher at my parent's house as well. i sort of prefer the intimate family setting.
