Today

Two very delightful things about today: First, no rain. Not one drop. Jan Michael even came away with a little sun-burn on his neck. Second, a youth group of very nice, helpful, hard-working kids came out and spent all day working with us. Their combined hours were divided between the home owners, so Brent can add an extra 11 hours to his total for the week.

One crummy thing: Brent learned yesterday that he had to work today, so he left the house at 4:45 this morning to take a load to Oregon. He then came straight from work to the site, arriving at noon, and worked until almost 6:00. So, a very grueling day for poor Brent.

Sweet baby boy!
I like this one for about 10 different reasons.

Handsome huband, cutie-patootie nephews, crazy-haired me :)

Also, our favorite quote from the weekend: Derek had been asking to take a "trip," so Jan Michael took him outside to tromp around. They were headed toward the pond, and just as Jan said, "Derek, do you think we'll see any frogs?", a little one made its appearance by hopping from one lily pad to another. Derek saw it and immediately commanded, "Derek. Hand. Frog! NOW!" Hahahaha, we've been laughing about it all weekend.

awesome! thanks again for the help and sorry I didn't call jm back Friday night. We got in late and then figured you guys were out working Sat :) Paul told me about the kids coming in when I was out there Thursday. I was imagining a serious madhouse, but it sounds like it went well :)

yeah it went fine, paul had me directing traffic for much of the day, they worked hard, and we got a good amount done, good news is, brent only needs 19 hours for the rest of the week and he's all caught up and solid.
