Just the Kids

The Cute Quartet

Joshua:

Joshua climbed a tree for the first time the other day!

Rachel:

Rachel can write her name following the dots that Mommy makes.

Madelynn:

Madelynn fell down three basement steps for the first time. She was fine, just a few tears. Madelynn is also learning her shapes, colors and letters. (none of my doing, she's just watching and listening to the older kiddos!)

Hudson:

Hudson is getting a little stronger, holding his head up and standing on our laps. He smiles occasionally and says the classic "coo". All the kids love him with squeezes and kisses.

Easter!

Before Church:

In the evening, the kids kept shouting to each other:

"Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!"

And then Madelynn would pipe up: "'Deed!"

Of course it's hard to get the real thing on video, but here's a try:

A spring cruise by the lake

The Garage Mahal (Not OSHA approved)

We thought you might like to see a bit of what Joel and his team are working on. There is a house they added onto, and then the owner wanted a rather large (under exaggeration) garage built in front of the house.

Joel takes you on a quick tour of how to get up to the top:

Below:

Far center is the original one-story house. To the right is the two-story addition to the house. Foreground is the ridge of the garage plus loft with two of the four dormers.
