Our summer is shaping up nicely

By Jenny | May 29, 2007

Right now, we have three children employed. This means Nathan is going again this summer (with hopefully no repeat of last year’s incident), Cori is working at her job, and Anna got a job in town here. It is a completely new thing to us to have to plan around their jobs, and not just our jobs. Weren’t they just toddlers last summer?

We are possibly looking at having to visit Jennifer’s family this summer-her father is having surgery this week. Also, we hope to see Grandma Marcia at some point this summer. With swim lessons, school planning, and more of the kids being gone, it is a new season for our family. Cassie is busy with horse lessons, and the youngest boys are busy running around, spreading Legos into as many corners of my hope as possible.

That is the update!

Jode brought home a ton of bricks

By Jenny | May 29, 2007

Literally.Our church was demolishing a house they owned, in order to build more church buildings there, and so we had asked for the chimney. Jode has plans to build a brick patio in our back yard. I am looking forward to it, because we want to build an arbor, with flowers, and a bar-be-que, etc. It was really quite ingenious to ask after the chimney, if you ask me.And, Nate did an awesome job of spending all day (and I do mean, all day!) digging through the rubble to retrieve our ton of bricks. 531 bricks, exactly. Which was a ton.Our plans are not finalized yet, but we are hoping to possibly fence the yard, or at least get a dog run in. Jode is letting me decide where the patio will go, but he has the design going. It is a lot of fun to plan it out together, and figure out what we want to do. My brother has a great backyard, and I will likely be calling him for advice on flowers.

A couple of photos of our adventure of late

I took this one-

And, Cassie took this one, from the inside of the car. Quite creative, I think. I have always thought she has a different perspective than the average bear…
