Here you go Nate- the backyard....

It's still a work in progress- the trim painting still needs to be done (as well as trimming out the last 4 windows I installed), but you can see the setup for the "outdoor kitchen". Fridge for beer, freezer for popsicles and meat, bbq for cooking. The backyard is also wired into the stereo so you can hear whatever is on TV during a sporting event, or just listen to CD's.

Ronnie's new look...

We went to the mall today and had a complete father/daughter day. Ears pierced, fancy lunch, and then a new hair style. Like I've told her repeatedly, it pays to get good grades.

House progress

Here you go Amy- it's not finished yet, but you can get a pretty good idea what it's going to look like when it's done.

We went to the circus yesterday...

Circus Gatti, now also known around our house as Circus Crappy. I swear, 50% of the time they were doing mini informercials on all of the souvenir crap that they were selling. I remember as a kid when they were setting up for the next act, the clowns would come out and entertain. Not so with these guys, setup time meant sales pitch time. Ugh. $8 for a 20 second elephant ride, $4 for a tiny bag of popcorn, $6 for cotton candy.

I stopped by the Mitchells just long engough to break a chair.

Julies B-Day

We just hung around the pool today. Tomorrow, out on the boat.
