The livin' is easy

We're enjoying our new outdoor space!  The deck is wonderful for visiting with friends, relaxing, and playing!  Joseph and Nora's favorite thing to do though is probably riding bikes out front - especially when our neighbor friends join in!  And swimming in the pool.  Who doesn't love the hard sided pool with slide!  We'll be sad when that one is a goner.

Our Newest Addition

Quite literally!  We had a deck put on the house this year.  In a short lived fit of reasonableness, we hired it out. :)  It was still a hassle, confirming my suspicions that you never get off easy with home renovation, but I love the end result.  It, too, is 95% finished.  LOL
