A hole, some paint, flowers and a door

This past weekend we had the wonderful pleasure of having my parents in to visit. It was an extremely productive weekend around the house both inside and out. Dad and Jim worked on fixing a leak in the basement which meant having to dig up a small area beside the house...hence a hole! Then Jim and Caleb did a little painting on some of the wood work around the house for it was starting to chip so they scraped off the old paint and applied the new...hence some paint!! Mom and I were able to move some of the flower from the front of the house and plant some very hardy mums, iris', daffodils, and tulips...hence flowers! Finally one of the major projects completed this weekend was the installation of a new screen door in the front of our house...hence a door!! There were many fun times where we all laughed...and by working together we accomplished a lot! I want to thank my parents for taking time off work to travel out here to help us get a few projects done around the house!!

Labor Day Fun

Last Monday we spent the day with Jim's dad, Denise, sisters, brother, nieces, and nephew. It was so nice. In the morning Caleb and I made Rice Krispy Treats together for the afternoon picnic. Once we got to the Thornberry household in Hobart the fun began. We had a wonderful time talking and catching up with everyone. Soon Jim and I will be uncle and aunt and Caleb a new cousin to Jim's sister, Heather's, baby boy to be born in October. While Nana cooked a wonderful meal on the grill the little kids and a couple of big kids got the chance to play with the hoover disc. All i can say is that it kept us all entertained for a large part of the day. Check out the video below of our fun times with the totally awesome Hoover Disc!! We hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Labor Day!! Caleb starts flag football soon so stay tuned for some new blogs!!
