I suppose it's time for a quick progress report on the work going on around here for those who are interested. Work on our house addition has slowed (stopped), but we hope to get moving on it again soon -- at least the windows have finally been ordered!
Work on the windmill includes Brian fortifying the base:
And then having a LOT of concrete poured this weekend to fill it in!
The past couple of weeks we have had Brian's brother-in-law Brandon here (married to Brian's younger sister), plus our nephew Corey (a son of Brian's older sister). They are here working for the summer on the house my parents are building. My kids love having uncles and "big" cousins around! Love this picture of Hayley and cousin Corey:
One of their first project was putting up an archway and fence to mark the entrance to my parent's property that adjoins ours. One of the first steps was digging the post holes. McKay loves to help whenever he can (and I love that he loves to help).
The trickiest part I think was figuring out how to lift the heavy thing once it was all welded together. This didn't quite work:
So they went this route instead:
McKay is a careful observer as always.
It got painted and looks great!
There is also some excavation work going on for the basement of my parent's home.
A great place to run and explore!
It's going to be a busy summer!

wow, you guys are doing some huge projects! Seems like a lot of fun. And as always your kids are so talented with piano and story writing and telling!
You're making me tired. I think you need a break. :)
