Here's some more of Marisa from her photo shoot #2. They turned out just great and show a bit of her personality.

Oh and just one more of Marisa. Well at least for now.

More walls going up.

More stone and the front yard.

A heated bedroom at the cabin and it's a good thing because we had snow that night.

Thomas' first day at Kindergarden and Marisa's last days at work with me.



Here is Marisa playing with her lion. Yes playing and then he helped her go to sleep.

Here we are at the water park for Daph's Birthday party, what a great idea and what fun.

After four wonderful years of calling this Thomas' daycare/preschool she's scaled it back and now it's in her home. We are very happy about the change and how great it is for Marisa and now that Thomas is in Kindergarden it works for him also. As you can imagine this playground equipment had slides and when Thomas started there this was a big piece of equipment to play on, now he looks as though he has outgrown it.
Now there is the insulation and walls which means we can it when it gets cold, which is very soon.

One very tired hard working man.

Oh yeah on top of everything else that we are doing we are redoing the front yard. Building up the yard and making a retaining wall which all the stone for is coming from the cabin property. (That is what Reese and Thomas are collecting) We lost our beautiful lawn when we had to dig a new well the day before Marisa was born. That's right our well went dry right before I went into labor. Needless to say I was glad to be in the hospital when they were digging up my flowerbed.

This is just the beginning of the first bedroom at the cabin. The stairs go up to the loft and the bedroom is on the other side of them.

We took the pool up to the cabin but it takes all day for the water to warm up above icy hurt your bones cold so Thomas didn't get in much the first day because it was too cold.

Thomas had swimming lessons this summer. He came so far and learned so much but, still doesn't like to put his head under the water, maybe next year.
