New patio


I learned something about my husband this week. Well, OK, I already knew it but he took it to a new EXTREME. He has got to be obsessive compulsive. The man has worked outside in this 95+ degree heat everyday for the last week - ALL DAY. He got started on the new patio and has worked like a crazed man to get it done. Don't get me wrong....this is one of the things I love about this man. He NEVER (and I mean NEVER) starts something that he doesn't finish. But REALLY! An entire patio of bricks in a week????? Unfortunately, when he got it done, the bricks weren't the same shade so he's going to have to take some out and exchange them for the right color. Thus the pictures...YES my friends, he not only finishes his projects - he makes sure they are as close to perfect as a layman can make them! So I have another few days of watching him sweat profusely whilst he works outside. He will be ready for the heat when football season arrives though!

As for the family......they are awesome! I'm excited to see how much weight Kaylee has gained at her doctor's appointment tomorrow. She is an absolutely beautiful baby girl. I realize I may be a little prejudice but she really is! Perfect little nose and ears......adorable!

As for the other little love of my life, Kurt-Burt has been around quite a bit the last few days. I'M LOVING IT! He's so much fun now. At 18 months, he picks up some interesting phrases and even loves my guitar playing and singing! What more could a grandma want? I couldn't believe it when he handed me a guitar and then asked for more after I tried singing and playing! The poor child must be tone deaf! HAH! I have always loved this age of 18 months to 2.5....they are just so loving and playful. Check out my picassa site for some hilarious pictures of him. We got tired of changing diapers Friday so we just let him swim and run naked in our yard. He LOVED it.

Kim and I plan to go see my parents this week. Long drive but I'm really excited to get back to Destin and some good conversations with them. The phone only works for a while. It's time to see them and give some real hugs!


I'll continue to try and post new pictures.
