Memorial Weekend

Hooray..Reg started the process of putting in our new patio..This picture shows the BBQ area..We are going to use cobble-like stones that have a reddish tint to them and will match the character of the house

This picture is the start of sod removal..Reg is taking on this project...the patio will be made of cobble-like stones with a reddish tint to them to match the character of the house and all its brick.

I wish I could say I was helping in this endeavor so far, but I was having too much fun getting caught up on my quilt...5 more squares to go...all the extras are done! WHEEE!!! Next I have to finish May's square, then I might work on getting last year's quilt done..


All in all it was a good weekend!

Happy Birthday Bruce Reed!!

We went to Poulsbo Saturday to celebrate Bruce's birthday...59 and holding! Also there was Roger Fritz, who we haven't seen in a long time! Andrew made a brief appearance as he was working and Teresa was there for a little bit. Here's Teresa..close to being 19! WOW..She plays piano and is very good..She played for us! She's talking to Emily on the phone! Those girls spent a lot of time together in their early years.
David and Andrew..with Reg thrown in..Andrew is an excavator and had been working..so he was a bit on the dirty side! :)
HI CATHY!!!
Bruce and Reg..friends for life! Bruce's alzheimer's is progressing, but he still knows who we are, thankfully..I guess the way to describe him now is delightfully forgetful. We love you Bruce!

Here she is....................

Here is our baby girl..our 99.99% baby girl...the one picture that shows the baby, you'll notice a small dark spot..that's the heart!! The next picture is of the baby's feet..Emily said the technician was enamored with the feet.

Emily's home this weekend. Reg and I went down to Kelso and heard the Wind Ensemble play at Kelso High School. Then we went to Azteca and now have Emily home for the weekend. She's in the homestretch with school...and..she really looks pregnant! WOW!! We're going to take some belly pics..I'll post later...

Good news, bad news

Today Emily had her ultrasound..that was good...I was supposed to go, but Alaska Airlines seemed to have difficutly getting any plane to Spokane..that's the bad news...It was very frustrating...But thanks to Lois Penick, Liza's mom-in-law, Emily made it to her appointment with her friend Liz...THANK YOU LOIS!!

Oh, by the way...IT'S A GIRL!!!
