2 weeks worth of work in 2 days

My dad came over on Thursday night to make sure everything was ready to go. We worked until about 10:15 pm. Then at 6:30a on Friday, Larry Brown showed up and our extreme weekend began. Larry had the right equipment, skill and experience. He flew threw our footings. Before the dig Southwest Before digging West Before digging Southeast The excavator Forming it up Greg Kidman came over and showed us how to work. Pop and I would still be struggling with the east side after a whole day, and we would probably have done it wrong.

Gran and Don’s visit

Which also was in May – ah well! We’re so lucky that they bring their own bedroom with them (in their little RV). They stayed during Matt’s absence at his FL conference, which was a great big help. We had great times, including cousin Chelsea’s nursing school graduation (complete with lots of other family too), a trip to the Reagan Museum and Disneyland. Matt showing the house plans (his favorite thing to do) to Don, Gran, Buddy and Cena The lovely ladies at Chelsea’s graduation Grandaddy swinging Lucy around Amazing! Four generations of ladies Max and Lucy at Disneyland Such a highlight – Max getting to dance with the Buzz man himself Gran and Toby

Lucy is 2!!!

Well, she was actually 2 on May 10, but you know, life is a little nuts! (Especially right this minute with a backhoe in the yard!) We had a super party at Jan and Jeff’s – a great co-celebration with cousin Nathan (3 days Lucy’s elder). We’re enjoying our sweet girl so much – she’s an amazing smart, funny and animated gift from God. 🙂 Toby and Lucy How do I get this stuff off?
