This is why Jack is going through shoes faster than he should be.

The new roof is done, now we can get started underneath.

The coach keeps talking about this ball like its special.. Im just here for the chicks!

Jack is the kid who takes the ball into the next state when he gets it. He is good at keepaway, we just need to work on boundaries.
And in the end, he gets the girls.

Say a Prayer

Say A Prayer for Dave Catania. He is in ST. Tammany Hospital atm, looking at surgery. We Love you Dave!

Well, it looks like Luke won out on the poll. I like Cletus better. Ya!.... Cletus it is

Things are getting started on our outside projects. Here are some before pictures of what we'll be doing.
We are getting new windows, and a new roof. Also, I reinforced the porch with those posts, and will be painting and re stuccoing the basement.

See the flashing here, rotting out my soffets. the roof is sagging, and the gutters are bad.

Here is the rear of the house where water ruined the facia, the roof, and soffet. I ripped out the gutters a while back to let it all dry out.

Soffet in the front, and gutter. window shot of old windows, and old paint on the shingles

I did this stucco in between rain. It rains every day atm, it seems. Hopefully this will all be done by the end of April. Then we can start looking at the bathrooms and bedrooms next.

Storytime. I had to stop him twice to be able to post them all. 3 parts

This is Mindy, our new kid. She is a Bassador (Basset hound/black lab) She has the basset legs and feet, but her toes are webbed. She is really sweet, and Lucy likes her. They are getting used to each other, and are both very playful. Its cool to see Lucy showing her all her poo and pee spots. We are working on housebreaking her atm. She is 2.5 months old. The kids are having fun with her too, but she has stitches atm from surgery, so they cant really play with her like they want too yet, and we cant throw her in the tub yet.
