new patio

Our new patio- here are before and after pictures of our patio behind our barn room that we just finished. There were remenants of stone foundations and old cobblestones, so we took those up and filled in to the stone foundations and now have a nice patio area out the door instead of a muddy mess. Here's before-



Here's after- Plus some really cute pictures of Erik and Stephie and Erik before prom in his new suit.

Nathan's visit

Nathan in his baking hat,

We have Nathan with us for the week while Liza and Scott and Scott's parents are touring Italy. Having a 2 yr old in the house keeps us all busy keeping up with him. He was helping Stephie bake- and quietly emptied several cups of flour onto the counter while she wasn't looking. SHe put him down ot clean that up and he found a box of garbage bags and emptied that out all over the kitchen.
