Emily and Chris

I thought that when school was out I would be able to update this more!  However, I have now found out that without the time I’m not paying attention in class to do it, I don’t do it!  We have done SO many things since school got out!  Chris and Phil have had to replace 3 posts in our fence.  The first time they did it last summer it took them 4 weekends I think.  Now they have it down to a day long project!  We all keep joking about if the insurance business goes under at least they have something to fall back on

We put in a vegetable garden this year.  It is sorta an experiment this year.  We planted lots of things!  Carrots, peas, zucchini, pumpkins, acorn squash, crook-neck squash, straight-neck squash,  radishes, hot peppers, sweet peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes.  So far, the radishes sprung up, they look like a little carpet out there.  Also, the cucumbers died

We got a new shed!  It is so nice!  We were so excited to get rid of the piece of crap tin one.  It looks fabulous.  We also got new patio furniture.  It was so worth it!  We spend so much time outside in the summer that it was something we definatly needed to do.  I bought our wicker for $50 at a garage sale 2 years ago and it was pretty trashed then.

I got a new bike.  It is SO awesome!  Chris and I really want to try to be healthier this summer.  We also sand and repainted Chris’ bike.  It look really great.  The people at the bike shop didn’t believe that we did it with just spray paint.  I will convert Chris’ to the “dark side” of middle of the night projects!

Brie and Tilly are naughty (mostly Brie) but good.  We are a very happy little family.
