Happy Birthday to Lizzie and Anna

We celebrated Lizzie and Anna's birthday at the Sprinkler Park with lots of family and friends. It was the perfect evening, and we almost had the park to ourselves! Lizzie and Anna ran and played until it was time for grilled hot dogs (thanks to Daddy) and yummy ice cream cake (thanks to Mommy)! What a fun day!

The Moment We've All Been Waiting For!

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Davis!! We are all so excited!!

What a happy, happy day!!

Lots of Updates for You! Actually 20!

I have been typing now for several hours......updating our blog so that you can see all that has been accomplished in the past three weeks! There are 20 new entries...so sit back and get ready!

I am sitting at this very moment (1:45 a.m.) in a Memphis hotel room with HIGH-SPEED INTERNET with 7 men! These wonderful men are Jonathan, his dad, and his 5 brothers. We are all here in Memphis for Andrew's wedding today at 10 a.m., and all the boys are here in my room because our hotel room is the only one in which there is no sleeping children. (Nevermind the sleepy wife who would love to sleep!!) However, I am truly enjoying being here and hearing their conversations concerning theology, politics, and sports...... Surely we will be going to bed soon! Andrew has to be at the church in less than 6 hours for pictures!!

Anyway....enjoy all the updates! (Especially you, Charlene, Mom, Jennifer, Robin, and all of you who are disappointed day after day after day when you check my blog and find nothing new! I'm still up at this hour FOR YOU!!! :)

Here is Jonny standing back to admire our house from the front yard........ Below is a picture of our new back door from the outside.

Here is another view of our columns and the porch ceiling.

Ready for Grass!!

We have just this week gotten all the extra lumber, scrap wood, shingle scraps, and brick mess out of the yard. Jonny has sprayed the weeds and unwanted grass with Round-Up, and we hope to begin seeding part of the yard next week with Zoysia seed. We are probably going to need some topsoil and lime in parts of the yard. This will hopefully all take place next week!

This little red wagon and the little red truck have been INVALUABLE!!! Thanks to the Smith and the McGlamery families for loaning us such wonderful equipment!!

Got wood???

Whew!! All Cleaned Up!

The drywall has been all cleaned up....Lots of lifting drywall, sweeping drywall, vacuuming dust.......And now the walls have been primed and the next phase is about to begin. We are hoping to have the ceilings painted this week, light fixtures hung next week, and all the electircal work finished so that we can turn on the lights and the air-conditioning by the last week of June. We need the air on so that our hardwood floors can get used to our house's humidity and temperature. This is very necessary so that the floors won't leave gaps or warp after we install them. So, electricity, tile, hardwood, etc....are the next big steps.

The truck----ready for the Holly Springs Dump!

Look Who's Exhausted!

Jonny was found asleep on the playroom floor today after we picked up all the brick and drywall this week! It has been a long, hot, and back-breaking week. Bless his little hard-working heart!
