Yesterday Ryan performed in front of an audience of about 50 people during his first recital. Thought you might enjoy his performance...as Ryan said, "I messed up on Chimes," but I think he handled it very well.

Work has Begun
on our new deck!!! This a project that we have been thinking about for a while, and we waited until our old deck was literally coming apart. Our plans include a large stone planter and an arbor with ceiling fans and low voltage lighting. Some might think of this as going overboard....but Kevin insisted on the fans (as a way of keeping cool and keeping bugs away). So it mushroomed from there.
So let me share with you some visuals of our progress to date.
There used to be a rickety old deck here:
James digs the first hole for the footings:
The lumber for the framing arrives:
Framing is almost complete:
A large stone planter will be built in the foreground (where the wood scraps are laying):

Ryan's Big Day
Today Ryan made his First Communion. It was a wonderful day. Uncles and aunts traveled many miles to witness this momentous event.
