Welcome to our crazy life....

When I grew up I had the wonderful benefit of living a bike ride away from both sets of grandparents. Not so lucky are our kids. Even for the actual ones that live in Atlanta, it's still a about an hours drive away! So, this blog will have to serve as the next best thing to riding our bikes to see the grandparents. Enjoy watching our kids learn and grow one day at a time...

The house

So we got the stump ground up today. Caleb was pretty sad, it was his climbing wall, he cried when they chewed it up. I tried to help him look on the bright side of things by reminding him that he still has all the tree trunks to play with. This past weekend David killed 3 chainsaws cutting up the 3 downed pine trees. The kids have used the cut pieces to make houses and such. I helped a little bit by moving the log he used to prop the trunks up with to cut. He would pick up the huge tree trunk and I would slide the tiny long down for the next cut. Teamwork! We bundled up a ton of branches and hauled all kinds of trash to the front yard. It's starting to look less like a huge storm ripped through our backyard now and more like a normal yard. I was so thankful when the garbage men took it all away yesterday, sometimes they are a bit picky about what they will and will not take. The luxury of being a garbage man in Acworth. Now we just have to figure out how to get rid of the 50 or so tree stumps....free wood anyone? And the dumpster was delivered this morning in preparation of the new roof being installed tomorrow. We are getting closer to having our house all back to normal. Now if I can just figure out how to patch yet another hole in our fabulous popcorn ceiling.....
