Family Pictures 2014

Long Time, No Blog

I'm not even sure at this point where I left off.  We are incredibly busy.  With Kaylynn being such a busybody, David works out of town more days than not, me  joining the gym, working OT, fertility Doc appts...Oy Vey!!  Just the everyday hustle and bustle.  Kaylynn is doing great ever since her surgery.  She is 35 lbs and 3feet 3 inches tall!! She will be going into Pre K next year! :( 

 

Home Improvements

 

A homeowner's work is never done....says EVERY homeowner I know! Ha!!  Well, it is a very true statement.  There is always something that needs done.  We have been trying to get more landscaping done for some time.  We took the mulch up last year and meant to get stone down.  Well Winter came and we didn't have it done. And the stone we were going to get fell through.  So, we went with 2b red stone.  It looks nice!! Poor David had to make 15 trips to the landscaping place to get it cause he could only get 1 ton at a time. (He did not want to get a dump truck full to sit here? Not sure why.) And unloaded it all by himself.  He was whooped by the time it was done.  He also started replacing the trim around the back doors because they are rotted.  And ripped the steps off the back of the house.  They are rotted also and we don't use them.

Next phase is to push our junk pile into the culvert outback.  Put our boulder there in the front between the two bushes you see.  Then onto the other side of the retaining wall and patio poured down at the basement door.  Not sure what else he has planned for this Summer, but come Spring we are hoping to get a deck on the house finally!!  Why if only this stuff didn't cost any money!

 

June/July Happenings

June was very busy so far! 
David's sisters and their families came in for the Miller reunion. David has been diligently working on replanting shrubs that died from the hard Winter.  Putting the landscape fabric back down again for stone to go down. (stone to be done soon!) I've been working a lot of OT again at work. Trying to organize and declutter this house!!

July will also be hoppin'! Kaylynn is signed up for dance classes every Tuesday in July.  She is very excited!  They said it's not real strict since the kiddos are so little.  But she should have a blast!  Of course the 4th of July should be a busy time of parades, picnics and fireworks. :)  Then the 12th is actually her birthday so that's when we are having her party! She'll be 3!! Is that even possible??  She is quite the stinker.  So funny and such a helper.  Very girly but NOT afraid to get in there with the boys and get dirty!  She's a chatterbox and extremely animated! Smart as a whip! She's our little Gingersnap!!
Of course working on other projects around the house.  Lots on the Summer agenda! :)

Miller Reunion 2014

Here are the few pics from the family reunion.  It was at a really pretty spot at PP&L Lake.  Weather wise it started off ok and a little chilly, so freezing cold and windy!  So we all kind of froze since we didn't really pack/wear appropriate clothing for that kind of weather! But it was fun nonetheless.  Not very many either this year! Hope more come in 2016!! Here is who attended:

Dave and Miriam.  Steve.  Faye.  Grandma Miller.  Marianne and her family.  Jennifer and her family.  David and his family. Marylou and Mel. Jeff and Andrew. Mark.
