After a crazy, busy 5 or 6 weeks, we have finally settled down for a few weekends and we are enjoying being lazy- as you can tell from our lack of blogging. Or maybe it's just been so boring we have nothing to write about. We are actually living vicariously through Nana D and Mr. Walker who are in Italy right now for Mr. Walker's birthday trip. I think this is a good time to remind them that they had suggested doing a trip as a family to celebrate this milestone birthday. I think they forgot a large portion of their family on this trip but we won't hold that against them. For long anyway.
Nana did manage to send some pictures from my First Communion that include mom and dad and my god parents.
I have been having a pretty good summer, bouncing around among various day camps. This past week, I was at an Iron Chef camp with the Girl Scouts. I made my own apple pie, crust and all. I thought it was wonderful even though I don't like apple pie (crazy, I know)
With all of our out of town adventures, our house and yard were looking pretty crappy. The yard was looking like an abandoned, overgrown weed pit and the house wasn't fairing much better. Mom has been watching way too much HGTV and got a wild hair and started on some projects to beautify our little piece of paradise. She decided to paint our patio chairs. Before....
and after.
And then she decided the front door needed some attention. She has a patient who owns a pottery import business and they were having a "buy one, get one free" sale and because mom is taking such amazing care of him, he gave her an additional 1/2 off that. What a ganga deal! Now she just has to complete the project by actually buying something to put in the pots. Stay tuned!
