Photos from a rainy week

Rainy week in So Cal. I have been working in it all week. It was good to see the sun today. Louise took a few pictures so you can see what was going on at our neck of the woods.

The pumpkin patch shows signs of settling.

A mud stream at the bottom of our hill.

A flood at the side of the house.

Stay at home Saturday

It seem like we never have a Saturday where we just stay home and do things around the house. Well today was one of those rare days.

Louise enjoyed playing with her new sewing machine. Making blankets for Sean and Brendan. They saw one done last week and wanted to take it home. But nana said they would have to wait until they are both done.

Louise's sister moved from an apartment in San Diego last spring and gave us all her plants. She wanted to keep here pots. So we made do with whatever container we could find. The big ones sell at Home Depot for $40 and up. Big Lots get the same ones and they run $12. That many adds up fast!

As you can see they all match now. They make the patio look great!

New Years Day

I had some help New Years Day taking down the lights. Why put a ladder around when you can just put a kid on your shoulders!

These two helped by staying out of the way. The back of Papa's truck has always been an adventure.

Happy New Year!!! 2010 Begins

We would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!!!
