Tayman & Taylan's 7th Birthday Party!

Wrapping Up a Busy Beautiful Day

After all our work was finished, we headed out for dinner at Puleo's Grille. We met up with Luc and Mandy there. Noah sat across the table from Luc and Mandy, and my-oh-my(!) was he flirting with them! It was so neat that it worked out for all of us to get together!

Perparing the Nursery

While the guys were outside playing the in the dirt, Jess and I were inside "nesting". I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

I'm really thinking I need to start my own organizational consultant business...

And That's How It's Done

This past Saturday, Jeff, Noah, and I drove down to Knoxville to visit Andy and Jess. We wanted to help them get ready for the baby...he's expected to arrive around the 29th of this month...so not much longer! Andy and Jeff spent the day working outside on landscaping. The weather was perfect, and they got a lot done! At one point, Jess was peeking out the window to check on their progress, and this is what she saw...

I guess Andy was ready to get rid of the mound of dirt in their backyard and came up with this solution! :)
