Family events!

  First, let me share another portion of the siding project. Greg painted the garage door, finished the siding and installed new light fixtures. The siding and painting were actually done several weeks ago but I was waiting for the lights to call it finished.

It's not the best before photo but it's all I got.

This part is DONE! I'm very happy with the over all look and I really like my new light fixtures.

     Then we had our newest niece make her appearance a bit early, much to her mother's relief I'm sure. Meet sweet little Alexis Louise Kmetzsch. She's a real life monchichi doll!

She weighed 9 lbs. 4 oz. and was 18.5 lbs. She's such a chunk and half her weight is in HAIR! Seriously, how is that even possible?!

     And because little monchichi came early we got to help watch little man, J.J.

He was quite happy with Charlie's table and stools.

Cousin time.

And J.J. was such a good boy at our Orthodontist appointment.

Elevator ride!

Hanging out in the movie cubby. Charlie refuses to sit still and gives me a real workout every time we're at the orthodontist.

      And then we had a birthday celebration for Brock who is now 7!

Happy 7th birthday!

His one and only birthday gift from mom and dad.

I think he's pretty happy about it.

It's the robot he wanted, just like his big brother Isaac's only Brock's is black.

Angry Bird birthday cake with Brock's own personal touches on his name. (This is what happens when he's alone in the back of the car holding the cake and has a bowl full of Mike N Ikes nearby.

And "Thank You, Grandma and Grandpa B. for the card and money!"

     So there's the week for ya! Some fun events with regular days in between.
