Front porch project and more.

     It's been 15 years in this house and we've made the most of the front porch but it's time to update and improve it so we can continue to make the most of our wonderful neighborhood and impromptu gatherings. Let the fun begin!
Greg tore the porch down pretty quickly.
     Our Sunday 'church-at-home' meetings are going pretty well. We especially love having cute baby Beau with us!
All the blue-eyed girls.

Sunday Selfies.
    More porch progress being made. Our great neighbors came over and helped Greg to dig holes and made a competition out of it. The kids thought getting in the holes was the best part.

    With one project another one inevitably follows. With the porch expansion Greg had to reroute some sprinkler pipe to make room for deck posts. Thank goodness he's skilled in that department.
Carter reluctantly helped where he could.
    The pets are still a great source of entertainment and distraction. Georgia loves putting her paws on Smalls. Smalls is growing more and more tolerant of his new 'sister'.
It's hard to see but Georgia has both her front paws resting on Smalls.
     The kid's teachers paraded through the neighborhood Friday afternoon and Charlie was all ready with her sign.

    And more progress on the porch. Getting things squared up so he can solidify the posts and start the framing process. Can't wait for the finished product!

     It's been a fun week and we're still surviving being home a majority of the time. With the warmer weather the kids are definitely more prone to playing outside as much as they can so having their ride on toys working has been so helpful. They're missing their school friends but they're finding a few neighborhood friends to 'social-distance' with so they're not too sad. Here's hoping our state/county starts to slowly work its way back to normal in the coming weeks!
