Summer work and 7 months

In honor of my Yankees loving friends, I wanted to start this post off with a little fun. We love you Alan and Carla!

Now onto summer work. Now that the weather is getting warmer, Steve and I (and Bri) have been getting some work done on the outside of the house. We would like to paint this summer but we have a few things to take care of before that is possible. One is to take down TV cabinet in our back yard. We didn’t take a good before picture so I’ll have to use one from when we first were looking at the house. You can see the cabinet in the middle left of the picture. I’m standing right next to it (well, I’m behind a post).

Here’s Bri and I working on removing the screws.

Here’s Steve using his brute strength to remove the roof.

I leave Steve to feed Brielle and he finishes pulling the cabinet down from the outside of the house…

Notice the whole left behind. Oops.

Angry face.

Actually, turns out the wood was pretty rotted out behind this portion of the cabinet. Steve is currently taking out a whole section of the wall and replacing it with brand new siding. I’ll try to get pics of that later.
And now, 7 months. I’m not going to do the folder thing like last time since I know you guys couldn’t look at the files without signing up for blogger. Lame. Since I couldn’t choose, here’s a bunch of pictures of Brielle at 7 months.

Here’s a face I’ve never seen before or since. The camera caught her just right.

I love all the photos. Can't wait to meet Bri, she seems like quite the little character (no surprise given her parents ;).

We may try to plan a road trip through your neck of the woods this summer for our 10th wedding anniversary. We'll keep you posted if that actually turns into more than just a dream at this point.
