Jessie's 2nd Birthday







So we had Jessie's 2nd birthday on Sunday. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! Definitely the best day of the long weekend. It was hot, (89) but not as bad as Monday (94 with 75% humidity). The cousins from D.C. and Long Island all came. All of my new grass was able to survive or at least make the yard look somewhat decent. The kids were on the new swing on and off all day long. The big surprise of the party...STEPHEN SAMANIEGO. The latest and I believe youngest member of Hardball with Chris Matthews took his hog out for a ride and decided to stop on by. To say the kids loved him would be a understatement. Ben wanted to tell me that he invited him back any time he wants. See what happens when you pick up a ball in my back yard! I believe all in attendance had a good time. Jessie still keeps talking about her "tinky party" even now.

Work in Progress

Woke up this morning at 6 am (Thank you Jessie). This after falling alseep around 2:30 am (thank you infected tooth). So what did I wind up doing all day you ask?





Steve and I started at 11 am this morning after I finished mowing the lawn. We quit at 7:30 after being told about 30 times from our repective wives to come and eat dinner. Right now its about 90% complete. Need to hand the swings tomorrow, pick up some better bolts, and build the picnic table in the bottom.
