What basement leak?

My handyman, Aaron, has been busy! (As usual.) Everytime we had a semi-heavy rain, our basement carpet would end up very wet. It was in an unusual location though and so it took us a long time to track down where exactly the water was coming in from. But once we did, Aaron was on it!

Before:

Since we* had to tear things apart to get to the leak, we* decided to go ahead and finish the job right!

After:
Aaron did an awesome job! It was his first time doing tile and he's already pro.

*When I say "we", it was all Aaron.

First visitors of 2010

We finally got some visitors this year! Aaron's parents, Kirk and Vicki, came and stayed with us last week. The weather was great and we had a very nice time with them here!

Haylee's first ride in the Stinger (power wheels). She loved it!

Olivia got to stay home from school one day last week and we all went to the Museum of Natural History. Loved it! I personally thought it was better than the Children's museum. Here we are hanging at the bat station.

Just touching some dead owls...no big deal ;)

Now we're just playing a little Captain Digestion pinball!

Haylee even took a nap! She rarely sleeps anywhere but in her bed or carseat.

Carter and Olivia loved this display of a growing fetus.

Olivia loved this real mummy. Especially since that is what she's going to be for Halloween.

Hangin' with the wolves.

Thanks Kirk and Vicki! We loved having you here and we appreciate the fun day off at the Museum!

On another note...this bag of popcorn was possibly not even popcorn at all? It never popped! Just started burning up inside of our microwave and now our house smells great (no, not really). A new microwave may be inevitable as every time we warm something up now, the smell is horrible.

First leaf raking of the year...the kids loved it!
