Moving update

July 5, 2006


Greetings friends and family,


How was your 4th? The weather here was lousy - we had a huge rainstorm in the middle of the day. We had planned to go to the recreation area by the lake or to a local Manyunk-type place that was having a big sidewalk festival, but we ended up staying home all day b/c nothing would have been fun in the downpour.

Larry spent the whole day with the electric drill in his hand, fixing stuff - for example, the bar in the upstairs closet fell down as soon as we put clothes on it . . . there's a lot of stuff in this house that has been done poorly. He also put in ceiling hooks for my hanging plants and hung my china cabinet (with my cream pitcher collection). It was great to get a bunch of that stuff done. Tomorrow the electrician is coming to put in the ceiling fans and the fence guy is setting the posts for our fence.

I've finally got some photos uploaded, so I'm including a few: the kids in front of the house (our lawn is full of yellow flowers and purple clover - Larry is dying to cut the lawn with his new lawn mower, but I think the flowers are so pretty) and in the backyard (with Larry on the deck); Larry fixing a broken drawer, me working on the computer in the entryway (before we got our internet hooked up) and Alana pushing Caleb in the stroller in the playground parking lot.
