Kite Flying











We had a beautiful day for kite flying. The kite stayed up with very little effort at all. By the end the girls went to the park next to the field we were flying in and held onto the kite while going down the slide and such. It even put itself back up in the air from the ground one of the only times it came down. It could not have been more perfect of a day.

Chicken Pox

Even though she had been immunized with the original and then a booster, Elizabeth got the chicken pox. We weren't sure at first what it was as they never formed a the blister. After having 2 pediatricians look at her they decided the pox is what it was. She was pretty itchy but they were able to give her some anti-viral meds that kicked it pretty fast. Hopefully at this point she is 100% immunized!

The Deck

We started building a deck.  Another project we underestimated the time and funds for.  Three times what we thought the cost would be later and 10X the amount of time we still are not done.  We will have more pics to come as it is much farther already than pictured but just the holes took us a week - the entire time Matt took off work to get the deck done....  Then they filled with water even though we had them covered - from the ground up.  We had to redig some but isn't that how the story goes.
