Phase 1 (June 2007): The basic structure - unfinished and without the railing or steps
Phase 2 (August 2007): Can't find the pictures... Railing up, minus the spindles
Phase 3 (may 2008): Stairs and spindles up, stain on, and caps in place

Not only did Kevin and Scott go in Lake Michigan, they also swam all the way out to the buoy - the water was only 49 degrees! Pure craziness.
The girls opted to stay on the shore. :o)
To top the evening off, we had ice cream. :o) Because you can't go to the beach without going to Captain Sundae's. They just go hand in hand.
awww... Evan, my little pumpkin head
Natalie doing one of her many dances (there are also accompanying songs). This is a girl after her dear ole Aunt Meg's heart.
My three boys in a sled
My three boys still in a sled and a daddy on the ground (Boys are yelling - keep going! get up!) Needless to say, Josh pulled a muscle and was very sore the next day.
We're loud, sometimes obnoxious, we talk over each other and get into fights. But we also love deeply, chase kids around in laughter, appreciate good food, and rally together. And when we need someone, there is always someone there, beautifully, all in the family.
So, I get to work today and check the emails that poured in over the weekend: the usual spam, newsletters, work emails ... AND an invitation to an early screening of Prince Caspian! Our company had an early screening for The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, but I was trying not to get my hopes up for Caspian. I really wanted to see it, though, and am really excited that I get to 1. see if for free and 2. see it 4 days before it opens. :) This Monday just got a whole lot brighter.
