Papa's Little Helper

Papa came over this morning to hang our walk-in and driveway gates.  Leah was determined to help.

Our Fence!

Since having the girls, we've dreamed of a fenced-in back yard where they can run and play without fear of getting near the road.  We live in the country, but the road our house is on is a 45 mph speed limit with a fair amount of traffic.  We have been blessed beyond measure with help from family and friends getting this fence done.  Papa (Tim) has been the main engineer and worker on this project and it could not have been done without him!  Here are some photos showing the progress.

Happy 4th of July!!

Sorry its been so long since I've posted....our internet was being weird.  Anyway, here are some photos from our Independence Day festivities.

Leah's first sparkler.  She called it a "sprinkle."

We had a few (NC-legal) fireworks we lit in the driveway for the girls.
