This weekend the weather was so nice. We were able to spend alot of time outside which was a wonderful change. We even put the tramp up for the kids on Saturday. I broke out the triple stroller and put the boys in and then we went for a walk around the block. The stroller is huge, and somewhat hard to turn, but it will work. It is just nice to be able to have something to put all the boys in and they loved it.
Matt's weekend project was tearing the deck apart so he can get things started on the addition. We are going to add a dining room onto the back . It will be about the same size as the deck. We needed more room and a place to put a bigger table so it will be really nice when it is done. At least this time the mess won't be in my house. We won't knock out the back doors until all the construction is done. That's my favorite part.
This was part way through the project. There are no remains of the deck anymore.
I realized this week how fast your life can change. On Wednesday morning my dad had a heart attack and got two stents put in. We almost lost him and it was really scary. He said he knew he had seen everyone their last time and he knew he was done. But for some unseen reason, he was given the chance to stay with us for longer. I am so thankful for that. My boys are a highlight in his life and it would have been really sad thinking that they never got to know their grandpa. We spent alot of time with grandpa this weekend. He is home doing pretty good. He just has to take it kind of slow for awhile. I love my dad and am grateful that he is still with us. We love you grandpa.

Oh Brook! How sad to hear about your Dad. I hope he continues to get better.
Brook,
So sorry to hear about your dad. We had just visited with your mom the day before. Life can change so quickly. Glad he is doing okay and we hope and pray he continues to improve. Let us know if we can do anything.
I hope your dad is doing better, how scary. It is amazing how life can change in an instant. I hope you are all doing well and that the next home project goes quickly.
Hey guys-so sorry to hear about your dad and we are happy he is ok! We are excited for your new addition! You guys are busy! Fun Fun! We miss ya!
It is scary how things can change so quickly. I know that I take so much for granted. I am glad your dad is home and doing well. I hope he continues to improve. I'm confused....where is the deck?? Did you enlarge your kitchen? I thought you just re-did it....I didn't know that you built on?
Brooke!
I can't believe it. Tom should be around forever!
I hope he is okay. we will pray that everything is healthy and happy.
I didn't know that Matt knew how to build an addition. He's very talented. Can I borrow him?
