The new stairway is here.

On Friday the guys came to install the new stairway. Took about 10 1/2 hours and they still have to come back on Monday to finish the woodworking part of the stairs. It is absolutely amazing. We just love it. It changes the whole look of the house. Here are some pictures.

Heading to C-Town!

Have a great week planned. Heading out to Columbus for the Billy Joel/Elton John concert. Can't wait! Get to spend the night with Sher Bear and am looking forward to that.

Taking the old furniture to Jack and Tara's and hope that they are happy with it. We finally got furniture that fit in the family room and am very glad we finally did it. It was time!

Tom and the boys are going golfing and I have a job in Columbus so we will meet up afterwards and head on back home.

The stairway should be coming this week or early next week. They came out and fitted all the pieces and are now making the final adjustments and powder coating the metal and then it's ready to go. I think it will make a huge difference in the house. Definitely will have pictures to share as soon as it's in.

Thought I'd throw in some pictures that have nothing to do with anything but I just like them.

Day at the Zoo!

What a great 4th of July weekend. Had fun at our friend's house on the 4th and had a cookout at our house on the 5th and Aaron, Kristy and the kids came home on Monday and Tuesday. We went to the zoo and had a really wonderful day. The kids were great!

Nicholas LOVED the dinosaur exhibit and wanted Daddy to bring one home. Took some great pictures.

Claire was so good for it being a long day outdoors. Poor Kristy, pretty much held her the whole time. The girl must have a back made of iron!

Aaron and Nicholas rode a camel, fed the birds and all in all had a great time.

I have also included pictures of Nicholas and PopPop riding the tractor. Nicholas has a real fixation about PopPop's tractor. So much so that when he says his prayers, he always asks God to bless PopPop's tractor!

Here are some pictures of all of us having a great time at the zoo.
