The Great Wall of Stanwood

Shane volunteered his expertise on rock wall building.

The construction crew - 1 to dig and 6 to make sure the digging is done right!

The operators

A couple of overgrown boys playing around with heavy machinery

Randy moving the rocks in that Shane couldn't get with the excavator

The building process.

It was about at this time that Shane divulged he really had never built a rock wall, but he knew how it was done because he'd seen some guy build one before.

It was about this time that we decided he's a pretty good first-time-rock-wall-builder!

And the next morning it was still standing!!!

Thanks for a beautiful addition to the yard Shane!!!

The final preparations before planting

Six days later - watching the grass grow!! No joke.

Fun with Eli

While Maddy was off playing midwife for her sister and auntie to her new nephew we got to spend 5 days with Eli.

These two are so much more than cousins - they are good friends!

We added another room

We decided one dining room wasn't enough....

at least not on summer nights.

Dinner in the sunroom - how fun!
