This was the 1st Weekend of the Season
in Jared's Last Year of High School Water Polo
He scored the 1st goal of the day for his team 
...and won every one of his sprints though out the day too
He's one FAST kid...
& his team won 3 for 3 ~ Yippee!

& I just love taking photos of my little guy 
getting to play his favorite sport!

House saga part 4 or 5, or is it....6?

I've lost count....
but we're onto the hard wood floors now!
So the refrigerator now resides in the sun room
....see it back there behind the rest of the mess?
The rest of the house is packed into this POD on our driveway 
(oh, but whatever didn't fit in here in the garage)
Flooring was ripped up, where it was not good to refinish...
and replaced with new wood....Yeah!
 and places where the finish was worn & ugly like this....
were sanded & made to look nice again.
old finish is off....
new finish going on...
SO MUCH NICER NOW!

But even though we had a week in a hotel 
while the dust & fumes invaded the house...
we still aren't moved back in! 
(actually, WE ARE...but our furniture is NOT)

Next up...
corner rounds & touch up paint on the floor trim 
& then a new mantel installation

August Adventures

Louis took the kids on a little road trip.
 ATV-ing in the sand...
Seaside treats at the shore...
and as if that's not enough...
a bit of flying in the sky!

(I stayed home with the dog.)

Audra's New Style for Jr. High

Longish layer & side bangs

Been thinking....

...about adding another car to our family...

...decided on a TOY instead!!!
