Yeah, Yeah- I know it has been since June. The Project bug hit hard this summer and unfortunately it gives off immunities to the writing bug :)
So it is my goal this week to catch up on all we have done this summer and just so you all know I am very impressed with the many changes you have all had too. Moves, babies, trips, and just plain growth is always inspiring.
Had to catch this one while he was sleeping. He is moving and grooving so quickly anymore I can hardly keep up. Definitely a collector- notice all the animals he insists on having on his bed.
I thought they captured him pretty darn well, considering he had absolutely no nap that day.Now to the projects:
New rooms- this summer was kicked off by a household switch-up. My In-laws moved up to the back house and we took over the Big house. Ryan is extremely happy to be able to raise his family in the home he grew up in. Quinn has his own room now to keep all his goodies in.
My Space :) This is my new office. I am working very hard to expand and build up my business. It has been a true joy making friends with the other distributors around here.
The office is also our guest room for distant friends and family to come and visit (hint hint)
Ryan says it's definitely ready for when we have a girl- not sure I am willing to give it up.
Lots of painting done. Rahul got on the Wagon too and decided he needed to add some color to his bathroom. Turned out pretty darn good I think.
MMM. I love the way my garden grows. . . so does Quinn, he's constantly sneaking in grab a bite.
New finish on the dining table.
New Floors. Yes, Ryan and I became ambitious while Mike and Geri were on the Anniversary6 trip and completely redid the upstairs floors. Aren't they loverly?
We also repainted and restained all the decks so they would be ready for this fall.
And then we have the real garden-
Blueberry bushes
Grafted cherry tree
And all the rest
We have had quite a harvest already and we can't wait for the next round to start. I have also canned peaches and will probably have to can some of our tomatoes.

And this is just what I did here. LOL
Hard to believe how quickly we are back to school shopping and returning to the routines, but I have to say it has been a pretty successful summer even it wasn't all that relaxing.

I'm crossing my fingers that we can come visit you someday! We also have a semi-extra room for now for visitors (I am also hinting). Cute pictures of Quinn!
WOW! Everything looks great! So if I were to fly you and Quinn out before his 2nd birthday for a couple of weeks do you think you could help me redo my bedroom which includes re-staining my floor...please?
Welcome back. ;) Everything looks great!!
Tiana, you are such a blessing to us all. You only mentioned about half of what you accomplished as crew boss. The yard is greening up, the flower beds are trimmed, the play structure is painted, the shed is organized, the canoe path to the river is built, we are fed wonderful meals every night and so much more. We needed someone around with your energy to keep the rest of us motivated.
Thanks,
Dad Mike
