Two steps forward, one step back!







GREAT NEWS!! Blake and Ali flew in for the weekend as reinforcement for our house project!! We were SO in need of family help and feel SO lucky to have them here for us! They have made the biggest difference in providing desperately needed energy, kids help and slave labor!! We accomplished so much just today! Doesn't the tan paint look nice?! Things are really looking great in that department and we can't believe that all of this work has been done in only 6 days so far. However, as improvements are made the yuck that still exists becomes more and more obvious and it just takes time and a strong stomach to get it taken care of.





Ali worked on all the worst projects today and Blake never stopped moving from 7am - 9pm tonight. They weren't kidding around when they said they'd come to help. Ty finally got around to mowing our own lawn in the dark tonight, he never stops working either. Someday we'll look back on this week and wonder how we did it. In the midst of all of it today, too, we had Luke's Birthday party scheduled so it was nuts! Long day.

Wow! What a difference. What a lot of hard work. You two definitely deserved the vacation after all of your hard work. I love your blog and being able to keep in touch.
