I'll have to post some more Charlie and Anna pictures. Charlie loved kissing Anna (cheeks and feet) and gently rubbing her head. As you can see, she's a beauty!

Sandbox!

1.Find a spot...

2. Mark the 4X8 area and remove the sod...
3. Bring in the boards (after staining them)...

4. Call in reinforcement (Grandpa Tyrone) to help:
make it level, pound the stakes, drill the stakes, and bring the sand...

5. Play, play, play...

A quick little DIY project

At the beginning of June, we got new windows!
In our bathroom, the new trim doesn't cover up the same as the old trim...
(note the nice "paste in" job by the construction workers)

So, for about 10 bucks, I added 4 white hooks...

thinking that the towel will nicely cover the blemish.
I think it works! Now I just have to find 4 cute coordinating towels to hang!
