The pound puppies...

These two shots show their quirkiness and roles in life.

This is Carly, sitting with her bottom on the back of the couch, waiting for someone to let her out to chase down those naughty squirrels who raid our peach tree.

Then of course "Rodeo Reese" who let just about anything go...

Our new "baby"

No, don't excited, the twins are still baking... ; ) We did expand another part of our family though with a purchase of a minivan! Wow! Scott was a super-shopper and researcher and jumped on this great deal. He already has plans to take-over the Santa Fe and deck it out in Gator junk. I will happily adorn my new vehicle with beautiful FSU memorabilia... : )

Mia Goes for a Ride!

This one is for you, AB! ; )







B/c of the intense heat we've been having, Claire has decided to walk her Mia inside the house in the stroller.





At least I don't have to worry about cars or strangers...

Master Bath Renovation

Before... ... After

The shower is almost done! Woohoo! From the studs, which is not pictured, and back, including a new shower pan (many thanks, Bopa!), the tile has been laid and grouted. The floor was also completed (grouting done by 1:45 am by Dado!), and all the old stuff removed. Unfortunately, my jacuzzi tub is the work bench these days...

Before... ... After

Yes, that is the sink, suspended by a few ropes so at least we will have water as we wait for the new cabinets to come in. Here's the age old question-- which comes first: the cabinets or the twins? : )

All credit must go to Scott, Charlie, and Casey for all of their blood (not too much), sweat, and tears (OK, maybe just from pregnant- hormonal- lady- me). They have been working on this puppy for quite a few months now...
