Cailyn Decorated

Cailyn decorated the bathroom today while I was taking a shower. I'm sure many of you have seen a scene like this probably worse. Here is a photo.

Another finished project

John removed the old rusted steel hand rails on our porch and replaced them with wooden ones. They look great! I did get to help a bit while Cailyn was napping. I remembered a before pic this time. We also took out the two bushes and red mulch.

Labor Day Weekend

Well this has been a beautiful weekend here in New Jersey.   John spent part of the weekend taking the rusted  steel handrails off the porch and replacing them with wood.  He has only gotten one finished because of other activities this weekend.  We have been busy getting ready for winter.  I know it is only September but it gets cold quick up here. We bought an electric fireplace this weekend.  It is awesome not only do the flames look real it can put off heat if we wish.  It looks a little silly with our TV on it but it won't be staying for long! We are planning on going on a hike tomorrow.  

Week 2

Well here's the situation a bug is trying to ruin our vacation! I was apparently chosen to be the bugs host. I was sick last Friday then Cailyn, Ed, Issac and John caught the cold. We did make it to London on Saturday with Brandon and Carole before they left on Sunday. Wales has been canceled. We are going to see how everyone is feeling in the morning and hopefully go to the beach. Thursday we are planning on going to Bath then home on Friday. Here are some pictures of London. We did go up in the London eye!!! When we get home we will be posting photos on Picasso for those interested.

Week 1 complete

Ross Castle in Kilarney Ireland
We have been very busy since arriving in Europe. We spent 1 day in Cambridge then flew to Ireland spending 1 day in Dublin then off to The Ring of Kerry by train. We have seen beautiful scenery and sights. Brandon and Carole joined us for this leg of our trip and we really enjoyed spending the week with them. They were very helpful with Cailyn. The next part of the trip is to Wales. We rented a car and we are leaving with Ed, Ericka, and Isaac in the morning. Here are some photos from our trip so far.

Cailyn's First Birthday

As you all know Cailyn turned 1 today!! She enjoyed her chocolate cake that I made her. Her grandpa John was here to help us Celebrate. She also had a celebration about a week ago with my family.

Video of Cailyn walking will soon follow. I am having technical difficulties tonight.

Not Just any day at the OFFICE

Today at work we got to do team building exercises that we have all done about a million times. Except there was one thing I had not done before The Ropes Course. Those of us who chose to do the ropes course were allowed to complete a very short portion of the course. It was a lot of fun although now John thinks I should no longer be nervous on Ski Lifts!
