Happy Spring!!!! We're SO excited to play in the sun and dig in the dirt!! Lois is a TRUE gardener.........we laugh all the time about losing hours outside digging and picking with our ARSES up in the air!!!! Cassidy always asks me if I like being dirty and when I say YES she wipes her hands on me! Hahahahaha!!!

Uncle Bobus teaches Cassidy how to paint/recycle an old kitchen cabinet. We're having a great time! It's a breath of fresh air having Bobus here! (Not to mention it really feels more than ever like my dad is here too!)

Happy Easter everyone! Cassidy strikes a pose with goodies Auntie Marla sent and beautiful tulips from Nonnie. (She loves this Marla! Thanx buddy and can't wait to color eggs with you again in the future!!!)

This is just funny because it shows how very much Bates wants to move in to his gorgeous new home! The house isn't done, but he's organized and in his closet........brief case and all!!!!

Bagels and coffee and bird/flower watching, anyone??? Lois and Bates are so excited to just veg-out in this room!!!

A view of the great room when you enter from the front door. Straight ahead is the awesome green room.....

Bates and Lois' home is getting the finishing touches! It is just GORGEOUS!! This is the amazing fireplace made of soap stone from Finland......the floor is hickory and the ceiling tongue and groove pine and the windows to the right are vintage recycle and really cool......they are being trimmed "Karen-style" with slate.......so pretty!
