With the warm weather we've been spending a considerable amount of time in the pool. Both ours and on our visits to Patrick and Jennifer's. Yesterday we made a trip over to their home to meet extended family out from Boston for a visit. It was a chance for the girls and Cameron to meet a young cousin. Ava and Marie are down for the week and thankfully the weather's been cooperating for a nice break from the rain during their stay.

After spending some time visiting we headed home and Cameron and Kevin did some more work on the toolshed, we'd set the base down for the other day. They finished this up today and also installed the baseboard in Cameron's main living area of his room.

| All done and ready for our storage needs. |

| Even though we still need to finish the caulking around the baseboard Cameron was anxious to bring in his first piece of furniture. He's getting anxious to be in his new space. |
At 1pm EST we all gathered around our kitchen table to be able to Facetime with Amber and Eddie, Kevin opened his Father's Day Card from them while they were there to watch. He was thrilled to receive a Disney Gift Card from them. We all talked for about an hour. Love technology that allows this kind of face to face interaction at this distance. It's so much nicer than just phone calls, texts or emails. Being able to see each other and all participate at once just makes it so much more pleasant!

After our call the girls settled down to play and the guys were out finishing up the toolshed, when I noticed some surprise visitors out on our front lawn. A flock of wild turkeys with quite a few young ones among them were walking around the yard. After hanging around for a bit they all followed each other in a line into the woods on the edge of our property. Love the surprise visitors we get around here.

It was nice to be able to talk to you and "see" you on Saturday! I hope dad had a nice Father's Day. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteIt was really nice talking to both of you too. Dad had a nice and relaxing Father's Day, made sure he didn't work on anything!! You two take care, we love you too!!!
Deletewow I am excited to see Cameron's place. I went through your earlier posts which I had missed and I am truly awed how it is been transformed. I wish I knew someone who can do all these work. We have to call different people for every small job and yet the job is not done. Just can wait to see how the whole thing will when it is completed.

Thanks Paps, It is really handy to have Kevin and Cameron able to do so many projects and Kevin's brother Patrick has been a huge help with these. He's out of town right now, but we have our supplies ready so when he returns the guys will get the bathroom finished, and the closet done along with the mirror doors for it. Finally it will be up to Cameron and I to get his space finished for living. He loves having his own area, but is close to home. As he moves into this I can get the girls in their own rooms and finally finish them too. : ) Thanks for stopping by, take care.
