April 2010 - Week 2 (Revised Edition)

Meredith had an INTENSE playdate today.  Park and pool...she got out of her friends car, walked right passed me and up to her room.  This is how I found her.  Awesome!
Out with the old and in with the new!

Life wasn't busy enough this month so we added some major landscaping to our to-do list.  Luckily we got smart and hired someone else to do all the work.  Here are some before and afters.

Before...
Before...mud pit.
Before...
After!  So much better.  Now the huge window well has a cover, we have a nice new pathway (geothermally heated) and lots of new trees and shrubs!
Delaney likes to live on the edge.  I'm suprised she hasn't broken any bones yet.
No more grass.
The demon princess toy. I hate this thing and was hoping that the great outdoors would destory it. Apparently it's indestructable. I can hear it right now just going off for no reason. Must get batteries out...
The light bark, is playground bark for the kiddos.  The idea is to lock the gates and let them run loose without having to worry.  We also have a new raised garden bed.  Now, if I only knew how to garden.
We lasted 2 days with the Volvo.  It was too stressful having to watch Delaney while trying to drive.  Far too much access for both girls to the new baby.  By red Volvo!
Hello red Acadia.  Mountain Home Auto Ranch drove this to our house, we signed papers and they took the Volvo away.  So easy!  Now, if only the touchscreen controls in this car were as easy to figure out.
Meredith loves holding Quinn.
And just for fun, Jesses aunt Carol sent over some old photos of Gene, his brother Gary and Carol!
Nice trunks Gene and Carol.
*Note* Apparently this is NOT Carol but Gene.  I was hoping poor Carol would get a girl suit and not hand-me-down trunks!
Gary and Gene
3 other Hamilton kids!
