The fenced in garden is almost ready for plants! We have a few more herb planters to build and plants should be going in soon.
Trigger Thumb Surgery
Wednesday, July 30th, 2014
Page was born with a thumb that did not move at the joint. The doctors thought she might out grow it, but it was becoming more and more of an issue for her. She was having trouble drawing and other simple tasks. So we scheduled surgery for her to cut the ligaments and free up her thumb for movement.
She was such a brave girl. No problems at all and now she wears a cast for 5 days while the stitches heal. She can already move her thumb so that brought a big smile to her face this morning!
What Page does when Mama has a dumb idea

So… I told Brendan I would volunteer the task of staining the 4 new decks. So for the past 5 days we have cleaned, brightened and stained all of the decks. Brendan has kindly been very supportive and helpful and is now finishing the final few hundred feet of staining. Who ever thought 39 would feel so old! I swear I have done 1000 squats.
In the meantime, Page has managed to have so much fun. She is at Nick’s house today hamming it up… Sienna has been taking lots of big naps which has helped us crank out the project. Now we just wait a couple days for the stain to dry and we can start enjoying the space!
And we are done!

Almost done with the exterior! We just have plumbing and electrical and stain the decks, buy a new BBQ… The yard will take a little more time, hopefully not more than a month.
Its so beautiful!
Horse girls
Tuesday, July 1st, 2014
Sienna and I arrived to pick up Page at Pony Camp and she was out in the paddock riding one of the big horses. She was riding backwards, standing up, and even trotting! She has no fear. Sienna was loudly yelling “Gaga” over and over and she had a great time watching the girls play on the trampoline. I think we have another horse rider in our future…
Pony Camp!
Monday, June 30th, 2014
Its been a bit rough the past week or so, both the girls caught Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. Thankfully its over and Page can attend Pony Camp! She goes all week from 9-2. She was a little nervous this morning when Brendan dropped her off. I am excited to pick her up and she how she liked it!
