Time Flies

Geoff just took Alayna to see our old Seattle house. Here is the proof that it once was uglier than it is now. We bought the fixer upper before HGTV but it didn't take an expert to point out the obvious. This is the only photo I have of the unfortunate decor. (Also proof that toilet papering the bishop's house over the rainy weekend we were out of town was not that humorous.) And yes, Justin is wearing cowboy boots. I took good care of that lawn, tore out the overgrown bushes, replaced the roof and gutters and painted the house blue and cream.

Maybe it was a waste of time. We sold this house the day after we put it up for sale in 1991. The buyer had lived in this very house when he was a child. They waited a couple of days and then painted the house gray and purple. Alayna's blog has the sad to me 2010 update.

And here is Jenny's first day of kindergarten. Last week was her daughter's first day.

You did a good job with the lawn! I was just thinking that when I read that you put a lot of effort into it!
