Memorial (aka: Inauguration) weekend!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend, also known as the inaugural opening of the Van Zandt's new house, the inaugural opening of Garrett's baby pool and the inaugural event of the Callahan triplets visiting our house! It started with a trip to Columbus Ohio to visit Kris and Jen Van Zandt and their new home. We had a great time meeting their friends from Ohio and visiting with their families, who lets face it had a hand a raising Brandon and I. The house was beautiful, so now comes the pressure of a bambino...come on guys you have been married 6 years!! We then ventured home on Sunday to catch the end of the Indy 500 on the radio. Garrett got to play with his baby pool for the first time...he loved it!! Memorial day brought rain but also our first pitch in with the Sablehaus' and Callahan's since last June!! Which meant the Callahan triplets actually got to come to our house and play with Garrett. We had a good, but crazy time with six kids to run after. I definitely noticed adult conversation is more difficult these days!! Daddy has T minus two days till summer break! But as we all know this is going to be full of toddler toting and honey-do-lists. I enclosed pictures of his latest project. Our neighbors so graciously gave us their play set; however it is about 6-7 years old and needs some major TLC. Here are some "before" pics. Hopefully we will have some "after" pics for you soon!! I have always said I love shabby chic!

There she is! A little power wash, fresh stain, new swings and some replaced wood and she should be as good as new!

Oh, so sad we weren't there. It just doesn't seem complete without Miss Addie in the picture. Looks like you had a great weekend. Can't wait to see the "new" playground.
