we had a lovely time sitting outside and trying to pretend the weather wasn't humid. the kids had a blast and our swing got lots of use by everyone.
the guys set up our ping pong table in the grass and played for hours. i think we were quite the spectacle for our neighbors driving by--every single car that passed slowed down to gawk at 20+ people all hanging out in our front yard.
and i realized yesterday that i had finally had a lifelong desire granted--for as long as i can remember, the one thing i always wanted was to have a home that i love to come home to, a place where my kids would feel rooted and happy, and a place where people could come and enjoy and feel at home themselves. yesterday, three different people made the comment to me that our house felt really homey, and that means a lot to me.

awww....jenn :) even in your apartment, your home felt "homey!" you have a knack for doing that.
anyway, it was a lot of fun...and really good. and your swing was the best!

Jenn! Man, I haven't dropped by in too long! Love the photos - looks like the family is doing well. Ours is growing by the way! Yup, Shelly and I are having another one - due May 29! That will only be a 13 year difference between Christian... hahaa!
