Long Road...

It's been a very long road with the house project. We are getting close to one year since the roof was ripped off. Needless to say it is not complete. We are making progress.... on our own now. We pretty much have just the stairwell to finish... minor detail :) If you ever want to know which company NOT to hire to assist you with remodeling, please call Mario or me and we would be happy to share. Or of course just take a look in the bottom right hand corner of the picture below.

We have some major landscaping to do! In addition to having to re-seed 1/2 of our front yard because the dumpster was there so long, we also lost 2 trees. Bummer!

Last days of summer!

I think we have tried for a year to get Nico to wear sunglasses. Today, he just randomly decided it was time.

Park time!

This face cracks me up.. A. because it looks like Uncle Tony and B. because he looks less than thrilled and/or is about to do something diabolical!

That is better!

Warning- Objects in camera may be closer than they appear!

Brother time!

Tree trimming.. (Nico sans pants) or sin pantalones as Grandma would say!

Peek!

So helpful!

Pull ups... and no, not the kind you wear yet unfortunately
