Hello, family and friends! So that you all feel like you've visited, welcome to our new house! We apologize for not inviting you inside right now, it's a little cluttered.
Out back we've got a deck, or we did until Grandma Carter and I tore it out. I thought it would take a really long time, but I guess it doesn't take that long when the whole thing is rotten and waiting to fall over anyway. I started sawing through the boards to begin with, until Grandma showed me you could rip them off the railing with your bare hands! They came right off the nails leaving a nail-sized hole in the board and the nail stayed in the supports and beams!
This picture is from a little later on. Grandma is off to the right of this frame. Suzanne, Sherene (Suzanne's sister), Carter and McKay watched us from the sliding glass door (boarded up now). Five minutes after this picture was taken I moved to the edge (far left) and the floor crumbled underneath me. That's about a twelve foot drop, but luckily I wasn't hurt. Unluckily, I walked away and stepped on a rusty nail, so I took a trip to the doctor's office anyway. The next day it tried to kill me again by falling on top of me when I was pulling down the beams. The bruise on my hip was beautiful! You should have seen it.
Easter morning was pretty dull, but we had a terrific egg hunt the next day! Maybe it was just the excitement, but it took McKay a full minute to find that purple egg after we took this picture.
Carter was quicker to spot them, but we made him leave the easy ones for his little brother. Maybe next year we'll ask the Easter bunny to hide them LOWER.
A good time was had by all! (And a good haul.)
