garage progress

The big garage is finally done (on the outside)!  The stucco guys finished up and it looks awesome.  The old garage was demo'd and we only had one trip to the ER when Brian tried to cut his toe off.  Lucky for him the concrete saw didn't get his tendon!  The playset was moved this past weekend and our friend Mike graded the yard and we're getting a few more landscaping things done before the sod arrives.(hopefully end of next week)  The transformation is amazing and is going faster than past projects here at the Salfer residence.  The girls have been helping with only minor complaining.  They have had to learn to work as a team and that we can't have 4 project managers!  

Middle School is so over...

This is a little strange to think that Caitlin is officially a FRESHMAN, an actual name not number!!!  8th grade is a thing of the past and now we're on to thinking about driving permits and varsity sports!  No way!!!!!!!!  Maybe its because we have a two year old at home I don't think Caitlin is actually as old as she is!  Well anyway, it was another great year for this young lady and managed to pull off straight A's every quarter!  She had fun in Tennis and played Doubles, enjoyed being in the quirky middle school play Andromeda and had a successful track season, getting to participate in a few varsity meets.  She also joined band again and really liked it.  Next year will bring more challenges I presume and she will most likely tackle them head on.  She has a great group of friends and seems to have her head screwed on straight.  Looking forward to what high school brings!
