My White Picket Fence Dream


What could be better than having a resident-painter?
I love Mark's painting skills.......he makes it look easy, doesn't he?It's really nice having him around!

Now, if he would take up Chiropractic as a hobby.....

Next Step: Kindergarten!

Congratulations to Reiley on completion of his 2-year course of study.
He received his PSD (pre-school degree).

Kate was all smiles for the occasion.
Madison was, too, but wasn't in the mood at this particular moment.
Reiley was in a clowning mood.
I told him I would show him these pictures at his high school graduation...
(he said I wouldn't remember by then... we'll see)
