Some Progress

Well today, I finally did some work on the room addition. I cut out the O.S.B and put in one of the windows. On Sunday afternoon I cut out part of the existing overhang that needs to be taken out before I can put the drywall up on the ceiling. I do not have a picture but there is some progress. We also bought the siding and I am very eager to get it put on before the fall rain starts.

Turtles in the hospital.





Vacation is over!!!








We had a great vacation in South Carolina. We really did not want to leave and would have liked to stay another week but of course you have to come back to reality at some point. Here are a few more pictures from our trip. We spent a day at the South Carolina Aquarium and took a tour of the Turtle Rescue Hospital. We had a really good time. Emma loved the turtles.

Vacation to South Carolina!





Well, vacation has been a blast. We left late Sunday night and arrived at Joe and Jen's house around 10 am on Monday. After a fantastic tour of Newspring Church we found a motel and crashed for a while and then met with Joe, Jen and Melea for dinner. We had a great time.

On Tuesday morning we made the trip down to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and checked into our motel. We stayed at the Hilton Homewood Suites, folks this place was nice. I highly recommend this chain. Tuesday night we just went to the pool and played around a little and then went to the store and got a few things to stock the fridge and crashed.

Wednesday we ventured to the IOP (Isle of Palms) to play on the beach and go for a swim. Emma was more than ready to get to the beach and go swimming. Here are a few shots of the beach and Eli Playing. The pictures are limited because we took a waterproof camera so we would not trash our good one. Here are a few pictures of the motel and the beach.

The Family


Since I have not been able to work on our room addition, I thought I would add some more pictures of the family. Enjoy!





Here is Mr. Mitchell having a good time first thing in the morning. He is one happy boy.......unless his sister takes something from him. NOT Emma!



Emma got to play with Melea after July 4th Holiday. Emma has been talking about going to South Carolina to see Melea again.



The Boss! My wonderful and loving wife!!



Me being a dork so Emma could take my picture. Nothing out of the norm.

Dad is tired and the kids are glad that I am home.
