Cleaning up the tree mulch

Wow, there was so many tree stump grindings!! We hired two helpers, plus Zan and it still took a full day. We loaded it all in bags and are just hoping the garbage people take it away!

Santa also started on my front porch! At the end of the day, he also leveled the yard a bit for us, almost ready for GRASS!!!!

Where are the Franc's?

No Blog postings! We took a sebbatical! Actually, we had plans and did not want to miss out on some summer fun with the kids and our families! First, we were off to the Jersey Shore with Zan's family. Second, me and the kids took an eighteen hour road trip to TN and hung with my parents and cousins. then we drove up to KY where Zan flew to meet us and he completed the Ironman! We, with his parents drove back to Jersey and two days later, Zan and I flew to Florida to see our friends, they had a baby boy, Jake!!! Say prayers for him, he is a thriving 1lb 9 ozs. We came back to start running at full speed! We are ready to start school and get back to the crazy life of school, homework, sports, juggling babysitters, getting a million estimates on random stuff, and trying to get this house insulated before OLD MAN WINTER arrives!!! Here are a few pics of our relaxation that we REALLY needed.
