It's Hot

With America's birthday smack dab in the middle of the week, my husband was off for five days straight... say what!?! We have started on the outside remodel of our little home, and I'm certain it's more work than the inside. Not shocking: it is taking longer than expected and, of course, more money. Good thing Ryan and I like the process as much as the end result, well, most of the time.

Emily is a trooper! It's in the upper 80's, but she buzzed around in the strawberry patch looking for treasures.

Emily also helped her daddy dig up the pipes to a petite and manly bathroom in the garage that broke during an ice storm a few years back.

I am fairly certain these two should be in a parade.
