April came in with tornado warnings which means the coolest
clouds ever. |

 |
Caitlin's mouth is falling apart, or at least out.
Four front teeth gone. Poor thing is subsisting only on mushed peas
and applesauce.
Devin found the teeth and made a mouthpiece. |
 |
Caitlin counts her hard-earned coins to buy a new stuffed toy
as Devin watches on and Dad gives a lift. |
 |
Kristen and Blayne Hatcher's new puppy defends his turf
from a menacing stuffed snake. |

 |
Devin graduated from pre-K and celebrated with an end of
the year party.
Greg leads the kids in some toe-tapping tunes. |

 |
Angela tiled the front bathroom in preparation for selling
our house.
The girl of many talents. |
 |
Devin tries to keep himself from smiling when he got to
drink root beer for dinner while Caitlin had to drink milk (due to a reward
from lunchtime). He said he felt awful that he got to have root beer
while she got milk, but he couldn't keep his face from smiling. Quite
a conundrum. |
 |
Angela examines the granite selections for the kitchen in
the new house. |
 |
The employees of
Accel Warranty Services
at our May meeting of the minds. From left to right, Greg, Robert
Allen, Stephanie Cross, Terry Rahmberg, Paula Turnage, Danielle McDade, and
Ashley Heck. |

Greg relaxing at the lake during a camping trip. If
you look good, you might see the new floatation-PC (just kidding).
Camping out in the wilderness, away from all of life's comforts.
Well, okay, we'll keep the Gameboy Advanced, fans, and bottled water,
please.
Greg entertains the campers into the night. |



 |
Caitlin keeps us entranced by her tales of horror.
Bailey cowers trembling at the story's vivid descriptions of ghosts and
ghouls.
Caitlin and Bailey go diving off the float.
Angela created a makeshift outdoor shower using string, table cloths, and
a water hose. Here she gets Devin
squeaky clean. Just call her MacGyver.
Some guys read the paper, Devin plays Gameboy Advanced. |



|
The new house went from sand to shingles in May. Forms.
Plumbing.
Foundation. |




|
Dad spends much of his days as a sidewalk foreman, ensuring
the work is done right.
Framing.
More framing after a couple of days of rain-delay.
Joists and Rafters. |



|
Angela tests the roof joists and gives them her okay.
Ah, nothing like a nice bubble bath, minus the water and bubbles.
Angela enjoys the thought of it anyway.
Angela gets ready to serve coffee to the guests at the kitchen counter. |

May's Progress, front and rear. |
