The Mighty M Family

Slow but steady progress is being made on our renovation…. We are expanding the family room in the basement and putting in a fireplace (and this little nook above is going to be our future wine “room”). 

and that means soccer season! Our first season of soccer kicked off last night.  Hannah was so excited to play and see some friends! The age difference between these 2 girls is 4 days.  Hannah is younger.  And taller.  I am going to try to get Eli on a team too…he is ready to play!

We had a few exciting hours last Friday when the cement truck came to pour the foundation for the small addition we are working on.  Eli really enjoyed watching all the action! This is his “cool, a cement truck!” pose. This is his spider man blaster “look, a cool cement truck!” pose. This is his “I’m going to stand up straight just like this cement truck pose”.  Which is cool.

My nephew is staying with us this week, and as much as the kids have (mostly) enjoyed playing together at home, sometimes it’s good to mix it up a bit. Especially when the weather is as gorgeous as it is right now. So yesterday morning we headed to the park to play for a while.  As you can see, they really enjoyed themselves. (Mostly)

Styling….. 100%by Hannah. 

I signed the kids up for 5 total weeks of swimming lessons this summer.  We have 1 more week left later this month. Hannah has been taking diving lessons right before her regular lesson – she just loves to swim! And finally she got the courage to go hands first off the board! Yay Hannah!! Eli isn’t dive ready yet, but swim ready… Absolutely! Hope you all have a great weekend.  I am off to my 20 year HIGH SCHOOL REUNION tonight! 

We are doing a little renovating at our home, and part of that involves removing some of our back steps down to the yard: Fortunately they boarded up the entrance at the top! This outdoor area of our home will soon be an indoor area!

Our neighbor’s truck.  He’d been gone all summer and I had been wondering where he was…..
