Gated Community

Hooray, hooray, all of the work is done on the exterior of the house (yard work excepted.) The new gates are installed and painted, so all of the construction and repair is done. Ellie is going to miss having all of "the guys" around the house though.

Here's our gates before - both made by the previous owner:

After!

Why yes, we are Bruin with a blue and gold house. That's not weird, is it?

We've had a busy week in terms of seeing friends - five play dates already, and two more this weekend! We are so lucky to have such a great group of friends, both kiddos and mommies. And as usual, we ended the work week with ice cream with Grizz. His job gets tougher every week.

I shall leave you with this video of the kids playing together. I am so, so lucky. Even if they do drive me a little bonkers when we're all over tired.
