Ah, Summer!!

But, first, those two very cute, athletic, helpful(?), and smart girls who live in Allen. Lucky for us we're planning a swing through Texas this summer to see everyone. Hope to see Jordan's Rodeo as she finishes her horse camp and Olivia's recital as she completes the dance camp. Kayla will be with us for a week (The 9 yr old "Koerner" thing) before we fly her back to Hou.


 


 We thought we were going to miss our tulips once again due to the France trip, but got home just in time (late spring - hard winter). This is the 1st week in May.
 Ditto.
 About the 15th of May. As we sit out in the backyard, we have a hard time remembering what the house looked like before the remodel in '05.


 Melissa's office corner. Starting Wednesday (6/1), we're going to have those two doors removed (can't see 'em in the pic) and replaced with windows identical to these. Plus, vertical blinds, new carpet, remove wallpaper and paint. Will be, essentially, a new office for her. In that she spends 24/7 there, por que no??

I was just kidding about summer. We still have winter here on Memorial Day. Several inches in the mountains and Snowbird is staying open 'till July 4th. This is the wettest spring in recorded history and the floods are starting all over Utah. This is my favorite time - when the tulips are still out and the early perennials are starting to show. All that work (and MK's designs) pays off!

  1. It's so weird that other states are getting precipitation! Lake Travis is 21 feet below normal, and we're a foot or more behind in average annual rainfall! Send some down here, dang it. Flowers look lovely, and I can't believe y'all are finally taking that wallpaper down in mom's office! WOW!

  2. Remodeling never stops, does it? You guys have one fantastic house and it just keeps getting better! And since Logan and I will be running 1 more 10-miler this spring, I wouldn't mind some of that cooler winter weather. It's in the 90s this week here in Maryland. Ugh.

  3. I loved visiting GM and GP in NJ when I was a kid - I hope Kayla has an equally excellent time with y'all.
