Welcome to the Mud Pit

Well... it's official - we live in a mud pit! We have been lucky so far because we've had a long stretch of dry weather. Unfortunately, however, all good things must come to an end! After the rain last week, our yard got pretty ugly. As you can see, they began digging for the garage/master bedroom, so things are moving along. We're hoping that some of the framing will be completed this week, and it will really start to look like something other than a giant pile of dirt. Keep your fingers crossed for dry weather!

Nicholas had an exciting day today - he got his first pair of shoes! Nana and Papa took him to Stride Rite and got him a pair of sneakers. When my sister and I were little, my Nanny Dickinson always bought our shoes at Stride Rite - so... the tradition continues! He looks like such a big boy in them. He is getting very close to walking on his own and he seems very comfortable in his new kicks!
