As a mom, there are so many firsts that we are proud of. I have been enjoying seeing Cary reveling in Brody's firsts. Each little accomplishment seems so huge. Learning to sit up, pull up, all those first tastes of new food (Brody with a lemon on our trip!) are all so much fun to see. Then when they begin to do things for themselves it makes life easier. Taking their own bath (that has its own perils), making their own bed (well they could) and driving their own car (yikes), all are great moments. But just wait until they own their own house and are totally independent and are great at it! That is the best (so far). I'll get back to you when there are grandkids. So all that to say look at the new Wolf house. They closed Friday morning and all McNeil girls and Ryan (he hates to paint but acquiesced when it became obvious that there were too many shorties helping) converged and painted their den before movers came Saturday morning.
It looked great. MG and Ryan brought pizza for dinner. But hold on to your hat...here is the same room 24 hours later.
What? Can you believe this? We didn't even help them. The had movers for the big stuff, but the rest is all Sophie and Paul. I see a few pictures that they may want help with. Knowing them though , it may be done by now.
In Madison, an enormous chicken coop was being built.
Good grief that is big. Also note the 8 foot fence they built behind him.
Lucky chickens!
I can tell you, the list of accomplishments goes on and one. I am glad you are one who sees it all. Some people wont let go and let them do !! MOM
