Harley loves his spot on the hill where he can keep an eye on everything. :)

And So IT Begins

The next phase our our home renovations have begun-- with the stripping of siding and the screen porch.

Random Photos

The ice went out on Easter Sunday. The day before the ice was dark, but still reached from shore to shore. A little was gone Sunday morning, then we watched more and more disappear...

Nana and Pops Dwyer have started their journey in their Road Trek, and Matt, Jessica, and the girls have started (and almost completed!) their road trip to Orlando. While that part of the family heads south, Grammie and Grampy Simpson will be heading north in just a few weeks! 'Tis the season!! :)
Jay and I have started the process of packing up, and Jay even took some of the siding off the house yesterday. More work will happen this weekend, and hopefully we'll get a good jump on the demolition this week.
I leave for Houston, TX on Thursday to attend the American Occupational Therapy Association's national conference. While it will be the longest I've been away from Ben so far, I'm looking forward to the conference and Ben will have some great quality time with his Daddy...

Helping me make the bed/Renovation Update

It was such a neat photo op-- the light was so cool between the sheets! ;-p
Benjamin LOVES to 'help' me make the bed and, lately, he loves to have his picture taken, though he does tease me and move as soon as he thinks I'm going to take the photo... This whole photo series was really awesome, and thought I'd share a few of my favorites.
We are all doing well in the Jewett World. We have some major 'stuff' going on-- a HUGE renovation planned for our house (yes, we're addicted- we just can not stop) among other things. The house-jacking commences at the beginning of May, so we're in the process of making plans, packing up, and eventually moving to a cabin on the property for a few months while our house gets worked on...
For those not 'in the know', we're having our house jacked up for a full foundation, removing and rebuilding our kitchen/bathroom addition as well as our screened in porch. There are bittersweet feelings about the porch (it's my favorite room in the house, though we are only able to use it 3 months out of the year) and will go from being screened in to being 'lived in'. Finally we'll have a dining room!!! And a mud room!!! Oh-- yeah, and a master bedroom/bath. Our camp is slowly growing. It's exciting though there is much adventure ahead.
Wish us luck in this journey. I will be sure to post photos as our project progresses.
Happy Spring!!!!
