Windows and sliding doors are in!!

At our last visits to de Leon springs we found the windows and sliding doors installed!! Very exciting  the windows affected by the design flaw were yet not in as they were ordered later.

One of the kids’ bedrooms. You can see how the wall is built up to cover the roof outside.

The boys found some scrap wood in de Leon springs and built a quarter pipe with it and some help from our neighbor.

Beach and 4th of July!

As we are still finishing up math (some of the boys really dragged their feet this year) we are still enjoying the beach. On 4th of July we spent time on the beach with somw friends before heading over to see the fire works in Rockefeller park. We walked up on the bridge to get a good view. There were so many people gathered to the fireworks.

Marlee made a very American dessert. :-)

A birthday party at SkyZone trampoline park.

The beach made tired…

… very tired!

Family beach time. Marlee had work. 

They put up the tent in the back yard and slept there a few nights :-)

The first design flaw identified on our new house

Our builder informed us that there was a problem with the drawings of the house. Some of the windows were too low for the roof below them. A design flaw by the architect. There was not much we could do than to adjust the windows and make them smaller…

The master bedroom, bathroom and closet on the bottom floor.

Kitchen and dining room.

The side facing the lake.

The other side :-)

Here you can see one of the windows where the roof below it covers part of it.

Picnic on the porch.

Family visiting

On the road again! That is where we are and I take the chance to catch up on the blog :-) Not very surprisingly a lot of my, and Alex’s, time is taken up by planning our new house!!

Anyways. Let’s see what we have been up to!

Sweet baby girl is a good sleeper, as long as she goes to sleep. She does not want to miss anything! 

Marlee ran bro a short sign with our car and one of the ?? came off and got a hole in it. We looked for a new one for a long time and learned that they are not made anymore and hard to find. He ended up getting what he needed to fix it himself. He did a pretty good job!

Farmor came up for a short visit and the day she left, Cory came up with Emily and both of their kids. It was the first time we got to meet Emily's kids. We all had a great time! 

Sword fight at the skatepark.
