Our Cute Little Shed

I just finished our shed a few days ago and we wanted to thank Dad for the help with the roof and shingles and Alan for all the help with the shrub removal and the siding.



I only have a little detail trim left, some sealing and caulking, but it is basically done and I will be finished completely sometime around never.


Just as a side note;
This was built from scratch with the basic laid out plans that show square feet (12' x 16' exterior 8'x16' interior) and materials used. The materials came uncut and I had to do a lot of guess work but we are pleased with the outcome. I am most proud of the door and the four windows that were the hardest to put in and the trim on the windows that was the most time intensive.

Blooming

It is so nice to see our yard in full bloom after a long, cold, snowy winter. Of course, we did just get some snow last week. Yep, snow in June. Anyway, I took some pictures because all of the flowers are coming up and also because in January of next year the pictures can remind me that winter does end in Montana. . . eventually. Penelope had to get in on the picture taking action. This is the shed Aaron is building in our backyaed. Notice the snow? June 6th!

7 Months Old

Eleanor is 7 months old today and is growing up so fast. She has been crawling for a couple of weeks, but yesterday was the first time she crawled from one room to another. (I had her in the living room and she crawled into the kitchen to see what I was doing.) She is so much fun and we all just adore her. Penelope especially. Penelope went to the store with Aaron yesterday (only gone about 15 minutes) and when she got home she ran over to Eleanor and said "Oh Eleanor, I've missed you", and then she gave Eleanor a great big hug.
