Alex's 2 yr, 10 mo. and a NEW roof!

Hello all!

Yes, we'll give you a moment to scrape yourselves off of the floor.....after all, it was just two days ago that we last posted.....

OK, now that you're back up at the computer...WE HAVE A NEW ROOF!

July 22 there was a "small" hailstorm that swept through Ord, and our roof was one of it's victims. Our roof was needing to be replaced in the next couple of years anyway, but once the hail got to it, we had big chunks and entire shingles laying all over our yard. SO, I called the insurance company and they sent out an adjuster....yep, it was totaled. So, here are the "before" and "after" shots....

The front of the house BEFORE....

The back of the house BEFORE......

And (drumroll, please...) the front of the house AFTER....

and the back of the house AFTER......

They even did the shed! (Insurance included that in their claim!)

We weren't too sure about the dark color.....it'll take some getting used to, but we think that it looks really nice.

Saturday night Alex and I baked a fruit pizza.....yummy!! (Although Alex ate more than he put on the pizza...as you can tell from the shot, he's about to put more pineapple into his mouth!)

And we couldn't have an "official" post without an adorable picture from the "Z" man. ;)

One other bit of news.....last night Alex pooped on the toilet for the FIRST TIME!! We are so proud of him! He had us in stitches, because right after he pooped and got up, he looked at it, looked at us, and said, "I pooped a BIG one!" We took the obligatory "poop" shots, so if you'd like a picture (we didn't feel right putting it up on the blog....we don't want anyone to lose their lunch/supper/meal), we can e-mail it to you. Yeah...that's just what you want filling up your inbox....it was a big deal for us, so....yes, we took pictures. He's our first, after all, so we're just going with it. :)

Happy September, all!
