Caroline & her "aunt Shanna"

Well, blogging season has officially arrived! Paul & Barbie left for Colorado on Friday (which is always sad) & The Bishops stay so busy that it's hard to talk to them on a regular basis, so hopefully we can stay disciplined about posting updates this summer!

We have had a very busy month, as usual & we have a ton on the 'to-do list' for this summer.

Some of our summer projects:

--Paint the exterior of the house (!)...we are actually almost finished with this project. All we have left to do is paint the doors & one pair of shutters. and what a job that was!

--Re-landscape the flower bed in the front yard.

--Strip & re-paint the shed

--Stain the concrete on the side porch

--Stain the back deck

--Start composting!!

Working in the yard has become one of our favorite weekend pastimes but I must say, it's a challenge to do while you are holding a baby! LOL.

Other than that, we have been keeping busy with Jason's soccer games & work, of course.

Caroline & I visited Shanna this past weekend & had a great time getting out of Memphis for the weekend. Shanna got to practice some of her newfound cosmetology skills on my hair & Caroline & I got to swim & eat great seafood. Other than a snafu at the Mayberry Airport on Monday a.m. when I was traveling home, the trip went very smoothly.

Caroline is now crawling & pulling up like a pro. Where does the time go? She is growing so fast I can hardly keep up with her.

Here are a few pics from this past month that were taken with my new Nikon D60.

Love,

The Nickels
