OUR WEEK IN PICTURES [07.11-07.16.05]

This past week has been busy and stressful, as I am sure you have read below. The bright spot is that we really did finish the house this week and we had a fun playgroup on Thursday at Summer's house in Springdale.

By the way, on the way to Summer's ranch house, we passed her husband who was killing a huge snake with a fence post. That was a great thing for Addie to see--not!--but she is over it.

Another good thing is that our neighbor and friend, Tanaka, has decided to be baptized, but her family is moving to Texas on August 7th. SHUCKS! Tonight we looked up her new ward and stake on lds.org so we can sedn her records with her. Her baptism will be next Sunday while my sisters are here--COOL. Enjoy the pix...

Along with all her other recent weirdness, Addie has been sleeping in weird places. Look at this--the foot of her bed! 

There's Addie eating cherries and crackers with her friends Carter and Tyler (there are 2 Carters at playgroup; one is 2 and this one is 6). Addie is so social! 

Heidi likes to share! 

Blurry, but so cute--Cailin, our hostess, giving Heidi a cracker. 

Heidi having snacks with her buddy, Carter. 

Check out that mug! Her face is gonna break one of these days!!! 

There's our new front walkway, poured on Thursday. 

We stuck this bead in the concrete under the front steps--it says, "Melins Built This House--2005." 

There's the back patio! 

There are all of our hands in the back patio concrete. The stray beads say "Melin Family" and "July 2005." We lost Rich's, which made me really sad.
