Holland Michigan

Downtown Holland has quite a few sculptures along its streets. This one caught our eye.

Me and Ben :)

My love for farmer's market made this visit our first event of the day for my Birthday.

Farmer's Market

This huge tulip farm is still run by the ninety year old farmer.
He loves tulips.

These tulips already looked "old."

Josh trying on clogs. He didn't get this pair.

Great Grandma's House

Josh was kind enough to help me search for my Great-Grandma's house in Holland, Michigan. Thanks to Uncle Keith (he told me it was on 9th street), we had no problem finding it. We parked over at the park and then walked across the street to get this picture.

Drywall Progress

first load of mud

trying to make progress

Eventually I'm sure I will have the mud ready to paint in my kitchen, but for now I slowly putts along seam by seam, spot by spot, corner by corner.

Tile

Aaron came over and finished putting up the tile in our tub.

Julie is coming

i got something for her

New Front Door

Saturday we had a project day out our house. LOTS of work got done! Once Josh's project was finished he asked if Logan wanted to help put in the front door....Josh said I would get everything we needed. I quickly found the shims, exterior screws, caulk, etc.

new door

While Josh and Logan went and got some door trim, Brian and Dad figured out how to put the door knob and dead bolt in properly. I was super glad for that, because I don't really like doing door knobs.

p.s. When I got home from work last night, Josh had painted the trim....so I now need an updated picture!
