VK had her Star Wars party at the gym. It was awesome. The gym did everything for us so the parents got to relax. The kids did the climbing wall and then some studio time.

VK has become a pretty good climber thou she gets tired quickly. Here's a pic of her almost to the top of the alphabet wall.

VK and I flew into Chicago to help my mom celebrate her 60th bday. We met up with Minnie, Steve, Elizabeth and Grace. VK is staying with Grandma for almost a week more while Chris and I head up to the Sasquatch Festival for a weekend of music and visiting with the Horning family.

I guess this is the start of the blog again. The remodel is still not completed but we are moving on to a summer at home with friends, family and a kick ass patio! Stay tuned.

While VK is at Grandma Sonja's I got a full day to get the waterfall cleaned out and running again. The frog is a nice addition I think!
