Labor of Love



Here is a picture of the newest addition to our family.



I am aware that is a swing set, but I feel like Brian gave birth to this. He started Sunday of last week and with the help of his VERY GOOD friend Steve they got the first level and then some of the second level finished. Then Monday (labor day), my husband LABORED! Along w/ Grandpa they almost completed the second level, added the steps, the slide and then the railing around the bottom.....whew.....I was tired just watching. Unfortunately the next week, it rained, and rained, and rained. However, through the rain after work my dedicated husband and father of my children continued to work. Unfortunately, the weekend brought more rain and this afternoon it cleared up enough for him to work AGAIN. This evening at 8:18 Brian finished "the hardest project" I have done in a while....that is a direct quote from one of the smartest men I know. Poor thing, I think if it had come with better instructions and perhaps labels on the 3000 pieces of wood, it would have been finished in 2 days.

So BIG thanks to Steve and Grandpa!!!!

I will post pictures tomorrow of the girls playing on the labor of love.
