Happy Birthday, Sean!

This is what a kitchen sink is for!

Bo worked while Steven gave us a tour of the San Antonio missions








HIGHLIGHTS OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND

1. Bo's sister Shanna shared her children and grandchildren with us and we celebrated Sean's third birthday with a Thomas the Train party. Though the blinds weren't hung or a second bathroom finished, the guest room was ready to set up the porta crib and the rocking chairs on the porch were waiting to be filled. Maddie marked a milestone crawling for the first time across the area rug in our den to share Sean's birthday toys and got a bath in the kitchen sink. Those are the memories with which we are thrilled to be filling this old house. Aunt Stacey came over from Austin for the party and Buck and Katy joined us as well. Other guests included Steven's high school friend David and his family. Though most kids would prefer hot dogs or a happy meal, Sean chose fajitas for his birthday lunch.

2. OSHA Babe's tour guide agenda was expanded by history teacher Steven's suggestion to visit the San Antonio missions. There are four in a national park area just south of downtown. The grounds are beautiful. Request that they be added to your itinerary when you visit.

3. Bo worked on the bathroom floors in preparation for installing the lavatory next week when our cabinet builder returns for his second phase projects. This coming weekend's blog will include pictures of all the rooms he has been working on so hard-mudroom, downstairs bath, upstairs master bath, and master bedroom closet area (the old back porch upstairs). We also have new lighting fixtures and a fan that have been installed in the kitchen and a light above the front porch. We're making progress and are grateful for the family, fun, and friends along the way.
