Well we (actually I) had big hopes for this past holiday weekend - we wanted to reside our house. We got a great start but I was a little naive about how long the project would take. Friday Kirk spent all day ripping off the old siding and Tom was over to install new windows in Nic's room.

Saturday was great - the inlaws willing came over to help with clean-up, tacking up new insulation, and starting the siding. We even got to have our Memorial Day BBQ thanks to Gretchen.
Dominic did really well through the whole process. We had to ship him off to Aunt Ali's for his afternoon nap due to all the pounding on the house, but at least he wasn't scared of the noise. Just a few months ago he paniced everytime he heard daddy pounding away working to finish off the basement.
For all our hard work we have a beautiful new front to our home and a huge pile of garbage in the driveway :) It is going to be slow going for the next couple weeks with Kirk and Tom out of town, but I am sure it is going to be well worth the work and the wait when its done!
