David and Pri

Incredible – really amazing!!!

4 brains, 8 hands and a lot of energy, courage and love to make this happen! We really enjoyed building something ourselves, and not paying somebody to do it.

This feeling of accomplishment is really great.

Without Donna and George here, it would have been much harder. They were essential, in all senses. How lucky David and I are having them help and be so enthusiastic about the whole process!!! Thanks again!!!

Check out the pictures during the construction!

Puxa, nem acreditei que lindos os presentes que o Ki e a Dani nos trouxeram nesta deliciosa visita!… eles renovaram nosso estoque de pão de queijo, trouxeram ambrosia, me deram uma bolsa de couro, um livro maravilhoso de pães pro David, e uma tébua de cortar super linda e chique! Se não fosse suficiente, minha mãe e vó tbm enviaram presentes pro nosso segundo aniversário de casamento. Um casal de cisnes de crital, uma borboleta que gruda na cortina, e uma coisa maravilhosa feita de crochet, eu acho, toda colorida, que ficou a coisa mais maravilhosa em cima no nosso virginal. Queria tambem mencionar que a flor vermelha da foto é a Amarilis que a mãe do David me deu no Thanksgiving. Olhem como cresceu!! As fotos:

It’s always great to have Donna and George in Bloomington. The visit (2 weeks ago) was very fun and productive as well.

Donna won by far the word game Perquakey. By the way, David did not let her win! She was simply fantastic!!
She helped me to find the glass frame I wanted to put the pictures I got from Arnolfo and family. The 3 pictures are now in the guest room.
The dinner at Limegrill (if this is the name…) was delicious!
We had a great time playing Disc Golf in the park where David and I climbed our tree in january, as well as talking about our then upcoming camping trip.
Also, David indulged all of us with his impecable repetition of the Decadent Party (partial) Menu.
It was fun to watch their Hawaii pictures together, and to chat about the house, and other things.
The little walk in Cedar Bluffs (where David and I started dating) was interesting, if not “historic”.

Here are some pictures for you: (note that we have now some tomatoes!)
