They are the same size except for the offset.  It is 10 X 5...just right for my table.  He got me commercial grade railing for half of what it costs and that was with the posts also.  His brother is a contractor as well, and he went to a homeshow at the fair grounds and picked up all I needed.  We're going to stain it grey.  I wanted black but he said, "You don't want BLACK."  I didn't know I didn't want black.  LOL  It seems bigger because there aren't steps at the back and the front is so open.    Looking for the Bright Red chairs now.  I am looking for a Bistro table and chairs now....the iron kind...for my back porch.

Both patio and porch are bigger aren't they.  They are beautiful!  Rodger did a great job.  You are going to make lots of memories with the grandkids there!

Rita's new porch!

My new shirt;).

Oh yeah! Addy I will take a picture if the back! Jase is my favorite so it's him saying...if you are too busy to hunt and fish....you are too busy! :).

Trish, I'm diggin' the Duck shirt!

Babysitting today!

Wonderful news!  Can't wait to hold him Janet!

Hey everyone, good report at the doctor:)  Placenta is where it should be, baby is 5.5 lbs (which apparently is HUGE), blood pressure wasn't bad, and as long as he turns in time, we are on track for a natural delivery.  We could see him laying on his little arm on the ultra sound.  Can't wait to hold him! 

 

Care to add your branches and help complete the Family Tree

If anyone is interested, help me build the family tree at, http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index . You may have to copy it and paste. I know Addy has already done this and I find myself forgetting who has how many children and grandchildren. Not to add any info that you don't want anyone to know. Most important, I am thinking, is just who belongs to whom, for those of you that are interested. If my memory serves me correctly, I remember Mom saying, at one point, she knew she had 69 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I find myself, not having a clue what all their names are and which children belong to whom. My bad, just can't seem to keep it all straight. Thought this might be a good idea where EVERYONE CAN ADD OR CORRECT and keep us all up to speed. Especially since you young'ens are continuing to keep up the family tradition and more and more branches are being added. You may have to create a password etc. but let me know what you think! Again, please feel free to correct any errors that I may have already made. Love to all, Timmy, Cindy and Justin

Love the story about Colin:)  Amy, too funny on the menu.  Couldn't quite tell what Clara was saying in the video, but my how she is growing. 

We go for an ultrasound tomorrow evening.  Here we are at almost 33 weeks.  Doesn't seem possible.  Won't be long and he will probably be kicking me on the outside if Kaiden teaches him his power ranger moves. lol  Say a prayer that all is good with baby and mommy's blood pressure.  I really want to finish the year with my kids at school.  Everytime I am not 100%, they worry that I will leave them.  Monica & Addy, I am pretty sure none of us want to relive that surprise visit the last time I was on bedrest.  Talk about HIGH Blood Pressure.  I can't believe you two didn't put me right into labor. lol

By the way, thought we had a name picked out.  Had t-ball games and there was a kid that drove Matthew and I crazy that day with the name Alex.  Guess what?  That's out! So we are back to square one! 

I think Clara needs to work on her S-P-E-L-Ling!

Greg and I went to dinner last night and ramps were in 3 dishes on the menu! What's next- rutabagas!

How Precious!
