Weekend Warriors!

At our house, there is no sitting around relaxing on three-day holiday weekends. We don't take our precious vacation time to actually go on vacation. And going to see a movie? That would be too much fun. No, on our three day weekends we work on the house! And this three-day Veteran's Day Weekend was no exception.

Logan's dad and stepmom arrived on Friday evening and stayed with us for the weekend. It was so nice to see them, and fun to have houseguests. But we worked!

Logan and his dad (with minor help from Sue and me) built a new front porch for us this weekend. Poor Logan is already looking forward to Thanksgiving break so that he can rest for a while, and I'm sure his dad is too! But the finished project is absolutely gorgeous- it just needs some paint. We can't wait to string it with Christmas lights. Here are some photos (before and after), along with a shot of our new driveway:
