New baby, new play place

Hello everyone. As most of you know by now, we welcomed our new baby girl into the world on June 22. She's perfect! I never really saw myself with a girl but now I can't imagine life without her! Drew loves her and is constantly wondering what she's doing. Pretty funny. She's a great baby and we are having a blast getting used to a family of four!
In other news, Matt has been vigorously working to build Drew a swing set. I'd asked him to take on the challenge a few months ago. As an engineer, it was just too easy to simply buy one at the store, put it together and call it a done deal. Matt had to design one, cut the boards, put it together and set it up. I was hesitant at first, but I let him go ahead. I knew he'd be able to do it, I was just worried about the time frame and some of the hard labor. Well, he's successfully achieved his goal......almost. He's got it put together and now just has to do some finishing touches and add the swings and slides. It's pretty cool, I must admit. I'm very proud of him and can't wait to see Drew (and Allie) play on it! Pics below

Here it is, in all its glory

The picture in the hat turned out really good. Eyes open and everything. Looking good Allie!

Actually that came from Mom. I thought she would have put something in there saying it was from her, but she didn't. She got her that and that little pink, purple and white shirt with the skirt....I think that's what it was. She's so precious! This site is one of my Favorites, so keep it updated!!! Miss and love you guys!
