Update

Will and Nick laid the last bricks on the patio Friday morning before Nick went to school! Now we are scheming on a corner bench, an outdoor kitchen, landscaping, a fireplace.... By spring it should be really great!

We enjoyed some time bonding with Galens and Dougs over pizza last night while the Beavers were on TV. They witnessed that Zeek can run full speed into our sliding glass door without breaking it. Zeek doesn't seem any goofier than normal either.

This week's priority is to get a new dishwasher. Mine has been falling apart for quite some time and reached the end of the road yesterday. I spent way too much time hand washing dishes today! These old hands can't take it for too long!
