It's been awhile!

Ok, so blogging now isn't our top priority. But, here is an update on the latest and greates! There have been many things going on around the house that have needed fixing (Jeff isn't the best at handyman work). After all the rain a few weeks ago, we had a water spot in our ceiling. After an inspection, it was determined that there was a leak in our roof and tiles needed to be replaced. Then once that was repaired, the drywall had to be redone and painted inside! Then, at the same time, the dogrun gate became loose (the bolts in the cement were rusting and eventually gave out). Every now and then we'd find Minnie and Nikoli at our back door (without permission). Finally the neighbor came over to help Jeff with the repair (apparently we didn't have the right drill for the job). So, things have been a bit hectic at Chez Graves!

Last Friday, the 15th was Dina's brother's 25th birthday. Justin made a big deal that he was turning a quarter of a century old (HELLO-this year is going to be the big 3-0 for Jeff and Dina). We were skeptical at first to take the kids, but everyone was expecting them to attend. After much worry, it worked out great and both kids were well behaved. It just made for a late night for them and when it was time to go, both Katarina and David were exhausted! The picture above is a rare photo op of the birthday boy, David, and Dina! We're getting old....
