Miss you Uncle Jason (by Brady)

So Uncle Jason came home to see me, that's right just me! okay, well maybe some other people too but boy did we have fun. I hadn't seen him in a while but I thought we looked a lot alike. Uncle Jay was great at letting me run around and get into trouble (but not too much.) I love you Uncle Jay and can't wait to see you in August!

I Can Get Into Everything!!!

Guess what I figured out this weekend: I can get into just about anything! This afternoon, I was playing in the breezeway. Dada left the door to the garage unlocked, so I helped myself to it. I ended up playing in the garage before Mama and Dada realized I had escaped and came running out after me. They thought I was going to run out into the street! Now they put some plastic thing over the doorknob, but I'll figure out how to take it off tomorrow, have no fear.

I've also started putting small sentences together. I might say something like, "Dada, go? Coat!" or "More 'crackie', please!" Mama is trying to teach me how to say thank you. Although I can actually say the word, I'm not really sure what it means.

Let's see, what else is going on in my life these days? I love going outside to play in the yard. It is the first thing I ask to do when I get up in the morning. I also like playing hide and go seek. Just tonight, I snuck upstairs when no one was looking, and hid behind the chair in my bedroom. Dada had to come looking for me. What a silly guy that Dad is!!!!

That's all for now. Happy Memorial Day everyone!

Love,

Brady

Opening The Pool

What should have been a one-hour project was, of course, not a one hour project. I decided to open my pool this weekend. The cover came off in about two minutes, and I had the whole filter assembled and turned on in about twenty minutes. Then of course, came the problems. I had three leaks in various connections, which required three separate trips to Namco Pools in Salem, but they are all fixed. I also had to change the sand in my filter, because the water wasn't clearing up. So, I've started doing that, but ran into darkness tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to wrap that up tomorrow and get the pool running for good! Yeah summer!

The Swingset Is Done!!!

Well, thirty-some hours later, and we have a brand-new swingset in our backyard. David, it is ready when you are!

Clean Bill of Health

We got GREAT news today. Brady had his kidneys re-tested today at MGH (you may remember, he has been taking preventative antibiotics every day since he was three months old when he was diagnosted with a kidney reflux). The tests shows his kidneys are functioning completly normal!

Yeah!

Another Room Finished

Over the past few weeks, Erica and I re-did our upstairs bathroom. We stripped the pink wallpaper, took out the fixtures and the vanity, and put in new ones. We added wainscotting and a fresh coat of paint, a nice dark green. It looks like a whole new room!
