So we decided to build the kids a swing and play house for their main Christmas gift and this is what it grew into. The kids love it too. Jessica was afraid of them getting up on the tower but the kids love to climb and play on it.

Tenons for benches that I am making for our dinner table.

Here are two if the completed bench ends waiting to be finished.

Then there was Priscilla’s wedding.

Got into Beekeeping and built a top bar hive.

Put up several dozen quarts of tomatoes and dried this jar of tomatoes as well.

Went on our first vacation in the 11 years that Jessica and I have been married. The kids had a blast with their cousins and swam all week from dawn to dusk. Thanks to Susan for the coloring pages.

We wrapped up the week by all going bowling. This is Kyla watching her ball slowwwly roll down the lane, and yes that is gutter pipe in the gutter.

So as you can see we have had a busy year and summer. Stick around to keep up with the latest from us.

This was Asher's first time laying out in the sun. Its been a cold winter.

Girl loves to fwing(swing) too.

Low light or night shooting, and film photography are among my favorite styles. They give a unique feel to the image.
