to say my dad is pretty awesome is an understatement.....last week, he spent 6 days (3/4's of which were raining) building taylor and walker a playhouse in our backyard.  he hammered away in the rain to finish it before taylor's birthday party.  it was so nice having him here....this AM taylor woke me up crying saying "i miss papa c"....i have to say, i miss him too.  i cannot thank my dad enough for the special gift he gave my children....we love everything about it.



hey ya'll....i would love to do a cool post but i am running around like crazy trying to get things ready for taylor's 5 yr old b'day party....why do i stress myself out by having it at the house??!!  have a stress-free weekend :)
