While I was busy helping Eliza adjust to having 4 kids, Dad was helping Matt pour a new set of steps for the front porch. I was in VA for two weeks, and then Dad joined us - in time for my birthday - and a new porch!!
Robbie and Hannah came on their way to Seattle - just in time for Robbie to lend a hand!! Many trips to Home Depot were involved - and some equipment and truck rentals too.
They tore out the old steps, framed up the new ones, mixed the concrete, and poured!!
To say that the neighborhood kids were transfixed by the whole procedure is putting it mildly!! They especially loved the old broken out concrete - that's what Theo is pushing and pulling along to his fort in the side yard!
All's well that ends well!!
