Our New Addition to the Family

Dreams DO come true ... for little boys and a big grown boy. Near the end of August, we welcomed a new addition to our household: a half-court regulation size basketball court. We (they - the boys in the family) had been dreaming of putting this in someday, and we nearly waited another year or two. However, the opportunity presented itself (can't pass up the chance to have the concrete truck drive across the temporarily-empty lot behind us), and we did it.

Marc and Allyson and Rachel worked hard to landscape around three sides of the court while the big kids were in AZ.

Chandler eagerly tests the final product.



The future-NBA-star, himself.
