Since last October (maybe September!) we've been working on redoing our front porch. Whoever tiled it did a lousy job and it was nearly impossible to improve upon it without just taking the sledgehammer to it and destroying the entire thing.
John's idea was to cover the concrete slab with tongue and groove real wood flooring like many of the older houses in the historic district in our city. I love the look, but was skeptical that it would withstand the weather. We finally finished it awhile back and I love the look and feel of our front porch now. It's so inviting that I had to sit out there for awhile and flip through a magazine after Zane went to sleep. It's become one of my favorite places in/around the house!
We're lucky enough to have great neighbors. Right next door are a little boy and girl that are right around Zane's age. Last night we hung out in the front yard just as the sun was setting. I had to grab the camera and catch a few shots of all three of them playing. Their little girl is three months to the day younger than Zane and is just getting the hang of walking, although she was running around last night! She's got big brother to keep up with.
