the deck.

hi there.  it's been a really long time since i posted.  we are as busy (or busier) than ever here, and i just do not have my act together with where the pictures are, which computer i'm writing on, etc.  silly technology.  

anyway...we built a deck!  er, um...we had a deck built.  in march.  it's amazing.  we're still in the process of sprucing it up and getting it set up the way we want it, but our backyard has come a LONG way from when we bought the house.  very exciting.  for posterity, we documented the before/after.  we need to take some shots of what it looks like stained and with furniture and plants, but baby steps...
