Our two new additions.


A new chimney, and a new tree. Maggie and I both love birch trees, so we bought one about a month ago. The chimney... well... aside from being monstrously expensive (can you say "through-wall copper flashing?"), I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like it. I mean, it's a chimney. How much joy can a chimney bring?

Turns out: quite a bit.

I think this house is the first place I've really considered home. Strange as that may seem.

Anyway. Today was packed. PACKED! Morning mass, then a trip to Rye Playland, then home, then a 7-mile run, then swimming with the kids, then tennis with my oldest... then Maggie went out, so I put the two youngest to bed.

I should be exhausted, but I'm not.

Love to all. Even you, the lifeguard with a tendency to chit-chat instead of lifeguard.

That chimney looks pretty good.

Trees are awesome. I'm looking for something to replace an apple tree that I have to remove (it's diseased). Maybe I should consider a birch. Lots of neighbors have them.
