So, have you been wondering what the Tepen Clan have been doing for the last 2 months?? Please refer to the title of this blog....that should have all of the answers you need. Besides "the basement" we really have not been able to do too much. Chris has been working down there every weekend since the last update. I actually got to get some of the painting done, at this point I'd say I'm at about 60% finished. Chris has about half of the tile done and he just installed the cabinets for the bar area today......it's actually starting to look pretty cool now! Hopefully the granite guy can come out this week to get started on counter tops, the granite we picked is SOOOO COOL! We have pretty much spent our entire summer working on the basement.
We did manage to squeak in some down time. We had a few visitors this summer....Chris' Aunt Jean and Uncle Denny,friends Beth and Skip, and Chris' mom and dad, and my mom is visiting this coming week - see you in a couple of days mom. We went to a couple of BBQ's, the most recent at the Nuetzel's which we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope that my friend Deni and also that my friend Sharon and family will be able to see us in the upcoming months. Oh, and Denny and Jean, we had the kids in the superman t-shirts just yesterday and I totally forgot to snap a picture of them....I will try to do that next time, they were really cute in the shirts!
The kids are really changing quickly now. It's amazing how rapidly their language and comprehension have taken off in the past few weeks. The are totally obsessed with being outside. They love running around and kicking a ball and playing in the sand. They are going up and down the steps really well now. They totally LOVE corn on the cob, Grand Junction peaches, grapes and cantaloupe. Oh, and Wes can put down more baked beans that most adults I know......of course, this also has it's downside if you know what I mean - ha ha!
Enough rambling....how about some new pics. Enjoy!
