Bonfire, Easter, and a finished porch floor!

We've had a fun week here at the house as the weather gets warmer and we're able to be outside more.  Over the weekend we had our annual family bonfire which helped us clean up the majority of the debris that came down from the trees over the winter; on Sunday there was an Easter egg hunt over at the Beehive; and this week our crew has finished the deck of the porch!  They are currently working on the porch steps.  Inside the house, painters stained the trim for the windows and the electricians have moved outlets, fixed a short, and are helping us light the brick arches.  Plumbers put in two new outdoor spigots for hoses.  Eliza has picked a color for her bathroom (Behr - Coral Bells), and the hardwood floor is finished in the family room and kitchen.  Lots of progress on many fronts!
