i tried...

hey everyone! dee dee and melanie, i just tried to load several pictures twice and it gave me the "page cannot be displayed" message both times. i think the storm outside is messing up the internet connection or something. i'm going to try to load them again later. i'm sorry it's taken so long...i forget to check the comments on the individual postings and had not read your comments requesting pics. dee dee donaldson really needs to post some of her pics b/c she took a lot! once she got there doug and i basically didn't take anymore b/c her's are so great. melanie, what is your neighborhood called? we'll look it up online and see if there are any pictures of the house. guess what everyone? doug and i got invited over to our neighbors' house for the superbowl last night. it was actually pretty fun to do something social in bham! :) doug's home today for an office day so we're going to try to get some more work done around the house. we're getting sooooo close to be finished we're beginning to dream about it! :) hope everyone else is having a good monday...does it feel like winter is back everywhere else too? it was supposed to snow here last night and this morning, but it's just REALLY cold and rainy. love you all!!
