Home Sweet Home

We hadn't been home in what seemed like months. My mom and Mike came up to Fort Worth to help us take care of Claire while Kyle and I fixed up our yard (it was in contention for the "WORST yard of the month"). Anyway, Kyle and I ended up hiring a crew to work in the yard, there was just way too much work. They did a great job and it looks MUCH better. Also, I got on this porch swing kick and decided that we HAD to have one. Well, Mike was at Lowes and was able to get a good deal on one from the guy there, normally a $150 swing and he got it for $50....hhhmmm....Well, we got our porch all cleaned off and got the new swing up. I went and sat on it, with Claire, and felt a little flimsy. So we took some pictures of us on it, posing and looking so happy. Then my mom says, "Kyle, go sit on it with them." Kyle sits and CRACK, the swing totally breaks and we all go flying backwards, luckily we didn't hit the ground. It was really scary, and then really funny afterwards. I only wish we had taken a picture of the swing after it had broken. Needless to say, we went out and bought a new swing. It looks great and Claire loves swinging on it. I'm still a little nervous when I first sit down each time =)
