our week in photos…

we’ve been keeping busy here this week…

the weather has been great, so we’ve broken out the summer clothes and spent a lot of time playing outside. 

On Thursday, Shane re-enlisted in the Navy for five years.  It was a nice ceremony, and it was nice to go meet some of the people that he works with.

Shane’s cake for the event…we figured the last eight years were pretty awesome, so the next five will hopefully follow suit!

On top of that, we’ve been working on the newest edition to what my dad calls “The Chapman Estate.”…a deck on the back of the house.

and just like everything else around here, we’re building it ourselves! (with the help of a friend who actually knows what he is doing)

Here’s the plan:

The footings and posts you see here, are for the lower level deck, that is going to be the main sitting and dining area.  The two posts are where a set of steps will go to an upper deck, which will be level with the pool, providing pool access and an upper sitting area so you can see better when people are in the pool.  Once finished, it is going to be pretty sweet.
