A few people have asked me about the swings that Dave built. So, amidst daily swimming lessons, trips out of town and summer visitors, I have finally found some time to post about our new swings. Sorry for any blurriness - wrong setting on the camera. We did not build the fence; it was here when we arrived - if we had built the fence it would look quite different and might not effectively enclose anything.
The kids often head out to the swings when still in pajamas;
pjs don't always match in our house.
Or maybe this is after
bathtime - Hannah's hair is still wet.
Dave did not build this swing. I bought it five years ago when still in the big city. I was out for a run on a Saturday morning and spied it for 2 bucks at a yard sale. I bought it in anticipation of not living in an apartment and living in a house with a yard and a tree from which to hang my new purchase.
This is the structure from which Dave hung the swings. The structure actually supports an elaborate tree house that, as you can see, sits very high off the ground. It is built of cedar, has real windows, a locking door and a loft; Dave and I have considered it as an optional master bedroom. Currently, given our kids' propensity for falling and breaking body parts, the rope ladder which accesses the tree house is 'non-functional'.

the swings are great, and probably don't break as often as ours. i had to laugh; my first thought when you mentioned the "alternate master bedroom" was "but it would be TOO HOT". (yeah, near 40 again today, WITHOUT the heat index.)
what happened to the new url?
