Definitely worth a thousand words

Here a few photos I couldn't resist posting. The first one is a hoot. This is Garrett at age three, which I just received from Anita (whose son Charlie is sitting on the caretaker's lap on the left). Besides Garrett's ridiculously cute pink shorts, this photo shows five boys whose families Anita has made contact with. Imagine five boys all from the same babyhouse at one reunion. What are the chances?
And look how beautiful Bob's remodeled basement and three-season porch turned out. Plus, the new silestone counters in the kitchen. Makes me want to move back right now. Thanks honey for doing such an amazing job. You're the best. All new windows and doors, ceramic tile and walls—plus tons of new electrical sockets. It's my dream retreat.
This used to be our dingy, dark basement. Now with the new walls, carpeting, ceiling and lights, it's an inviting place for Garrett to play in. Unfortunately, he doesn't get to play there because it needs to stay neat for showings.

Great photos Karen, the house looks great! I am keeping my fingers crossed for a quick sale!

The 5 boys are not only from the same baby house, but from the same small group in the baby house! I am thrilled that we have all connected!

Now just to get us all together!

I know I already commented on the pic when you emailed it, but WOW WOW WOW. How wonderful for these boys to be able to be in touch forever. I can already picture Garrett in a similar outfit as a funny prank in high school. :-)

As far as the house, it's just like watching those shows on HGTV when they come in and help you redo a few things before the "open house." Karen, it looks GREAT!!! I absolutely think it will sell soon and you will all be reunited shortly. And, now that we can see what Bob can do, I can picture the upgrades already in the "next" house! :-)

Hope all is well!!! Thank you so much for taking a break from your FB fast for my bday wishes!!!
