Ellis' new best friend is Dixie. Since we've had our deck redone, we spend a TON of time out back and Ellis loves following Dixie around and patting her belly and giving her hugs.
Our new deck is AWESOME. Our old deck was part covered porch and part open. It was in pretty bad shape, with boards almost rotted through and the rails were NOT up to code. It was a hazard to say the least AND it smelled. The new deck is HUGE. We ended up completely replacing it. We built a new one that was 2' wider and 3' longer, but all one big open deck and it is incredible. The amount of space we gained in awesome and the kids LOVE it. I can see them from the Kitchen, so when I'm cooking they can play out there. We had a gate put in at the top of the stairs to keep them corralled. With the fall weather coming the timing has been perfect.
Our first meal on the new deck (also happened to be my Birthday dinner). Mom and Dad had just gotten back from a two week trip to Germany and Turkey, so we got to see them also.
