October 2008

Tuesday, October 14th--Ben & Desi became "official" members of the Dixon clan and US citizens. The judge let them sit in her chair while we took pictures.



Their new house is located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
This is the front of the house---



This is the back of the house and the walkway between the house next door.


Historic building across the street--first building of Gettysburg College and Seminary from the early 1800s. Also served as a field hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg.




The house needed some fixing up--new paint. Notice the orange living room with their rose-colored Victorian couch!
As work progressed it began to look like an orange zebra or an albino pumpkin!!





The backyard needed to be fenced. Saturday the 18th, Linda & Mike drove their truck up and Dad drove our car with me and Tammy & Isabella. We primed walls in the house and the guys worked on the fencing in the backyard, Jenni's sisters were there, along with a friend-John, and Jenni's mother, Tina. The downstairs got one coat of prime paint that day.
The fence got started! More work was done on Sunday!
Monday, Dad & I went back up and I watched kids while Dad & Eric finished building the fence and Jenni put the first coat of pale pink paint on the girls' walls.

Saturday


Monday
The End!!
