This is what makes Allen happy. Every time we are out on the boat Allen will say things like, "this is awesome, this is the life, it doesn't get better than this". He truly loves having a boat and being on the water. He says that when he is on the boat he can forget about the daily stresses that life brings. Add me and the kids to the boat and he is in heaven. It doesn't matter if he actually gets a turn to wake board or not, he still loves it. He loves to watch his kids laugh and have fun, he loves to hear me scream on the tube, he loves to see them accomplish something new and see the pride on their faces, he loves throwing the kids in the water, he loves swimming with them, he loves to watch the sunset, and he even loves cleaning the boat. The other day our family spent most of a day cleaning the boat (Allen did most of it), having a picnic on the dock, and swimming in the water around the dock. As Allen was finishing up the cleaning, the kids and I were sitting on the dock with our feet dangling over, watching the boats go by and Carter said what a great day it had been and we all agreed. Then he asked if we would have a lot more days like this when we moved here. And I was so happy to say yes, we would. I can't wait.

I think you just described Heaven. And you'll be able to enjoy all that with just a step out the back door next year. Speaking of stepping out your back door, please post new pix of the progress on the house. :)
Allen looks like he's in an Edie Bauer catalog in that picture!
ps--yes, more house pix please :)
