Hey! I'm back! This weekend went as smoothly as we had hoped for. Got most of the siding on and the bridal shower was really nice. But, I'm tired! So I took a few days off (besides, I couldn't get to my computer early in the morning -- my son sleeps in this room when he's home!) Anyway, on with the Old News...
