Update on the Brady House

Slowly but surely we're kicking the spirit of Mike, Carol, Alice and the gang out of our new home. Not that I didn't like the Brady Bunch (I mean Mike was an architect and Marsha was a doll!), but we don't want to live like them.

So, starting Memorial day weekend we've been on a blitz to remove more of the 1960's decor and bring the house into the new century. The goal over the three weeks was to get rid of the green paint and paneling in the living room and dining room.

We encountered some small problems, like no drywall under the paneling in the living room and moldy drywall under the paneling in the dining room, but we seemed to have overcome most of these issues.

There are of course plenty of good stories to go along with the progress. Be sure to ask us about them!

Spring Update

OK, so its been a while since I posted. In that time plenty has happened. Here's a quick rundown:

1) The San Rafael All Stars won the Marin Fast Pitch Series (see my last post)

2) The Smackers three-peated (this time with Savannah) as the Marin County Minor League champs...this year going undefeated the whole season!

3) Mikayla officially graduated from elementary school;

4) The Marin Tremors are in full swing, having played tournaments in Vallejo and San Jose

These are the everyday updates. There is plenty more happening that I'll comment on shortly.
