A new deck and a 'cook-out'

Our newest 'adventure'? We've decided to put our house on the market to see if it will sell. We really hope that we can get a good price for our house, but we will see. Before we can actually list it, though, we have a few minor repairs and 'updates' to do to the house. The first big project was replacing a small deck in our back yard. I didn't get a 'before' picture, but this is the original deck all 'piled up'.
Edgar took a day off of work to get the deck done. he did a really good job, and only has a few blisters from all the hammering (why don't we have a nail gun?!). Here he is hammering in the last board. He just has to seal it, and it is completely finished. He also painted the front door this weekend. It looks really nice-he painted it blue to match all of the trim.
On Sunday evening Edgar went riding with his friend Tim, so Eli and I decided to have a 'cook-out'. This was our little set-up on our new deck.
Eli had a BLAST! He loves being outside! He talked and giggled the entire time we were out there. I think he liked seeing the shadows and looking at the trees. I could hardly eat, because I kept laughing at him laughing. We had a great time. I put a couple of videos on so you could see just how much our little boy enjoys the great outdoors!
