A couple of my kids have their own blogs for sharing family photos and events, so I thought I would give it a try. While I doubt there will be a lot of future events on this blog, I have a backlog of items I want to share about the Terra-Dome house I have/am building. That will come later. This first blog is about our 4th of July celebration at our new house with the whole family. By whole family, I mean all 5 of my children, their 4 spouses, all 9 of my grandchildren, In-laws, cousins, etc. We had 27 people in our 2350 sq ft house and it was great. We had 19 people sleeping in the house on Saturday. Here are some of the pictures I took that day, subtly showing different angles of the main room of our new house.
This is a view of the kitchen window/breakfast bar before everyone arrived.

While we were able to seat most everybody inside, some chose to eat outside since it was a nice day, especially for July in the south.We also had grand outdoor activities with plenty of parking.
Brad and Will (eating the cake) celebrated Will's first birthday while we were all together.
