The sand is amazing!
Tim and I had been planning on building a sandbox for Claire in the spring, but the sand came 7 months early! Heath, my BIL, is a project manager on the new trax line to Daybreak and he had leftover fill sand on one of his jobs. Being the awesome guy that he is, he remembered that we were talking about building a sandbox for Claire, so he called us up and asked if we were interested in FREE sand. Of course we said YES! Tim hopped in his beloved new (old) truck and headed down to the job site. Heath had a big machine thing (I don't know what there are called... Asher? I am sure you know!) ready and waiting to fill the bed of the truck. Tim and I were a little a worried that the sand would be course and full of glass and other crazy stuff, but it wasn't. It is amazing sand! It's like beach volleyball sand. Annie even said it reminded her of sand on the beaches of Hawaii!
With the help of his friend Jon, Tim built Claire's sandbox a couple of Saturdays ago. I know Claire was excited to play in it that day, but they didn't finish until after she went to bed. The next couple days it snowed and then rained. It wasn't until this last Saturday that Claire had a chance to play in it.
She loved it!
She and Harrison played in it for hours. Claire filled up buckets, cups and bowls and knocked over sand castles. Thanks Heath, Jon and Tim! I am sure there will be many afternoons of lounging by the sandbox! (Don't be alarmed next summer if you see me sitting in a lawn chair with a good book, a jamba juice and my feet burried in the sand! The sand is that awesome!)

So, I recommended your talents to my brother in law who is marketing his herb/vitamin store "Vitality." He created a blog that needs...hmmm, shall we say, "a woman's touch...a chic, fashionably aware woman's touch" to be more precise.
His name is Jared. I hope you are okay with me doing that.
Oh, could you please send my your home address again!? I am SUCH a slacker...and have been meaning to send you a little thank you for your work. THANKS, Emily :)
