third in her age group.

They are Growing!
4/11/2010
This year in an attempt to be frugal, team Esmith.me decided to take matters
into our own hands and start a garden in our home. We started with 2 planting
trays and were given a third. Now the plants have outgrown the trays and
had to be put into pots. Needless to say we have a ton of full size tomato
and cherry tomato plants. We also have a few cucumber plants and the peppers
are finally starting to make an attempt at showing up.

Construction Update
3/14/2010
Well it has been a couple of very busy weeks here. We are almost finished
with the drywall mudding process in the South bedroom and the walk-in
closet in the North bedroom. We also put a coat of primer on the
walk-in closet. Also we finished installing some trim around the new
overhead door.
Also a ton of thanks to my Uncle Bill. He just finished a hand made
vanity for our new bathroom.
Pictures coming soon!.
New Photos - House Renovations 4
2/14/2010
This week team Esmith.me took a slight diversion from the normal work
upstairs. This week team Esmith.me replaced a door and it will change
our lives for the better. After weeks of fighting with the sliding
door getting stuck in the snow, we finally installed an overhead door.
There is still some trim work to be done, but we are still very excited to
get rid of the old door. Another exciting update is we got a new tub for
our upstairs bathroom.
View photos here.

New Gym Membership
2/13/2010
Well the esmith.me team now has a new gym membership program. For $70
per month you receive a family membership. This membership includes access
to 2 pools, each with their own water slide. Up to two hours of free
child care while you work out. Also you get free workout classes,
free one on one personal trainer sessions and access to all the regular

the pool and the free 2 hours of peace.

New House Photos in the Photo Gallery
1/30/2010
Well I finally got around to creating my first photo gallery in the Photo Gallery section of the website. They are photos of my home renovation project. We are finishing off the upstairs of the home. Apparently the previous owners ran out of money or really liked well lit attic space because they never finished it off. It worked out well for us because we are putting two bedrooms and an additional bathroom. You can view the photos here. We are in phase three: Drywall. More updates are to come soon.
Website Updates

My apologies for not updating this site very often. This year has been a very exciting and hectic year for the Smith family. Between the new house, the renovations and the family there has been very little time to update the website.
I would really like to say thank you to my affiliates who have been very patient. They have been waiting a long time for this site to update. You can find links to their websites at the bottom of the page.
Thanks to all of my visitors! More updates to come soon.
