Things Are Happening...Just Slowly!

Hope to update more soon. I'm finishing off the bathroom which involves caulking the trim, painting the walls, sealing all the grout, painting the trip, repainting the bathroom mirror/cabinet, and fixing the scratches made in Matt's beautiful doors.

Why NOT to give your child your phone...

You might open it up and see something like this!

Still Going...

As we predicted there have been multiple problems with just about every pipe in our bathroom.

Today they finished up pipes below the toilet and fixed the joists that they had to cut out. Now our toilet won't fall through the kitchen ceiling....a good thing!

Everything is grouted and the dry wall experts have come in and finished the walls. We had a sink which Matt sent back because it was too big. Unfortunately, they are out of stock of the smaller size...so now we're waiting...

The guys working on the house are neat bunch of guys that live around here and very involved in the neighborhood. We're blessed to be working with them!

Sledding...

 Brookside Hill is a very popular place to go sledding. It's a pretty major hill that has a steep incline. You get a workout just trying to get up it. We were the only ones there this morning...The early bird gets the worm!!

 I definitely enjoyed the tube more...it makes the sharp angle at the bottom less painful :)

There is a definite thrill going down this hill. Here's two different views. (I didn't wipe out...There's just a lot of flying snow!!)

Ranger

Ranger is still doing well. He's definitely getting used to us and our routines. His greatest love is lettuce. He could eat a pound of it in about a minute. He also likes belly rubs and is getting much better at coming when called.

Kids Are Weird!

Ana is still finger knitting. She has around 300 feet which she has formed into this "octopus" which she mounted on a pole. Currently, she is torturing Mitike with it. How do they think of these things?

Bathroom Update...

 Well, we've made some more progress. Unfortunately, because of the poor weather on Friday, not much work got done. I'm excited to see what happens on Monday!
