Under construction

If you hadn't noticed in the last video with Ethan walking, we are currently doing some minor remodel adjustments to the house. We're removing the built-in, taking the bookshelf portions and putting them on either side of the fireplace, removing the wallpaper, patching the carpet with a piece from the dining room (which will be replaced with hardwood), re-tiling the front entrance, removing the linoleum in the kitchen and replacing with hardwood, painting the family room-living room-hallway both up and downstairs-and kitchen, replacing the kitchen counter top and sink---and probably appliances too--, and replacing most of the light fixtures on the first floor. Oh yeah, new curtains too. I'm sure there's more that I forgot.....but the house is in a state of chaos for the moment. We hope to have a bit of this done before the birthday/Easter party at the end of March.


Aidan helped to paint the family room.


Hooray Look At ME!!!!

The tiny has begun to conquer gravity!

Boo Hoo...mom has the flu.....

Winter wonderland


We got about 10 inches of snow last week. You would never know today, as it was all melted in an instant when we received 4.5 inches of rain two days after that snow. It melted so fast there was a raging torrent of a river in our front yard that went over the driveway.
