Home construction week2

Week number 2 of the home remodel back in 2008

Once there was good weather

Once upon a time it was the end of March and the weather was awesome. As you can tell from the pictures, it was good enough for Heather to get a sweet sunburn on her legs and arms. Unfortunately the last week the weather has taken a turn for the worse. It’s snowed or rained the last 5 days which is sad because we finally got our fence installed in our backyard (which means we can now just send Matt out back to run around without worrying about him getting lost or stolen or something). Hopefully the weather turns soon so that when family comes out the end of this month we can play outside.

Just like mom and dad

 

Matt Loves to help and it definitely is better to let him help than to let him terrorize our home so

Just like mom……

Just like dad…..

Latest Wood Projects

I finished this clock a little while ago. It took some time to make (mostly because I don’t have a ton of free time to work with) but it’s finally finished.

The for my dad’s birthday I carved him a lighthouse that I glued to a rock. It’s not amazing but it was fun to do.

Growing Kids

The kids are definitely growing. Matt is officially potty trained. I’m pretty impressed with him, I don’t think he’s had an accident during the night for over two weeks (however if he has I’m not the one that would wake up and deal with it so I can’t promise I’m accurate in my assumption).

Emma is growing (although very slowly). She’s tiny tiny for her age but development-wise she’s doing great. She definitely knows what she wants and she definitely knows how to throw a fit when she doesn’t get it. She scoots around getting into everything that Matt is playing with, drives him crazy.

I think we are all pretty excited for the weather to warm up so we can start playing outside. We did have a nice couple of days last week when we got to take the kids out and swing.

Pictures From Christmas

Christmas was awesome at our home. We’re so far behind with getting updates on our lives that we thought we just throw some pics on here to share and show how the kids are growing.

Christmas is just around the corner!

We are so excited for Christmas in our home. Matt has asked Santa for a soccer ball. We've watched a lot of Christmas related shows. We made a fantastic gingerbread house. We've talked about baby Jesus and all the people in the Nativity story. It is so fun to share all of this with Matt! Another fun part of Christmas (for me) is the cute Christmas outfits. Nana sent Emma some gorgeous dresses and Matt some studly sweater vests. So I was very excited to get my cuties dressed up for church today. And I had to take a picture (or 3) of their adorable-ness.
