Time for a New Post

Here is the picture we promised Honey. We replaced the counters and tiled the back splash. Thanks to Patti and Ben for the new hood and stove. We love them. Thanks all of you for the Valentines too.! We moved the microwave over by the fridge. It's great there and seems to give us more counter space. Now we need to paint. We love you all.

Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's - Part 3

This is for those of you that requested to see the curtains and also the downstairs. It's kind of hard to see how the curtains sweep back because it is at night but you should be able to see the lights from the deck through the windows.

It was so fun to have John and Mindy and Johnny, Maggie and Josie her after New Year's. We left the Christmas decorations up. Johnny and Maggie enjoyed playing with the village.

Here are John and Johnny demonstrating the finer techniques with the Wii Sports. I love bowling. I would never get anything done if we had one. It is so fun.!

This is the way the downstairs was decorated this year.
Have I promised any other pictures and forgotten to post them? We put the other counter in the kitchen yesterday. The side with the sink. We just love them. We will post pictures of the kitchen when I get the tile back splash done. Love you all.

Blake and Grandpa

Blake loves to play the guitar and sing using Papa's microphone. It just reminds me so much of Clay only he doesn't say "I need a pick". This day Papa played with him. He looks so serious (which is usually not the case when he provides 'concerts' for Manny as I sit on the couch). Check out the profiles. Notice he is a 'lefty'. Later on he was really wailin' into the microphone as he made up songs about Papa, Manny and Fraidy. So cute.

5 FOOT icicle!!

With all the snow and then the melting during the day and the cold weather at night it has made for some pretty spectacular icicles hanging from the deck. We took this picture just before we crashed it to the ground. It is 38 degrees today so it would have gone by itself real soon anyway. Love you all.
