Winter Wonderland...

I have to admit...I love the first snowfalls of the year! It snowed so much on Saturday and although it is scary to drive in, it is beautiful to look at! In fact I made OJ leave the blinds open as I fell asleep last night so I could look at the tree outside our window covered in snow!

These others pictures are from today before church....


Oh and by the way....last night Graham slept like a champ! We have started to try to put him to bed earlier...so...he ate at 8:30pm, went to bed around 9:30pm, I fed him again at 2:30am he slept until 7:00am ate again....and took a nap from 8:00am-10:30am!!! Wahoo!

Extreme Home Makeover Edition

For the past 6 months we have slowly been remodeling some aspects of our condo...we started with painting, then moved to tiling, and finished with new carpet. Let's just say it has been a long process and I am ready to be done and have my house normal again. I guess I should be showing the finished product but if I show these pictures first then you will appreciate the

finished product even more! (Plus I want to get my house put back together before I show you the "finished" pictures!) It looks really nice, and feels a lot more "home-like".
I really can't say I contributed that much except for some painting, grouting, and pulling carpet staples out of the floor. OJ deserves the real credit. He has been working so hard. Sometimes staying up all hours of the night to get it done. Although the process hasn't been "argument free" :) I'm grateful to have such a thoughtful husband who wanted our home to be nice. What a good guy I married!







I love this picture...we had to move everything to get the carpet in...OJ is the master packer...he fit almost everything on our "tiled" areas...which really isn't a lot of space!

Graham's new talent

Let me give you a little background...OJ has always teased me about my "finger toes". Yes, I can pick up pretty much anything with my feet and toes. It's nice...if I don't want to bend over and pick something up....I can just do it with my toes! Since the day Graham was born, OJ has joked that Graham has my "finger toes". For the first couple of weeks after he was born he would not relax his feet and would spread his toes so far apart.

So a couple of Sundays ago I thought it was time to prove the talent. I decided to see if he could hold a pen...TaDa...he CAN!! I have such a talented son! The best part was when he started to lift his other foot up to help him hold the pen. I was just going to take a picture and show OJ but right when I was doing it he walked in from his meetings and saw it first hand!
