New Stove

Well I think this is the last of my house pictures, for now. Steve installed our new stove just before the New Year. He about broke his knee cap just getting it to where it needed to go, but here it is in all its glory. Yes, it looks exactly like Jeanie's and Tammy's, except mine does not have the convection oven part. I LOVE my new stove.

Seamless Finish

This is what my living room has looked like for the past 4 days. Yesterday he draped the plastic all over the place. Today he finished!!!!! He also fixed a few other things. All in all, I'm glad to be done.

Finished Outside of House

I sent this group of pictures to John around Christmas. The rest of them are in the family file. The dirt on the bottom of the skirting is from the rain or dew dripping down and splashing on the skirting. Also on the back porch we will be adding a board so there isn't so much of a gap. We won't be keeping the ramp, it is just there to help us move.

Arrival - Halloween

I've kind of been unsure how to post some of this and that is part of what has taken me so long. This seemed the most amazing picture and then all of the pictures have been added to the 'more family pictures' file. Kind of an interesting series of photos. This is our new home when it arrived. Yeah, it got stuck on the ravine. They brought in a bulldozer to fix the ravine and I think everyone on the land cheered because of it.

There is another picture of them backing the front section in and it was a really tight fit. The picture does not do it justice because I'm guessing there was about six inches from the new trailer to the old. It was quite nerve racking to watch.

Krammy Boy turns 12

When Mark was in the 2nd or 3rd grade he created Krammy Boy. (Mark spelled backward). It was just something fun to write about since he had to come up with something everyday for homeschooling. Later Benjy Boy was created by his friend Ben. Anyway, he struck this pose today while I was taking pictures for his birthday (this is his new shirt from his Dad), and it reminded me of Krammy Boy. They grow up so fast.

So, on the boys' 12th birthday we compare how tall they are to me. It started because Justin was growing so fast that a couple of months before he turned 12 I said that he would be as tall as I was by his birthday. Sure enough he was exactly my height. Alex was several inches below me. Mark is maybe, maybe 1/2 an inch shorter than I am. Can you believe it?!

Happy Birthday Mark!!!!!

Proud Mom

I took Justin to Temple College this morning because a hold had been placed on all of his stuff. So we went in to take care of it and in the process found out his grades last semester. He took College Algebra and English Composition I. He got A's in both classes. Yeah, he is pretty excited too.

This semester he will be taking English Composition II and History II.
