New Front Door

Saturday we had a project day out our house. LOTS of work got done! Once Josh's project was finished he asked if Logan wanted to help put in the front door....Josh said I would get everything we needed. I quickly found the shims, exterior screws, caulk, etc.

While Josh and Logan went and got some door trim, Brian and Dad figured out how to put the door knob and dead bolt in properly. I was super glad for that, because I don't really like doing door knobs.

p.s. When I got home from work last night, Josh had painted the trim....so I now need an updated picture!

New pattern

Libby found a new pattern for me to try. It was supposed to be a bunny, but.....

Oh well. I still think it's cute.

'Nother Gift

I asked for the chopper attachment for my kitchen aid...and it was given to me!

My Birthday is coming.

At a friend's house, we recently played a new game called, "Say Anything."

One of the questions was, "What will your tombstone say?"

Each person wrote an answer for me to choose from and this was Josh's answer.

"My birthday is April 16."

He has learned that date well!

In 2 months and 13 days it will be my birthday. Just thought you'd want to know.

Christmas Tree

Aaron brought us a free tree he found in town!

Josh had to do some real trimming before we could trim it.

We both added decorations from our childhood

Finished up and my stack of gifts from Josh!

Our gifts to each other...guess who used blue paper.

Our first Christmas morning.

From Josh

One of the gifts Josh gave me was an ironing table cloth. 

It fits our table exactly and makes my whole sewing surface safe to iron on!
