Finally a new post!

I've been such a bad blogger lately...my reasons are two-fold. One is that I went back to work after a very nice (and long) semester break. It was hard getting in the routine again! And two, we are working on remodeling a bathroom in our house so it seems that all of my spare time ends up being used on the bathroom. The bathroom project is coming along and I can see the end of our hard work.

First, here a few pictures of James in the past month. He got a red wagon for Christmas (thanks Grandpa and Grandma!) and he loves to ride in it.

And a few pictures from a couple of recent trips to the park.

Just goofing off...

And some bathroom pictures. I was gone when the destruction took place and Doug took pictures on his cell phone but I failed at uploading those to my computer. Doug tore everything out of the bathroom down to the studs, and then re-sheetrocked and put in a new bathtub/shower. These first pictures are during the taping and texturing process.

Next came painting (my job!) and tiling the floor. So this is what the bathroom looks like now.

Christmas - Part III

Finally our last installment of photos from our long Christmas vacation. We had a great time in Montana despite a round of stomach flu (thank goodness somehow James was spared of this) and cold, cold weather.

Doug, Dad, and Pete installed a new screen door with a little help from James.

Uncle Pete took James outside on a huge snowdrift in the front lawn.



And James loved spending time with Grandpa and Grandma. Grandpa took James sledding...


and on the new tractor...

and in his spare time, they petted the dogs in the garage.
