Seeing some light..............

I've been thinking that I am never going home and finally it looks like there is a possibility. I love the new look of my bathroom! The sheet rock is all hung and now that really fun part taping(what a mess). I am hoping by May 1st we'll be moving in.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Justin has never ate Mom's chicken noodle soup. He was so cute eating it I had to get a picture. I think we all have great memories of Mom making the noodles(an all day event) and then waiting while it cooked and cooled to get our bowl, yummy.

New Years Day

I keep meaning to post our snowshoe adventure on New Years Day and here it is. Justin and Wyatt were a lot of fun,I love the picture of them walking in the trees.

And more of the remodel....................................

Here's an update on the money pit. While getting ready to install the back door, there was a problem and hole had to be cut into the hall floor outside the bathroom and wouldn't you know the plumbing is baaaaddd! A new water line was ran, pipes are the old galvanized stuff, and new pipes will be installed. I haven't lost it yet but I think its coming soon.

More of the remodel..................................

More tearing apart of my old home. I can almost hear Tim Taylor (Home Improvements)cheering my construction guys on. The furnace ducts are almost all in place and its a possibility that I will have heat by the weekend. Justin thinks we should sleep in the kitchen. Next post will be of the kitchen.

If these walls could talk.........................

This all started the first part of November, and the project has now be named the "money pit". My old log house has keep me safe and warm for 14 years, I feel sad and misplaced, but am excited about the new look of this house.

2008 Halloween Favorites

My top 2 favorite Halloween things this year are.... 1. My black witch that Andi (my partner in crime at work secretary) made for me after hoarding this pattern for years (1997 I think) in my stacks of what I want to make things. The dear girl just looked at the pattern or me I'm not sure which and free hand drew this wonderful decoration for my yard. I love it, love it, love it. 2. My babysitter (LaShelle) and I had been talking about books and I had told her about my favorite book growing up. Bless her heart. Halloween night after Justin and I had walked around the neighborhood, she came over with this book, "the Little leftover Witch", what a great surprise the library has lost their copy. I love this book. Thank you LaShelle.
