If only my little kids weren’t still in school!!! The weather has been beautiful and the summer twilight lasts and lasts … too bad I have to put my kids to bed for school the next morning. Last night Andrew would not go to bed – or at least, he was in his room, but would not stop playing. At […]
Well, we continue to work on the house. We’ve got all the windows installed, thanks to some professional help, but we still had to drywall & finish the upstairs windows that were too small for the space. Thanks to Mom & Dad, the kids rooms have been finished and Andrew’s has even been painted. Wanted to show some pictures of […]
Haven’t posted in awhile – and I have no pictures – so I’ll warn you up front. Still, I’m feeling the need to say something. We’ve enjoyed a quiet Sunday afternoon. Tom substituted in Primary for the 7 year olds. All boys (5 of them). I was there for sharing time but left him to fend for himself while I […]
So, the tiling work is finished (except for sealing the grout, which won’t change the look at all). Here’s some pictures. Now we just need to sand all the wood and do some painting – we’re thinking white trim paint. So, what do you think??
Despite the prodigious amounts of snow that fell last week, the snow was pretty much gone by Saturday (gotta love Denver weather!) and now we’re having another snowy day (though the forecast is for a measly 2-6 inches). I personally am glad to have the snow – I’ve missed it this winter – but it is a little odd in […]
First off, do you like our new look? I had to browbeat Spencer to get him to do something new. He’s not impressed because it only took him a few minutes to design it – if it doesn’t take four hours, it’s not worth it!! We had a surprise visit from Mom & Dad Cottle this past weekend. It was […]
So, I still don’t have cool pictures to post – I probably never will!! We’re down to the last week of school for the little kids (but they will be heading right back to school two weeks later!). They are totally excited to be going to new grades. Hope it meets their expectations! Spencer is getting ready to go to […]
So, we spent our Saturday doing yard work. We got the chain saw working and took down one of the dead limbs in our cottonwood – then borrowed our neighbors tree trimmer to take down all the smaller stuff. It looks a lot better, but we spent most of the day working and I could hardly move by the time […]
Click for fullsize So, I tried to post this earlier and had trouble with pictures and then lost my whole post. It’s been a few days, so I thought I’d try it again. Three weeks ago we redid the upstairs bathroom (see first post for a little bit about why). So now we’re working on the bathroom in our bedroom. […]
Well, we’ve made it through another conference weekend, and all children are alive! I made conference bags with stuff to do for each of the kids – the stuff lasted about one and half hours and then Andy started crying because we wouldn’t let him get up and leave. Fun times at our house! Seriously, though, I really enjoyed this […]
