Palm Sunday

Little Bookies!


I REALLY think you should wear my fire hat, Sophie!

Hmmm...what have we here? Should I try the cookies or vegetable platter?

Playing cars with Gpa Danny

I am outside the box...I am sure I won't get dirty!

My China doll!




What am I supposed to do?

oh...there's stuff inside!

See?

Boy, truck, sand...nothing better!

Brother huddle

Jordan's hair is beginning to curl!

THE END!

Need a boost!

Sophie and Isaac to the rescue!

Leaving the spider webs behind....

The webs are gone now, and fresh coats of paint now cover the walls. Here's a few shots of the last few weeks.

15 or so bags of laundry being sent to the cleaners in Redding. With the amount of money they charge to clean the clothing/bedding/rugs...we could have bought all new stuff!
Cleaning ladies cleaned each toy in the box! Wow...is this what having a housekeeper feels like?
Painting up high! and leaving the white walls behind. The colors chosen, as they look on the color chip, are actually brown, but with the lighting...actually look green most of the time. The only time they look brown is when there is a lot of direct sunlight coming in on them! Good thing I like green!




Laundry room ripped out.
So many colors to choose from...the blue wasn't well received...oh well! Paul's standard answer/comment to all my trial colors..."white is always right!"




More to come....I have a rustic red wall in the office...and the girls' room is the same color! Woohoo! I am living on the edge!

You never know.... but we do know...

You never know...

...how dirty your house is!
...how much stuff you have!
...how organized you really are! or aren't!

...till you move...or have a fire!







But we do know that we are thankful....

...this did not happen at night or when we were away from home!
...no one was hurt!
...for a helpful neighbor!
...for a fire department station that is close!

THANK YOU, GOD, FOR ALL YOUR PROVISION!

Jordan's Saturday Morning Wake-Up Call

Sleeping...unsuspecting Bump

Here comes the first creeper...

Creeper number 2 is lagging behind...not so sure of that bump!

Creeper #1...always in a helpful mode...ready to give a lift...

...or a shove...

...or a yank!

Creeper #2 bails out on this adventure, leaving Creeper #1 with the Bump!

oh no! Creeper #1, you've been caught!
