Well, the demolition appears to be complete and the building starts tomorrow. So here is the latest video and also a picture of a roll in shower I bought today on craigslist, complete with all the grab bars, faucets, etc. that is like new. It will be removed from its present location and delivered to our home in a few days. This will save us hundreds of dollars!

The Remodel

Here is where we are at in the remodel. Most of the demolition is done and the building should start soon!

Here's a fun pic!

Happenings

 

Elise is now 1!

This was from the 6 inches of snow we got at the end of March! Elise loved watching it snow.

Pigtails and cowboy boots!

 

 

 

Elise is walking, running and laughing more than ever! She loves getting her hair combed and I love her pigtails and cowboy boots. After spending a couple days in the snow, we headed to  the Coast for Spring Break. It was Elise’s first time to the beach and she loved it! Happy Friday the 13th!

Aren't these little bunnies adorable?!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Now that we have the Dinner Table, maybe no one will read this anymore...

But just in case I wanted to be the first here to wish Dad a Happy Birthday! Hope it was a wonderful day. We can't wait to see you next month!

Just thought I would say hello from Florida! It is good to be with my parents and sister, though Janet left yesterday. The sun has been hiding behind the clouds most of the time, but the temperatures are in the 70's and low 80's so I am not going to complain. Life is good!

Happy Belated Birthday, Elise!

Hello Elise...
We are very sorry we missed your birthday a week ago Friday. You were in our thoughts last week.
Can't wait to see you again someday.
Sorry we don't have a picture to post of you...all I could think of that we had handy is one of Bekah when she was almost one. Any resemblance?

We love you!
Jason, Nikki, Bekah, and JJ

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRENNA!! We sure do love and miss you 'round these parts!

Walking!

This was the first attempt at filming and about the 5th time she walked. The camera is way cooler than Dad.

 

She’s basically already running!
