future photographers?

Bode came over one night in January for a couple hours. They had fun playing, of course. They always do!

They even took turns taking pictures. Here is Bode's masterpiece! And here is Becky's!

I don't know...I think they could both have pretty promising careers!

January pics

We had a nice January. We got to watch Emma for a few hours... Becky and Daddy got to cuddle...

Becky got to pose as a princess...

and we all got to snowmobile again!

We decided to go visit Spencer one weekend in early January because they had so much snow. Everyone got a turn. Boy, was it fun! Thanks Mom and Larry!

Becky's "pink" bath

While the bathroom project was going on, Becky had to take a bath in the basement in a tub. As you can see....she HATED it! In fact, the first time she got to take a bath in the newly redone one, she first said, "No. I want the pink one." After her first bath, though, she realized it was much better to be able to "swim" even though it was fun to take a "pink bath" for a while.

Bathroom update!

Al and I decided we needed to get ou bathroom redone. Water was leaking from the caulking around the tub into the basement. Not a big deal, but something that wasn't going to go away. This is what we started with. We thought it was going to be a two- maybe three-day project. We had one of Al's coworker's husbands come help us.

This is as far as Al got.

This is what Steve had to do...the entire plaster walls were taken down. What a mess!

But here, just two weeks later, is our wonderful new bathroom!

And we finally (I think!) got most of the dust cleaned up yesterday from all the plaster. I don't think we've ever eaten out so much in our lives. We just couldn't stand to be in such a dusty, dirty house! Things are back to normal now, though, and Becky is playing in the bathtub right now and loving it!
