Painting, lights, tile and a birthday!


Grandma E., daddy's mother, with Sarah and Lydia waiting for the party to begin.


Praying for Taylor our special 16 year old!!!


A real coon skin hat just like Benjamin's


Pretty smiles!


Mr. Hughes was kind enough to come over and help begin to lay the tile. He has done a lot of it and was a great help, thank you Mr. Hughes!!


Dad and Mom's room

Ben handing dad the tiles

Mr. Hughes and Dad deciding where to start the tile.

All the tiles that don't need cut are done in the master bath! Yeehaw!



Dad working on outlets in the mudroom. Thank you Y. for your incredible help, you have been quite the blessing!!!!


Do you see the canned lights on in the kitchen area????


The first of our belongings in the attic, just the beginning!

Heather learning to put in an outlet, she did 14 of them today, yea Heather!!!!

The wood flooring needs to have the ends opened so the air can get in and acclimate the wood to the room. Ben and I did most of it ourselves! That was a big job!

Mom took this of me opening the box ends! We were almost done at this point and boy were we cold and tired!

Then I saw Benjamin doing this!!!! LOL! He was opening the ends of some boxes that were under others. He was not posed!

LOOK!!! We have light in the powder room!


Taylor hooking up an outlet


Grandpa worked long and hard today hooking up the furnaces. He made lots of noise banging and pounding all day!!!


Can you believe he is 76? Amazing guy!!!


More of his beautiful handiwork!!!



Lights in the girl's bathroom.

We are so excited at the progress in the past several weeks and anticipate much more to come. We are thanking God daily for our permanent power and Mr. U. who was used of God to help us get it. We are just amazed at how God works and so very thankful!!

OK. To make up the fact that I don't comment often, this will be a long comment. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TAYLOR! You're my best friend. I pray that you have many more birthdays.
That is a nice coon-skin cap! Now you need to make some pants or a jacket out of your deer.

BTW, the canned kitchen lights are neat. Wow! You're already canning in your new kitchen? I hadn't realized that kitchen lights were edible!

Haha! Loved that pic of you Amber! My those shoes look familiar! *wink* I'm SO glad we got those. It was a splurge for me, but I wear them all the time.

Happy birthday Taylor! You're getting ooooold!
