For my Project 365 I decided to also post my pictures on flickr. The group that I post has weekly challenges, and this week is “you in the mirror”. After church, and after naps, we had dinner, and I still had not taken any pictures. The kids were going to bed (Jonathan wasn’t asleep…but should have been!) so there wasn’t much to photograph. So I decided to go ahead and do the challenge. I probably took 50 pictures, then browsing through them I finally found one that was half decent. Now I don’t like my smile much, especially when I am trying to smile, so that’s why most of the shot is my camera! It’s a pretty camera

February 24, 2008It's getting closer…
February 23, 2008The move that is! We went out to the house today to do a few things, and just see how things were coming along (and no the shower is still NOT done!). We do have granite for our counter-tops though. He has even installed three slabs, and has a fourth one almost ready (just needs to sand the corners down).
Here is a picture of our desktop in the kitchen.
Shane hung up the curtain rods so that I would have some measurements to start with. I also got the fabric for our living room windows cut so I can start making those when I go visit my mom. We also bought some numbers to put on the house. Jonathan laid them out very neatly!
Lynn Burgess is putting the stone up outside and he is almost done. He has the front porch and pillars left to do. He has spent the last couple weeks (on warm days) wallowing through the mud do get it done for us. He just lives up the street so he will be one of our neighbors!
And here is a look at the front of the house… mud and all!
We just need about five more dump truck loads of rock and then we should be ready to move in without getting the truck stuck!
Playing outside in the cold
February 19, 2008For the last few days Jonathan has had a “friend” come knock on the door asking if he can play. We were always on the way out the door to do something, or on our way upstairs to get ready for bed. So today when he saw his friend outside he wanted to go play. So I told him he could if he stayed in front of the house where I could check on him since Sean was asleep. I went out later when Shane got home and got some pictures…
And here he is… chasing after his first girl!
MTC
February 18, 2008Today is a big day! Shane’s parents are going to serve a mission in the Samara, Russia Mission and will be gone for 2 years. This is the last we will see of them in person until they get back. They are very excited to be going, as you can see below! They have been planning for this for years, and the day has finally come. Today they entered the MTC, and in one week they leave for Russia. Not much time to learn the language, but they will do fine once they just jump right in! They have had a tutor over the phone for a few months so they won’t be completely lost
Here is the whole gang!
See you in two years!
