My goal was to be a better blogger for the new year and that really hasn't happened, but even I was getting tired of the Christmas background, so I thought it was about time for a change.
First off, a big welcome to our new addition to the family. Curtis R was born Thursday morning, Feb 25. He's a real cutie. Congratulations Tyson and Kim.

Next, I had a few ask for before and after pictures of Ralph's Christmas present. I know, 5 gals of mud, 5 gals. of paint, 5 bundles of ceder and a few days of hard work isn't very romantic, but what can I say. I was told that it was a d___good thing I was HIS wife.


It has been interesting working in the old house. Under the flooring we found old Life magazines and newspapers from 1942 and 1944. War was the main topic back then. I guess things haven't changed much.
We tried to save some of them, but they are in pretty bad shape.












The finished room turned out kind'a nice, considering what we started with. We've finished one of the bedrooms now and are getting ready to start on the second. Can't wait for the before and afters on that one. I always wanted to do something like this. It has been alot of fun and hard work, but the house will really be cute when we're done.
