New Decor!

So take a look at our new home! I love the colors and the way everything is fitting together. It feels cozy and warm - not so sterile. Joel found the mirror at Tuesday Morning marked down from $275 to less than $50! It fits the room perfectly. I "weeded" out some of the bird houses, actually alot of them so I think it's less cluttered. Dad has more room to navigate now with less furniture in the dining area and with the new arrangement of the living room. I took a picture of the living room from the upstairs window but realized the fan was covered in dust and really distracted from the "new" look, so we'll have to try that again later. Anyway I wanted to share our new look. Thank you Joel for the hard work! and Amy too for containing the kids upstairs while he painted. It was a big undertaking with 7 people under one roof - but I love the finished product!

Grandpa Dunn's birthday today

Thought you might like to know to day is grandpa Dunn's birthday. If you have time I'm sure he'd appreciate a telephone call - 843-513-9275 or 937-471-6703. I believe it is his 79th.

it's been too long...

It has been a while since we have updated so I thought I would put a couple pictures from the past few weeks. Noah went skiing for the first time over the break! I guess I should clarify, Noah put on skiis for the first time. He did great for being so restricted with all that gear. He loved the lift and although I couldnt see his face I could hear the excitement all the way down. We also finally got some real pictures from Noah's gymnastic classes. Somehow we manage to forget the camera every time. It has been fun to see him feel more comfortable running and jumping and doing his front roll. It has been a good experience for him to start "organized" sports and it has made naps easier for him on those days!! The last picture is one of Noah's big presents this Christmas from Erin's grandparents. An RC firetruck with a moving ladder that even shoots water. I think every surface in the house has met this firetruck upclose ...

Erin has been feeling fine as far as pregnancy goes and Hudson seems to be very healthy and active. She has picked up some extra hours lately to help pay some bills. The cabinet shop is nearly four pay checks behind right now and although he's good for the money we are having to being creative until it comes in. The Lord is providing as always and Erin and I are taking the challenges together.
