Fun Project before all you know what broke loose!!

So before we destroyed KA's bathroom and I destroyed my arm, KA & I painted with shaving cream. I even found neon colors.
(sidenote: bathroom is about 90% done & usable...pictures one day)

See this hole...apparently I did't

So we took out the subfloor of the bathroom and last night we demoed the bathtub and I went in to help take out pieces of the bathtub and even though Jared reminded me that the floor was gone I fell through and caught myself with a floor joist under my right arm. I immediately heard the sound of something pop. We headed to the emergency room and I have broken my arm above my elbow. So I have 6 weeks of healing and certainly debilitated in virtually all of my tasks that require two arms. Yuck!

A Week Minus One

Kati Ann is spending the week in Texas with GrandAnn & Bob Bob and while she is there we decided to take the opportunity to remodel her bathroom. We spent the day yesterday doing demo which took a long time (longer than I had hoped). The bathtub isn't coming out until tonight but here are some pictures of our work from yesterday. Jared did most of it but I was the one that made the bizzilion trips out to the trash pile with debris. I'll keep you posted on the progress throughout the week.

Thanksgiving Fun

We made a whirlwind trip to TX where we were able to visit almost all of our family and boy, did Kati Ann have a blast especially with both of her grandfathers. She had so much fun playing with her Poppa in Carthage and she even got to ride a tractor with her "Bob Bob" in Bryan. We were really glad we made the effort to drive all the way to Texas and all over once we were there because we really enjoyed seeing our family. Here are a few pictures to confirm our fun!

Thanks J.Crew

The J. Crew catalog was in our mailbox the other day and as I looked through it I realized that it would be fun for Kati Ann and I to dress a stick figure. We talked about what each piece of clothing was and where they went. I then let her glue the pieces of clothes on our little man. (I helped too) As a girl after my own heart her favorite were the shoes. She can pick out shoes anywhere. She often walks up to people and bends down touches their shoes and says "Shoes!" We even put silly eyes on our dressed man. That was fun!

Our first child

Especially for our friends that have known us before we had Kati Ann you may be wondering about our first child. We seldom talk about her anymore but our Bailey is still as sweet as ever. She is so patient with Kati Ann especially since Kati An loves to say "Bailey, NO!!" and chase her around the house. We're trying to work on "Good Dog, Bailey" It is taking a little work but one day maybe! Bailey is getting a little gray around the eyes but we're so blessed with such a precious family animals included.

First School Craft

Kati Ann brought home her first craft project from school a little over a week ago (I'm a little behind) and as her mother I was thoroughly impressed. Not because she could put stickers on a paper but because of where she put them. Her teachers just handed her the stickers and she got to choose where they went. It looks like the leaves where we live. A few on the trees, a few falling and most on the ground. I am very proud!
