And the winner is....

MAKENNA! She won the band challenge at her school over the break. Thanks to all of you who listened to her play, she couldn't have done it without you! For those of you who don't know about the band challenge, it was a contest for the band students to play 2 songs for as many people over the break as possible. She played for 32 people. She won a bag of M&Ms and a box of colored pencils.

Some Progress

Well, some progress has been made on the wall project. Brad moved the light switches from one wall to the back of the wall. It's a lot harder than it sounds. He has been working on it for few hours.

Not much else going on here. I go back to work on Thursday and Friday after being off for over 2 weeks. Not sure if I am looking forward to that or not.

Not Much Progress

Well, not much progress was made on the "project" today. Basically there was just a lot of standing around and talking when Dad came over tonight. There was talk about where to place outlets and light switches and what sort of wires to run in the wall; and, of course, there was daydreaming about how big of a tv we can hang on the wall when it is finished.

Today was also the first day of school for the girls after Christmas break. They were glad to go back but it was kind of quiet and lonely around the house today without them. At least I was able to get some work done on my online telemetry class.

Check back tomorrow, maybe there will be some progress to report!

Progress

Here's what progress has been made on the wall project:

Brad's New Project

Oh, boy! Brad has started another project. It's winter, and since it is too cold to do things outside he has found a new project to start inside. Tonight he decided to start cutting out a different doorway at the top of the stairs that will open into the hall. Then, he will build a wall where the banister is. He has been talking about doing this for about a year and he decided tonight was the night to start the project.

A Good Day for Pictures

Well, I don't really have much to blog about but thought that I should post something since it looks like more people are checking my blog and I want to keep it updated. So, I decided today would be a good day to take some pictures outside: it was 45 degrees with 25-35mph winds. We watched Skylar today and got some pictures of him, too.

Happy New Year!

Wow! Another year has passed so quickly. We would like to wish all of you a very happy and healthy 2009! Thanks for reading our blog!
