Remembering December 2008

These pictures were taken in the afternoon on December 21, 2008, to prove it really does snow in Tacoma. They make me think of quiet family evenings reading Farmer Boy, shoving for the best spot over the dining room heater vent, endless intertube rides behind "Old Nellie", violent games of Spoons, early morning "wisdom searches", bottle rockets, snow forts, snowball fights, & a great family...

It's Beginning to Look Like a HOME!

Today is a monumental day... our last meal on "the card table". For five months now we've been dining on a card table. Well not any more. We found a beautiful dining set on Craigslist and Andrew picked it up today. Thankfully, our home will never be the same. Here are the pictures to prove it:


Before

& even more before

But not any more....



AFTER

Ahhhh!
