Funny things that the kids say

While eating lunch and Catherine dropped food on the floor, Thomas decided he was the authority on it.

Thomas: Pick that up Cakin.
Catherine: NO
Thomas:Pick that up, yes sir?

Thomisms

sheets: sheeps "My sheeps are so soft, Mommy."

covers: cubbers "I don't want cubbers."

On your mark, get set, go: "Hark, Sek, Go!"

Catherine-ism

Little miss "I want to do everything all by myself"

I do it: "I doo bit."

Rebuilding on Tomahawk

My parents are rebuilding in the same spot where a tornado ripped their old house to shreds last April. Look here and here for photos.

My parents have been living here, but should be in their new home in 6-months, I would guess.

If you are looking at the new house, this is the right side... with the garage towards the front of the house and the deck in the back.



Here are a few shots of the front and other side of the house:




I love the brick detail over the garage.



This is the deck and sunroom (with four big windows.) There is also going to be a lower deck built on.

Thomas' blue haircut

He loves having his hair cut now! We allow him to get a fun spike and some temporary blue hair that he thinks is so cool!

Love Birds Christmas Style

It feels good to dress up and get out of the house. Joe and I attended the physician's Christmas party for Murfreesboro Medical Clinic this week. We are skipping the rest of his work parties due to his call schedule this year.
