Christian and his Legos

This is an example of what I see nearly daily.

I only have the heart to make him do a total clean-up about once a month.  That floor has to be clean sometimes ya know! LOL

Those tubs do still have more Legos

More Legos...

This is a jail compound

Introducing... Silas Jude ... My new nephew

My mom holding her new grandson.

Silas Jude; 21"; 11#3 oz.  Yes, ELEVEN POUNDS and THREE OUNCES!!!!

Just look at the rolls on this baby!!

 Look at his little fat dimpled fingers!!!

It's a good thing I made a 2nd hat for the baby (their dog ate the first one I made.)  Get this...  The hospital hat was too small!!!!!  Seriously, he can't wear the hospital hat.  But, the one I made fits nicely. LOL

Proud mama

Just look at those chubby thighs!  And that belly!  And the double chin and cheeks!!!

He's soooo cute!! :)

Christian's first fencing tournament

Christian is wearing two black socks and white gymshoes that have black tips on the toes.  He was super nervous!  I'm pretty sure all the other kids (high schoolers) are on school club teams... remember Christian is a 7th grader and just started fencing a few months ago (Sept or Oct?)...  The adults have been there for years for the most part.  So, he got 17th out of 17... but he didn't care :)  He did come cose to being 16th tho!  The first video was an elimination round.  The 2nd video was the first 1/2 of his final.  They took a break 1/2 way through, so that's why I only got the first 1/2.  The eliminations were whoever makes it to 5 points first; I think he did 6 of those.  The final was to 15 points.  He did make it to 13 points before the other person got 15.  Wow, what a long ordeal!  It was supposed to start at noon but got started 15min late.  We walked out about 3pm.

The day after the blizzard

The 3rd step is completely gone!  You can barely see the 2nd.

Wow, the camera sure took a good picture of the screen! LOL

But, you can see how high the snow is next to Christian.

Our back-door slab with the garbage toters.  I just thought this looked funny!

Snow, and lots of drifting!

Tom has off work today because the garbage routes can't be driven.  No trucks out, no mechanics needed. LOL  Actually, they called him off for today yesterday before he left.  We'll see about tomorrow...

Anyway, this is what things look like here right now:

There are THREE steps here!

This is the A/C unit.  It's actually very large!

Tom over snowblowing the neighbor's drive.  That picnic table is up on a raised earth mound in the yard, so the rest of the yard is actually deep, but the picnic table being raised is misleading.

Our drive/sidewalk.
