All I Want for My Birthday is a Shower!

I know, two things surprised you.

1: I haven't showered since last June...2009 last June

2: All I want for my birthday is a SHOWER!

Okay, so number 1 isn't technically true...we did have a makeshift shower down in the basement (a hose + a fireman's nozzle + curtains = shower ), but near November, it got too cold (like hair freezing), so we moved our things back upstairs and started using the tub again.

For those of you who either don't remember or haven't visited us since we bought our home in June 2009, we didn't start out with a shower. In fact, we started out with goop in the pipes, a toilet next to the tub (as in, your feet into the tub close), and a rotted hole in the sink.

Yucky isn't it?

Look now!

Okay, so I am never putting glass block in AGAIN...EVER! But, it doesn't look too shabby. :)
We're almost finished with the floor now, just a few minor cuts and we're pretty pleased. My brother, Seth, came down for a visit this week and he's been rotating between cutting tile, mixing mortor, carrying block, to changing diapers and initiating naptime. :)

It's been a full week already!

What do you think?

Gracelynn is a big eater...
Kwinn (9.5 mo) is Gracelynn's next door neighbor and playmate. :)
They just LOVE playing together. It's sweet to watch them interact.
Gracelynn tries to do everything Kwinn does...I'm afraid that's why she started rolling over early, and crawling early, and STANDING early! AH!

Sweeties, aren't they?

Hard to believe Gracelynn will be 7mo old this Friday. It goes so fast!

We got a surprise visit from G'pa and G'ma Wohlenhaus last week.
G'pa fed her a bottle and tried to buy her very first ice cream cone.
Nope.
But she did have her first bite! Lol...I know. Bad!!!

Better go!
We're all taking a much needed tiling break and watching the old "Karate Kid" series for fun. Haha. Check out the new one! We loved it!

Love to you all,
the kelleys
(and Seth)
