Hard Work


After taking of the old paint which was done like a Spanish style texture, the work to smooth out the walls
began. Before we took the paint off ourselves by scraping it off, we had had some experts come in. They told us that
because of what had been done to the walls by the previous owners, part of the walls on the inside walls would need to
be replaced. It actually looked like the walls of a mudd house.
Well, we decided to try to scrape it off ourselves, and most of it came off easily. Which meant that no
replacement of the inside walls was needed.
That was a couple grant extra in our pockets.

We were so lucky to get help from some great people which saved us time and loads of money!

Pre-birthday bash on the 4th of July!

As fireworks went off it was impossible for Arend to sleep so everybody
decided eventually they wanted some cake and they all gathered around our birthday boy
A little bit sleepy and dazed little Arend was wondering what
all these people were doing
All though way off key everyone sang "Happy Birthday"
He didn't realize yet it was his special day but as we all know that
won't last for long..............

My 2nd bath tub


Nowadays they make these baby bath tubs which you place in the regular big tub! This is safe and soft. Not
too many worries about slipping and sliding. When mommy brought this home I had to have a bit of fun in it first.
Mommy dragged and pushed me around in it for a while and I had a blast.

I got a hold of the phone. Catch me if you can. I like to hear the sounds by pressing all the buttons.
I even managed to play old messages that were on the answering machine. By the way do not give me a toy
phone. I have no interest in that at all. See ya later!

attention, so Opa Ed put me in a box. I found that pretty funny and interesting. See you at the new house!

not be locked up in my little "cage"!
