STEP by STEP

Livi took 7 steps last night. She was so proud of herself and we were cheering for her too. At first she walked to Jackson and that was pretty cool for him. It won't be very long. Since we have been downstairs, she has had so much more to walk around. We will see.

I was just able to catch our little climber in the midst of a mild climb. She was going up and down the box and was giggling the whole time.  

WE had a nice visit today at Great Gandma and Grandpa's. Jackson didn't have school because the it was kindergarten roundup for next years students. We had a very nice day. Savannah and Jackson slept on the way home. I think that Olivia was awake the whole time, but she was quiet most of the time. Mommy was a little tired, too.  

Savannah and Great Grandpa, just before we left. Of course Lilly had to be in the picture too. 

I was trying to get a nice pic and they decided that they were in an "ugly" mood. Silly kids! 

Great Grandpa sang Olivia to sleep, put her right to sleep. (Him too) 

THIS IS IT. IT'S DONE.

WE ARE SO HAPPY TO SAY THAT OUR LOWER LEVEL IS NOW FINISHED. YES, WE HAVE LITTLE THINGS HERE AND THERE, BUT ALL OF THE BIG THINGS ARE DONE. WE HAVE BEEN ENJOYING OUR FIREPLACE AND ALL OF THE EXTRA SPACE. THE THING THE KIDS SEEM TO ENJOY THE MOST-- THE STAIRS. THAT IS THEIR NEW PLAY AREA! HOPE YOU ALL GET A CHANCE TO COME AND RELAX IN OUR NEW ROOM, WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU!! ENJOY THE PHOTOS.

This is the first thing that you see when you walk down our nicely carpeted stairs. Yeah!!!!!! 

Here is my work station minus the shelves that we are going to put up above it.  

The train table is back up finally. The other tv is the PS2 cart and dvd player. The kids like to use that. My messy work area is on the right. I have a lot of organizing to do!  

Here is our tv area, John is reading in our new sofa, that we are still waiting for a cover for. We just love it. 

Just an update

I will be posting new pictures of our downstairs that we have been enjoying so much already, hopefully tomorrow. We are finishing up our cabinets where all of my scrapping stuff and computer will go, today, so we will post some new pictures soon, so keep checking!

There we are with her new Dora doll and th flag that we had to wave for the Pirate Adventure. 

Savannah enjoying Dora the Explorer with mom. We had a great day together, just the two of us. 

Here is happy Livi out in the snow. 

Here they are out with their snowman that mommy helped to make. Olivia was not very happy being outside in her big snowsuit, but that didn't stop her from crawling around looking for me. He (the snowman) didn't last very long, since it was over the warm stretch.
