Snowed in!





We were 'blessed' with a lot of snow Sunday night. We got about 6.5 inches or so! It is a record setting snow fall for this part of Tennessee! We ventured out a couple times but the roads were pretty bad! Not many stores were open and we were glad to get our essential items and head home. We played in the snow a little bit but Aaron kept getting stuck and falling because it was soo deep! He loves to see the snow and touch it! He won't try to eat it tho, every time I put a chunk in his mouth he clenches his lips and won't try it. Its pretty funny!
We have been working on our kitchen. First Andrew had decided we needed a different floor as ours was breaking and wasn't a good kitchen floor. When his parents came for Christmas they brought us some tile type flooring. Andrew worked hard to get up the old flooring, there was also 2 layers of old peel and stick flooring underneath what we had down. It took a while and the floor was VERY sticky after he took it off! He started to glue the new flooring down and because of the smell of the glue Aaron and I went out for a little while. We went to the Habitat for Humanity Restore and I found some kitchen cabinets that were very reasonably priced. I went home ( 2 blocks away!) and got Andrew and we bought a couple of them. After thinking about it that night we decided we would see if they had the other ones still and they did! We got the ones left and then started planning on how we would design our kitchen. After a while of back and forth ideas we figured something out and set out to make it work! It was a lot of work and I am thankful that Andrew knows so much electrical stuff because it has saved us so much! He rewired a lot of things in the kitchen to make it work! We still have a little work left but it is really coming together! Aaron is such a helper through it all. He tries to do everything his Daddy does which makes things a little difficult at times but it is such a joy to have him!
Aaron laughs all day long! He is such a funny boy. He chases the cats around pestering them. He chases Momma around laughing and carrying on! He makes a mess of the house by dumping his toys out all over! He is just hilarious! Love him so much!
