It's a puzzle

I love doing puzzles. I get a little obsessed when I get started on one, however. It's just like reading a good book, I don't want to stop until it is finished. * On a strange side note, say the word puzzle several times and it really starts to sound weird. See?? You tried it didn't you?

Snow day!

It doesn't take much to call a snow day here in the Pacific Northwest. But this is an honest-to-goodness-real-snow day! Ron's office even called a snow day. Usually we have "fake snow". Which is snow that falls and melts faster than you can say "snow flake". But not this time!
Ron and I even went out and played in it and made snow angels.
My snow angel...
....Rons snow angel

Let there be light!

Yay! We finally changed the light fixture in the bonus room. Although it's not the most flattering of lighting, at least we can now see up there! A big ol' thank you to my man for installing that little bugger. Mister, you are magnificent!
NEW LIGHT......
....OLD LIGHT
HANDSOME HUBBY INSTALLING NEW LIGHT FIXTURE. When he rolls up his shirt sleeves...exposing his forearms...Mmm Mmm Mmm! I love that look on him!

Grandbaby # 15 is here!

Emmet William Bang came into this world yesterday morning. We are so happy to have you here little one!

Snow!

This is what we woke up to this morning. The culdesac from our bedroom window. Just glad it wasn't snowing last night when we drove home from the Temple...'cause people up here get a little cray-zee when it snows!

Paradise

I swiped this from my step-daughter's blog. Thanks Erin! I love it and I think you might also if you are a fan of Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson or Alex Boye. Enjoy!

More of God's artwork

This was the view out my bedroom window last night. It was taken with my cheapy phone camera so this picture doesn't do it justice, but the Puget Sound was fuchsia and the clouds were a bright pink. It was beautiful! Unfortunately, there is a glare from my bedroom light....but it was quite a sight!
