Olivia and I

Sorry it’s been a while since my last Olivia update.  Enjoy the new batch of photos in the gallery under Olivia Month 6.

Front Door

The front doors arrived and are mostly installed.  The glass on the sidelights is not as big as I expected (see previous post), but they still look Great.  Work was halted due to the tropical storm that was unleashed right after the front of the house was torn off.  Hopefully we will get the trim finished this week.

The inside door was also replaced, this needs some touch up from ripping off the woodwork, but it looks and works so much better than the old one.

Back Door

I also plowed through on finishing up the back door.  Jeff helped out with the electrical and I went to town demolishing everything.  I am done building the Shoe holder that makes use of the crawl space under the kitchen.  Right now it works well for holding tools and keeping them out of my way, hopefully it does the same for all our shoes.

Here is a shot of the new Back door installed with the light we purchased when we bought the house also installed this week.

We finished off Month 4 and started month 5 if you have been waiting for new Photos head over to the Photo Gallery and check them out.  Here is one of my Favorites from this batch.

Since our front door delivery is getting closer I decided it was time to plant a mailbox.  Our new door does not have one of those fancy grind your mail into the welcome mat slots so this is the next best thing.

40 pounds of Gravel, 80 pounds of concrete and some dirt and you too can grow your own US Postmaster approved mailbox.

It’s there I can feel it, but it is really shy so we are unable to photograph it.  Instead I will give you the next best thing a photo of the tooth hiding!  It’s under there I swear.

Olivia was not enjoying the Rice cereal.  Every time we put a spoon full in her mouth she would leave it on the tip of her tongue and stick it out until we scraped it off.  We mixed it with baby apple juice and after a few days of trying she ate the whole thing.  YAY!

Olivia found her feet after weeks of reaching for them.  She’s also got a groovy outfit on that mommy picked out.

Although the Wii fit is pretty cool I still need my fix of blowing people up on Call of Duty 4.  Cardio exercise has always been boring for me so I figured why not spice it up with the Xbox.

I had to earn the new TV first, 1 week in the basement working out, done!  We put the new one up in the living room and I setup the recumbant bike infront of our old TV.  3 Rounds and 40 minutes goes by before I know it.  Soaked with sweat and satisfied of my kill count I can hit the showers.

Olivia’s fist sort of solid food, she wore it well.  More pics in the photo gallery 2008 photos > Olivia Emma > Olivia Month 4.
