And the (hall) walls come tumbling down...

MLK day project: widening the hallway. We're breaking through the wall between the den and the hallway - adding a door, opening space, installing (at the end) floor-to-ceiling bookcases. Monkey, Roo, and I assisted HF with the demo for the first couple hours and found some fun "treasures" hidden in the walls.
HF and Roo find a crushed beer can and money in the walls during demo
Before, during, and after

The great outdoors: woods wandering, ax-chopping, etc

January stuff


40th birthday party of a childhood friend of mine in DC
We got a new computer (for the kids)
Our first snow day… with 1/4 inch of snow. Roo's teeny snowman

Roo's dental work

In early January Roo needed a moral extracted and a cap put on a decayed tooth… and a filling. UGH! She had a 45-minute session and nitrous gas and did an amazing job. (Monkey now calls her "metal tooth" as a nickname, not exactly to her liking. But it is apt…)
Now we are on mechanical toothbrushes for 2 minutes each and rigorous nightly flossing...
