Bye-bye bathtub...

In further efforts to keep our Motma safe upon her return, we will be converting our shower/tub combo to a barrier-free "universal" shower. (Hint: "universal" is code for "handicapped"). Here are the last pictures of Sean in his beloved bathtub. (We might put a tub in our bathroom once the initial improvements have settled down).


It definitely makes me sad to be removing our only bathtub because our little Sean LOVES his bath! He is already struggling with worry about Motma, now we are taking away his relaxing bathtime.

So Much Going On!

On Saturday, January 29th, my mom fell and broke her femur. Although the physical therapists expect her to walk with a walker, we thought a few modifications might make her adjustment smoother. Here are some before and after pictures of her new room.
Before--Notice the door is on the far right and does not line up with the entrance to the hallway.

During--Notice the hallway/bedroom wall is missing.

After--A 60 inch doorway now allows a straight entrance from the enrtyway/hallway into the room. We chose a cheerful yellow color for the walls.

Notable Sean Quotations 2011...

Yesterday while walking to school, Sean said, "My fingernails did not get enough sleep last night." I asked, "How can you tell?"
Sean replied, "Because they're itchy."

Last night at dinner after we said grace, Sean said, "I am not impressed with God for creating germs!" Chris and I both said, "Neither are we." I think God might have gotten a good laugh at that one, I know we did.
