A Few New Additions

Hello to all of our blog readers. We are sorry that it has been awhile since we last posted. We have been super busy showing Claire's parents around and starting back to school.

Addition Number 1:

One of the things that we have been doing is trying to help our new friend Kari (who is Wayne's replacement) settle in. We had Kari over last week to give her the tour of our apartment and to show her how laundry is done. While in the process of showing her, she was telling us about the twin size bed that she has to sleep on. She told us that she was going to buy a new bed for herself that was big enough for her. When she asked the school for help showing her where she could get one, the school offered to buy it for her. So we then devised this plan: we would giveKari our double bed, and since the school was buying a new bed anyway, they could buy a queen size for Claire and I. Well, they went for it, and the next day, Claire and I received our new queen size bed. Yeahhhh a bed that I finally fit on. Here is a picture of the gang trying it out for the first time. Claire wants to let everyone know that we will be putting more pictures of our new bed on the blog once we get some sheets on it and it's all set up.

Addition Number 2:


The second addition comes from a Christmas present that my mom gave me. His name is Hoosier. A little over a week ago I took Hoosier out of the box and put some water in his jar. This picture on the left is what Hoosier looked like about 5 days later. His hair is supposed to continue to grow and then can be styled or cut. The picture of Hoosier on the right is what he looked like 4 days later when we got back from the resort. We couldn't believe how much his hair grew in such a short time. I am sure you will be seeing Hoosier in blog entries to come.



Addition Number 3:


John's new favorite thing, besides Hoosier, of course, is his new basketball hoop that his brother, Joe, gave him for Christmas. It is intended to be

hung on the back of a door, but we didn't have an available door, so John rigged it to stick on the wall above the doorway to the bedrooms. This way, there is plenty of room to shoot, and he'll never run out of trick shots with which to WOW his wife. Woo Hoo!

Comments:
Hoosier slays me! :) I can't wait to see what you can do with his green spikes. I would think we all need to do a google on what types of styles work best on a chia-pet type item like this to help you with ideas. We'll watch to see if you get in a slump.
 
That was a great shot!! And a great idea for a gift!! JOe and Narissa are awesome!!! Woo Hoo!!THe scenery is beautiful in some of those other pics. I really wished that we could have come to see you there!! love- narissa
