This is a blog for our family and friends.

Well, I'm sorry that we haven't blogged in a long time. I'm especially sorry to Becky
who got us starting on the blog and made us promise we would blog. Well, here's the
newest update. We are now in an empty house! The movers came, packed the whole

house and took it to be shipped to Italy.
So, since we are sitting in an empty house with nothing what so ever to do, mom decided that we needed to varnish all the wood in the house. It has proven to be a very difficult task. Luckily for us, we have loving relitives like our Grandma Wilson and Aunt Elaine who offered to come up and help us. Since they've been her they have not only been vernishing, but have done the cooking and cleaning our cabinates for us until they shone. They've been so wonderful.
If you've ever seen our house, you know that we have a very high roof in our living room. In order to reach it we had to borrow scaffolding from our wonderful friends the Watts.
When Paul saw the huge jungle jim in our living roomyou could see him devising a plan to get to the top of that towere. He couldn't climb it because he wasn't tall enough to climb it by himself.
He's so cute! So we got to work. We sanded, we painted, we sanded some more, we painted some more, and now we're still sanding and painting!
It was fun to be so high up there!

We had to have the proper breathing gear so that we didn't breath in sawdust. So that's what the wierd white things are around our necks.

Grandma couldn't resist. She had to see what it was like up there.
The scaffolding was sixteen feet off the ground!


Aunt Elaine and Grandma were awesome sanders and painters. Thank you guys so much!

We have some bad news. Today an unnamed person was carrying Paul down the
stairs when they took a spill. Paul's leg was squished and we ended up having to take him to the emergency room. They're not sure if he has a broken leg or not, but the doctors put a cast on him just in case. Paul is getting lots of attention here and home and despite his leg he his very happy.


Last is a little video that I found very funny. I hope you enjoy seeing me leap off the giant scaffolding onto the ground. I have recovered and am not dead any more, but thanks for asking.
See you next time!

Okay, so first we want to say that you guys must be VERY bored to have taken on all of the wood surfaces in a wooden house! But, I am sure that it will be beautiful when it is done.

Now, the second issue, Jessie you are NUTS! We watched this over and over and couldn't stop laughing. Thank you for the close-up of the carpet, that way we will be able to recognize the perm imprint on your face, next time we see you!

Love Aunt Amy, Jasmine, Danielle and Samantha

Thank you for the Blog update! You guys are awesome! The pictures are great! I am soo sorry that Paul got hurt. But to the unnamed person....don't feel too bad. I do recall a story told by your mom where she was little and holding one of her younger siblings. I believe that there was a call for Ice cream and someone ended up in a cast. Ask her about it. She can probably give the better details. (Or Grandma Wilson may be able to as well).
Jess, all I can say is you are funny and that you and Paul are just alike!
Love you guys!
Becky (and Uncle Jeff, Aunt Emily, Mary & Hans, EJ, Trish, Shelle, Bonnie, and Kalee).
