Railing Almost Done

I primed and painted the oak railing for the upstairs. We've had that railing for many years (approximately 10 years); it was leftover from a project in Massachusetts.  I'm glad we finally got to use it.

Our First Big Snow

We finally got some good snow this winter! The girls are loving it. I think Atenas might be having flashbacks of when we lived in Massachusetts and snow was a guarantee.

COSI- Columbus OH

As our last family activity of the year, we headed to Columbus, OH to visit COSI (Center of Science and Industry). The girls really enjoyed the exhibitions where most of the stuff was hands on.

Taqueria Los Guachos

Yesterday before going to COSI we made a slight detour to northern Columbus to visit a Mexican taco restaurant. They are famous for their tacos al pastor and we were not disappointed.

New Year's Eve Dinner

Last night after COSI we went over to our neighbors' for dinner and games. We had homemade pizza which the girls helped Miss Susie put together. So much fun!

Mirrors are up!

While the Carters were here,, we asked Brian for help. He helped Cameron move furniture, install the vanity mirrors and cut  and install Ana's closet door. The vanity mirrors look great!

Carters' Visit

Our friends, the Carter's, flew over for a short visit. We went to Carillon Park, the Air Force Museum and Boonshoft Museum. The kids blew off energy by  going to the park, riding bikes and climbing  trees. Drew and Ella are really sweet kids and we really enjoyed spending time with all of them.
