We decided to make a built-in bookshelf in the landing of our upstairs stairway that could house all of our books currently in the basement. It was pretty much wasted space. Rodger has never done this before but he did a great job. The deal was he would build it and I would paint it. It took a couple months of weekends to finish it all.
Ary on a slide that we eventually took back because it was too small. We found a great deal on a larger used one on Craig's list but I thought the picture was cute.
April 2009 - It was still chilly. Ary was just learning how to walk. She didn't even have shoes yet.
Ary and Daddy - June 09
"I see Tucker in the window!" - June 09
Grandma and Ary watching Backyardagains - June 09
Amy and Ary - June 09 - Ary has finally figured out how to put the shapes in really quickly
June 09
Gideon and Tucker - June 09 - It's rare to even catch Gideon on camera since he's so shy.
"I love you Tucker!" - Ary thinks Tucker is so funny. Even when he's just sitting there she laughs at him. - June 09
We put a cat door in between the ground floor and the basement so that the cats could go in and out but Ary couldn't. She likes to peek down there and occationally we will find toys and even her bottle. Now I sometimes hear "Ahhhh - Ohhh" when things are "accidentally" dropped.
June 09 - Breakfast
June 09 - Can you tell I love my sandbox?
Inside my tunnel
