missed the moment

Since our construction is on hold until my contractor is out of the hospital,

here's video of the kids playing at the local mall play area. They are helping each other up on the bridge, but it's very slippery. Kira trys to help Aidan up the slippery side. Of course i stopped recording just before he actually gets up on top. The second video is just after she helped him get on the bridge.



And here's the payoff:





One other of Aidan not quite judging the balance point while trying to help Kira up onto the bridge, although if you look really carefully, Kira is just pulling Aidan down. She then runs away...little stinker!:

The renovation ills

So my contractor came down with pneumonia and was in the hospital for a week. He was making great progress, and now i know why, at the expense of his health.

Either way, before the pause in the construction, we were just starting the painting, and the tiles. Let me say that picking out colors was more arduous than i expected.

Here are a couple pics i took a few weeks ago, after a snow storm.
