Home Improvement Week

It was not just Holy Week at the Hatton homestead, it was Home Improvement Week as well. Mike took the week off to fix the room on the back of the garage. Most of you have never seen this room, and for good reason, but I'd be proud to show it to you know. First we ripped out the work benches and shelves inside. Our friend Pat Showalter came over to help Mike rip out walls. Here is the room from inside the garage.

Mike added a door for better access and put up the new walls and siding. This is the west wall.

Here the guys are working on the south wall.

This is the on the back porch where they took out some French doors and built a close for our bedroom last fall.

Here are the guys who did all the work. Thanks a million Mike and Pat. There are still two little walls to put siding on (the most complicated of course) but I think they did a great job. Please tell Mike how awesome you think he is, because he is!

Here are some shots of the kids being cute. Becca and Patrick made crowns at story time.

Becca had a chance to dance around the living room like a ballerina and loved it.


Random up-close shot of George.

George has had another bout of ear infections but is doing much better after two doses of medicine. Hopefully these teeth will make their final push soon and give the kid a short break. One little corner can be felt on the gums but no visible sign of teeth yet.
