Handymen

I mentioned in my last post that Jake was remodeling our basement shower. It was having some issues so he decided to take on the project and did an awesome job! With some help from both of our dads, he tore out the old walls, fixed the problems, added some insulation and installed new drywall and showerboard. While it still needs a few finishing touches, it looks great!

After

Dax joined Jake on one of his trips to get supplies at Home Depot and they ran into one of the store's free kids' workshops. It was a lucky coincidence because Dax had so much fun making some Christmas stakes to display in our yard. He was a skillful craftsman hammering nails, using wood glue, and adding stickers to complete the job. As a bonus, Santa was visiting the store so Dax got to see the big guy before our official visit. He did not want to sit on his lap this time, but was conversational and we hope that will improve our chances of a cute photo next weekend!
