Yikes, I really can't post to this blog EVERY day, it's taking more time than eBay, haha!!

BUT, I did take a a few pics of our latest home modification project, so I wanted to share it with you.
This pic shows how the front of our house used to be. A small step up to the stoop, then a BIG step up into the door. Not good for wheelchair access!!!!!!!!! (Sarah loves this pic of her daddy, she says he looks goofy.)



These pics show how we fixed that problem. My poor picture window looks all lopsided since we had to remove one side of it for this project. It's gonna get worse when we take the other side out, and only have the middle left. But hopefully it'll look okay once we get the new siding up!!
Yeah, I know my old van is leaking something out the front, but hubby knows what it is and is going fix that soon. Add it to the list!!!!!!


We're adding on to Bobby's room while we're at it, and we'll eventually have a little front porch, all in due time.

And, since we talked about it on Spina Bifida Central, here's the pic of Sarah and the Optimist Clubs of Hopewell and Colonial Heights who bought and had her wheelchair lift installed for us. You can't tell what it is, but she made them a Thank You Poster. God Bless Them!!!! By the way, my Daddy is a Proud member of the Hopewell Optimist Club, and has been since I was a little girl. (And no, we didn't get this lift because of his influence. I wrote to the Colonial Heights Optimist Club and they offered to help. When they found out about my dad, they contacted Hopewell and asked them to help also.) I can tell you they do WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL things for Kids!!

That little fella on the left is now my 6'4" baby boy Bobby!

Yay, I finally figured out my scanner, so after I work on eBay some today, I'll scan pics and post more.

~Bye for now~
