more hogan photos

hogan so kindly has taken his own pictures of our progress. once again he has captured our adventures from such a great perspective - from the eyes of our children. he's also taken the pictures that we've missed. you know, we adults miss so much in our business of busy ness. oh, i'm so thankful for our children. we would miss out on so much of life without them!

mark has worked on quite a bit of our household electrical. hogan made me a special message one day as he was helping dad.

these are the best before and after shots! hogan just added all these pictures to our computer file this week. it was so fun finding that he got these.

we almost completely lost record of this aspect of our construction adventures.
able became a mobile baby and also became aware of what happens when you touch the wood stove. he is our first child to experience a burn from the wood stove. we needed to keep him safe from his own curiousity and all the mess and dust and dirt of destructo, so we trapped him in the pack and play for a couple of weeks while his blisters were healing. amazingly, the hand injury did not phase him at all. he was happy here, but he was not such an amiable boy with his adventuring getting cut off.

i know we showed photos of our island already, but i thought this was funny that hogan was taking a picture at the same time as mark.

hogan got a much better picture of our new mud room paint, trim, and super fun letters!
and he's the first one to take pictures of the pretty new painted walls in the front room.

and of course hogan did a great job capturing the handsome features of my favorite man.
