Rigsby Holiday Highlights

Our 20 hour road trip looked like this most of the way (I admit I wasn't the best navigator because I was taking naps pretty often...thank goodness Paul is such a boyscout...that and so is his Garmin Navigator *hehe*)

Look at this little bundle!! Meet our niece and newest member of Jeff, Jessie, & Halley's family; Natalie Faith Rigsby, born on 12/19/08. It was quite an ordeal gettin' her into this world, but mom and baby are doing great!

Paul & the Pups' first snow of the year! Muffin is a little Kangaroo in the white stuff..she loved it!

So this is what it's like when li'l kids open presents on Christmas..I have never seen so many toys in my life!

Paul-of-All-Trades

We can officially add "carpenter" to the list of Paul's talents. A week ago he decided to take on this home-improvement task of converting our dirty carpet to polished hardwood floors and it's finally done...yay! =) Our downstairs area was looking so filthy, and w/ me being in full out nesting mode lately, something had to be done! Of course my (ingenious) hubby came to the rescue w/ this great idea. He's been working so hard on this project and, with the help of Alex & Jason, our home looks much more inviting.

Taking a Pepsi break...am I done yet?:
Ahhhh!! Is that my stove in the living room?!?!

Piece of Cake:

The little helpers (& Paul putting the trim back on the walls):
The helper taking a nap in one of the boxes...what a long day.....
