Best Christmas Present Ever!

On December 20th, we recieved the newest addition to our family. Ashton Ivar Howard was born at 2:19 pm weighing in at 7 lbs. 0 oz. and 19 in. long. Both April and Ashton are doing great. Gavin and Olivia were so excited to see him for the first time even though Gavin was a little disappointed that we didn't call him Ridge. Gavin is going to be a great big brother to him and Olivia is trying to help out whenever she can. Her specialty is rounding up all the diaper changing stuff when Ashton needs a diaper change. Well, here are a few pictures of Ashton.

Our Shower Upgrade

So back in July, after a family reunion, we came home to our "new" house to the smell of mildew and mold in our walk in closet. Come to find out that our master shower had leaked the last time we had used it and soked our closet carpet. After some phone calls, pictures, visitors, etc, we finally got the go ahead in October to get it fixed. And two months later, its finally finished. We love the outcome so here are some before and after shots:
