Bigger 'n Better

Back in the summer of 2006, Brian had some "down time" before medical school, and this is what he thought up and then created...

After some more thinking, he added a bright, yellow toy to his other toy...

...and then, due to certain events (ie. Hurricane Ike), his toys were washed away. But we kept the slide, sanatized and cleaned it up, then saved it for another day.

Although I wouldn't call it "down time," B has made time to think about and create the bigger 'n better bed...

Eventually he will have a ladder, a desk underneath, and possibly a swing. But we're all pretty happy with bunk-bed number 2.

B has found an amazing talent and hobby in wood-working. Many of you saw his ping-pong guns he made for Christmas (all 50+ of them:). This is what he made me for my birthday, which I absolutely LOVE. It's a children's desk with benches, and the hearts are so cute...

It also inspired me to pull out my wood-working skills (with B's help). I missed my stool my Daddy made me (also lost in Hurricane Ike), so based off of his pattern, I came up with this pattern...

...and together they are such a fun masterpiece:
