The Great RV Make-Over - Back at it!
January 10, 2008 –

Although we’re sitting around waiting for Baby Wilson #8 to show up, I’ve been struck by the fact that we have to hit the road in a couple months. There’s still a bunch of stuff to do on the RV before we cast off.

Just to bring you up to speed, here are a few pictures of the reupholstered couches, the dinette, and some cabinets that I built myself (don’t look too closely).




Now I have to install them…but I have to add a few seatbelts first.

Back to the grindstone,
Todd

PS – Here are two photos of our side yard – one taken on New Year’s Day (Winter Wonderland) and the other one week later (water world).

    Hide those Winter Wonderland pictures. Some one may use them for Global Warming verification.

    I’m a pretty good mom, except when I’m not!

    Yo buddy- It’s me- the boo-booed brain childrens minister here in Hobbs, New Mexico who is so grateful for your calendar. Everytime I look @ it in the living room I think of you and yours. You truly are a blessing for thiscrackpotclownforChrist

    Them seats are looking good! I’m impressed! Wow… so a guy can actually reupholster something himself, then? Who knew? :-)

    Looking forward to seeing you at the FPEA convention in May.

    Looks great, but then I’m so old I can’t see very well any more. For the record, I can verify that Todd is indeed a pretty good dad (except when he isn’t). It’s probably all those great parenting techniques his father told me he used on Todd.

    Congrats on the remodeling progress. I admire those with such skills or at least the courage to attack these projects. We also pray for all to go well with baby #8 and for your wife to come through it all just GREAT! You are a blessing and an inspiration!

    As any father of a large family knows, when the baby comes, Mama is having ‘contraptions’. Birthing is a dilateful experience. May you and your wife be blessed with a wonderful birth!

    Congrats on the new baby (since he/she is already wonderfully made). I can’t imagine having 8 children. My wife (who thinks she is pregnant again) and I have our hands full with 1 21 month old beautiful girl. I’m hoping for a boy (since I didn’t grow up with a brother), but I’ll be okay with another girl (that is, if my wife is actually pregnant).

    Hey all you warriors, I have news of great joy to share also. Our fifth arrow was born two days ago, 8lbs 11oz. He is our fifth boy and we can’t wait till spring for a hike with him. Keep up the encouragement.
