They had an adventure getting here when the Lubbock Airport closed due to blowing snow. They were stranded in Houston for 8 hours and then were routed to Midland, Tx. They spent the night in Midland and then drove to Lubbock, where we met them and then drove to the ranch. Aaron and Jack came after Christmas. Jessica had to stay home with a sick Luke. Everyone missed seeing them.<br /><br />Of course I took tons of picutes. Here are a few of the pictures I took when everyone was here.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2eTBEKLEBn0/Sz_VQ8EA6QI/AAAAAAAAAI0/H3mMcMe_eRs/s1600-h/jack1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

remodeling was the master bath. The original idea was to take out the bathtub, enlarge the room and have a separate shower and a large soaker tub. We got as far as taking out the wall and tile around the tub/shower before we changed our minds. We then rebuilt the wall and put up a temporary tub surround. <br /><br />I have just finished re-tiling the area.
