Thanks Kohler

When we bought our house in Oklahoma it came with a nice kitchen faucet. I'm not that into faucets myself but it was nice- brushed metal. It has two spray patterns and the end can be pulled out and has a hose that stays connected. Recently a little rubber covering over the spray pattern button came off and so I started looking online for tips on fixing it. One thing I found out is that this faucet costs about $800. Wow. So I really don't want to be broken. Because I will never be able to replace it.

A few days ago I called Kohler's number to see how to fix it, since I couldn't get it back in. They asked a few questions then told me they were Fedexing a new faucet head out to me. I asked how much that would cost and they happily said it has a lifetime warranty and that everything was done at no cost. Wow- I guess they factor in parts into the initial price. :)

So it came today and I was worried about putting it on since it has the hose and everything. And I am no plumber. But included was an extremely easy list of instructions that amount to: hold the hose to keep it from slipping away and unscrew the old head. Screw on the new one. All done.

Wow.

Me and Mag by Grant

A few days after she was born I held Maggie for the fourth time. This time once even while standing. She was heavy for a 7 pound baby. I was nervous. She was cute. At the time I write this she is almost 3 weeks old. I like being a big big big brother. Because I know I am well, the oldest. I like how amazing it is that she already has brown hair and is already smiling. Here are some of the pictures.

Avatar Legos

For those of you who didn't know and missed it, Avatar: the Last Airbender is one of the best animated shows ever. We did not watch it on TV or anything. I think when I saw references to it I just ignored it and didn't give it another thought. Back when I bought anything on iTunes (coming up on a year), Avatar was one of the first 'kid' shows available. We got a few and they were fun. Then the video rental store down the street has free kids movies you can borrow and some were Avatar. I had no reason to say no and saw bits and snatches that made me realize that while it was a cartoon, it had a very developed storyline. There were silly things and lots of fun, but there was a real plot here with complex characters. Luckily, even Missy liked it! She will deny that of course. So we had fun watching it together as a family, all of us laughing and saying the intro voiceover with Katara. It was great. By the beginning of the third season on DVD we were all on the edge of our seats. We'd watch one and the kids would say 'just one more?' and we would cave. We got to the last DVD and couldn't find it to rent anywhere so we bought it. You should see it. Watch it in order.







Anyway, the other day Grant came up with some truly great Avatar figures he created out of Legos. They're awesome!

A few random pictures

Before Megan was born I had a few people ask if I wanted a baby shower. Unfortunately I've got that whole party phobia thing going and had to refuse. Also, as baby girl #3, we pretty much have everything we need. However, the day before I went into the hospital we had a stream of visitors all day long bearing gifts. By the end of the day the kids we really getting into seeing what would appear on our doorstep next. Was it an organized non-shower baby shower? Or just a whole lotta really nice people who had the same idea at the same time? I may never know. But I did feel really loved and impressed by the generosity and kindness of the great people of our ward.
Everybody love Grandma!
