Quote of the day

Mindy, this is for you...

After Macy and Sicily's made charming
hot chocolate fountains with their mouths,
my sister Erin gave them
washcloths to clean up the floor...
While on her hands and knees, Erin can hear:
"It's a hard knock life for us, it's a hard knock life for us..."
She has it rough, folks.

Birthday Wishes, birthday kisses

Polly turns 2!!!

We moved into our house on a Saturday...

Polly's birthday party was Monday.

To get the house unpacked

and ready for the party means...

Store bought cake for Polly.

sorry, dear.

If you ask her, the ice cream

was the best part anyway.

Really... ask her.

A new BITE!!

Easter

Hmmm... candy please.

Just in time for church.Which one of these children

loves the spotlight?

Looking snappy in their Easter best.

Almost there

I'll call these "in between" pictures.

More official afters laters.

Macy's favorite room in the house.
Why? you may ask.

It has rose carpet, and it stays!As do mother's formal drapes in the living room.

Thank-you, Mother

Here are some "before pictures".

Mother had very formal taste. I find it charming. Please note the dining room had drapes that PERFECTLY matched the wall paper.

Please know Scott was out of town all week for the wallpaper removal and repainting extravaganza. I couldn't have done it all without some special ladies. Thanks mom, Erin, Holly, Janet, Tiffany and Jessey. Also to dad and John who did all the manly things, like removing doors.

Home Sweet Home

It is finally official!
We own a new home.
Pictures coming...
I promise.
Can't talk now
gotta go rip down some wallpaper!

Quote of the Day

Riding in the car (where our deepest thinking comes from)

Macy: Mom, I was wondering, will all my hopes and dreams come true?

Me: Of Course they will

Me again: What are your hopes and dreams?

Macy: Only that unicorns will one day live on this earth.

We dream big.
