Milestone

Tante came over tonight to play with G while we went to parents' night at school.   Brian and Georgia have been working on riding the bike without training wheels and she was making some good progress on the sidewalk.  Tante took her to a parking lot where 2 school friends happened to be riding bikes and she took off!

 Peer pressure...it's a good thing.  Sometimes.  

Back to School (and Back to Blogging)

Georgia started second grade today!
She was definitely more excited than nervous.  

She looked very cute in her new pink top with her skirt (made by me!)
and new shoes, which she loves.  

She chose a cute little necklace with a dog charm and she is quite taken with it.  

I look forward to hearing all about her day when I pick her up!

Happy Birthday Eve!

Meet Kit Kitty

and you know Mary Poppins.

Sick Day Shenanigans

Georgia was home a couple of days this week with a cold and this was the scene. 

Poor Tucker! What a good sport!

Happy Thursday!!

Work In Progress: Painting our bedroom

This morning we started a project for the long weekend: painting our bedroom.

Here are some "before" photos:

We decided to paint the walls Heavy Cream and the ceiling Lagoon, both by Martha Stewart Paints.  So far, we love the results!  We didn't realize how dark the old color was until we saw it next to the cream.  Once we get the ceiling completed (we are getting ready to paint a second coat), Brian will cut in at the top of the wall.  An unorthadox technique, maybe to cut in last but we wanted to finish this weekend.  I honestly don't know what people usually do with painting but this works for us.



I better get upstairs before Brian yells down for me.  More photos later!
