We have had a great afternoon with Avery and Isabelle. We colored, had naps, had dinner, went for a walk, played outside with Max, took baths, and read stories. These cousins are now sound asleep!! Its really fun to see Avery watching everything Isabelle does. Thanks to Amy for letting us love on Ibelle for a sleep-over. 

Super Model

Well, after much staleness, finally a new post. We are almost done installing the bamboo floor (just a small spot at the base of the stairs left to do). It is really beautiful! We're learning a lot on this project!! New windows for the living room will be installed next week. We have a little trim work and touch up painting to do and then we're done the construction process. Its a really big transformation from the stained country blue carpet, ceiling tiles, dark trim, crooked bookshelf room that it was (and for the mom's who walked through when we bought it - remember the hanging chandelier?). And of course, we must have a well dressed model in the photo for a sense of scale.

Old and New

OLD-Avery is sporting an antique shirt that his dad wore as a tot. NEW- Avery now has his 'A' hung in his room. He is newly obsessed with trucks. He loves this truck - the handle makes it really easy to push around (non-stop with truck sounds of course). He now points at EVERY truck on the highway and says "See, See, Truck". We never realized just how many trucks are on the road.
