New blog!

I've started a new blog for the baby. See it here.

Painting!

We spent all day Saturday painting. The nursery and the living room are almost done - just need to cut-in at the ceiling line. And Jon's TV has remained paint-free through it all! Woohoo!!! I knew I would be unable to lift it again in my present condition, so we wrapped the heck out of it with plastic. And it has survived beautifully.

Thank goodness!

I've posted a few pics and will post more once they're done. Hopefully this week after Jon's work week when he's able to finish painting. I'm not allowed on the ladder, which I'm fine with. I get freaked out on the second rung.

We LOVE the colors. Can't wait til it's done! Here's the living room.

Milk Chocolate

The red room is no more!! It took two coats of primer and a very patient Jon, but it is all gone. And the color about to go on?? Milk Chocolate! Seems as though we're getting the unborn baby off to a good start in this family of chocaholics.




Here is Jon starting the monstrous project.
And he's done!!!! At last!!!

Coming May 2008

This about says it all....

Mom, Crocs, and Cows

Mom visited!!!!!! We had such a fun time with her, and it was so great just to hang out. The overall purpose of her visit was to get her expert opinion on paint color and a few design things. But that became kind of secondary, of course, once she got here. We managed to run her pretty ragged since I wanted to make sure to we didn't forget to do something!

She did exert her influence in one major area - we are now Croc people!!!! She bought us each a pair and she left us an extra pair that didn't fit her very well. I need to take a picture of our new footwear. I will post soon!

One of the things we almost forgot to do while she was here was go to Southlake Town Center. I knew she would love it there because there are several painted cows scattered about. We hit Nestle Tollhouse (dessert first!!!), then Barnes and Noble, then Cheesecake Factory. On our way out, we found a parking spot and walked around to the various cows and took some fun pics.

I can't express how great it was to have her here, especially during such a memorable time that's going on for Jon and I. I truly can't wait for her to come back for another visit!!! And all the rest of ya'll too!!!! Get on down here!!!!
