I have friends who like to refer to us as “machines.” Some times this is very true, because there are seriously weekends that we just don’t stop. It’s one project after the other, or non-stop plans. Occasionally we’ll throw in a weekend of laziness, but this past weekend was any thing but. Friday night after [...]

I think we’ve been to Lowes four times in the last week (and will probably make our 5th trip there tonight for a couple quick things). Lucky for us a new Lowes just opened up a couple miles from our house, so that definitely helps when we’re working on projects like we have been here [...]

Oh, the bathroom. It sure did need some lovin’ and a little color. The tile guy rocked it out with the floors, and I’m not too shabby with a paint brush (even though it could use a few touch-ups here and there). So here’s what the basement bathroom looked like before. Cold, boring, yellow walls, [...]

I don’t wanna brag, but our basement is pretty sweet. It’s full of awesome trim, details, shelving and is exactly what I’d want a whole house to look like if we ever built one from scratch. And as charming as it looked, even with its cold, concrete floors… it was time for an upgrade. The [...]

We started out the weekend with a bluegrass concert on Friday and a lot of work around here at the house on Saturday… Doug was doing most of the work, though. I was busy entertaining the monkey. And that’s work too I guess, but there weren’t any power tools involved. Thank goodness for a handy [...]

Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there…. especially to Doug and our own dads. We were lucky enough to see both of our dads this week, and at the moment, Doug and Bruce are actually out playing golf (aka: sweating profusely). Meanwhile us girls are going to go enjoy the pool. So before [...]

If you’ve seen Ada lately, you’ve probably heard her version of the “ABC’s,” since she does it all the time. Sort of. She gets that the song starts with A and B…. but the other letters will just have to wait. She usually sings “A, B…. A, B…. A, B…” for a little while, then [...]

Forgot to upload these particular photos at the time, so I’m catching up now.
A few weeks ago my friend Tessa was in town (she doesn’t live right up the road any more, sigh), so we got the kiddos together for the first time in months. Always cool to see the kids together and how much [...]

Ada’s been saying this a lot lately. She’ll pull out a toy or hand us some thing random and say “Whaziss?” Translation: What’s this? Pretty cute! And even though it’s not really related, here’s the pretty, little lady yesterday in her newest dress by Amy. Love that sweet face…

Why does it feel like the worst part of Summer already? It’s not even officially Summer yet!! I can normally deal with the heat, but man, this past week has been brutal. And it’s the one thing that can really make me feel nauseous, so I’m not a fan of this humid mess right now. [...]
