SO LONG, SUCKA!

I bought this little James Avery birthstone ring for my niece, my goddaughter, as a gift for her baptism. I know it won't fit her for a long time, but I hope she comes to love it when she's old enough to wear jewelry!

This church is a couple doors down from my internship center in Dallas.  Every time I pass it, I hear the theme song from The Office.

Mmmmm....my girl's first minor league baseball game. Taught her early that cotton candy is a must have at the game. She was not, however, thrilled about the peanuts that I kept tossing to (well, at) her Poppa who is sitting on the other side of her.

My Dad's sister, whom we lost to Leukemia 
14 years ago this June.
We miss you, Aunt Ann.

Ben and his Baba made "one thousand pancakes."  Aren't they cute? 
 

Close-up on the pancakes...

Laura - Part II










This is the before and after shot of the former kitchen turned into master bath, and "office" turned new kitchen. We divided the old kitchen (which was way too small) in half, made half a master bath, and half a mudroom/laundry room. The laundry room is functional but not finished yet. Then we moved the kitchen into a room we didn't quite know what to do with. It was the perfect move!

It is so therapeutic to see how far we've come!

I mentioned that we're rehabing a historic house, right? Its been about two years since we took possession and we're still working at it. We're ALMOST done...almost. I just need another two weeks of Daddy time in the house and this shit will be almost over!

Just for fun: Before and after shots of the living room mantle that I SLAVED over and refinished. I guess the finished walls in the living room and the lack of dust and debris help out the look too! I'll post a few more before and after shots of other rooms I worked on later.
