Thank you D...

...for spilling stain all over the carpet while I was in Utah.

Now I have a beautiful new banister and in a week, I'll have beautiful new carpet in my house.

Every time C walks by (which is often) she says, "Oh my goodness, what did Dawan do? He bake a mig mess!"

It's called stain for a reason.

At least the banister (not quite finished) looks nice.

Home, Sweet Home

We spent just over three weeks in Utah with our families and rolled back into town at about 11:30 am yesterday after 18 hours in the car. The kids did really well until about 15 minutes from home. Meltdown city! But, I could hardly blame them. More posts and pictures to come.

Have you ever visited the website awkwardfamilyphotos.com? It's one of my favorite sites. Check out today's beauty:

Who takes (let alone buys) a picture like this anyway?

Melissa is a Miracle Worker

We finally got C's hair cut on Tuesday. I think it looks so good, considering what we had to work with. She reminds me of Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music.

She didn't want her picture taken so I had to fool her using the zoom, hence the fuzziness.

She looks so chic with her new 'do and Dora shades.


Here it is from the back.

Thanks again, Melissa!
