Well, I've neglected blogging lately. I've been thinking about it, but can't ever get it out or find the time to sit down to update. So, now, as Lance rocks Easton to sleep, I'll blog. I'm not sure what the deal is tonight, perhaps its the 2 1\2 nap that we had this afternoon that's making him wide awake...but we're on our 3rd attempt at 'bed time' now. Lovely. Oh well, our nap was worth it. Snuggling with my lovie on a lazy Saturday afternoon is priceless.
We've had a lot going on around here lately. What started out as a simple request for a seperate freezer in the garage to store breast milk, has led to a complete kitchen renovation. We first decided to get a new refrigerator and put our old one in the garage, then decided on all new appliances (because I curse the dishwasher every time I run it), then we painted the kitchen cabinets black, bought new countertops (that aren't in yet) and tiled the kitchen floor. Shew. Next time I'll keep my requests to myself. Just kidding. Hubs has worked VERY hard on the kitchen and it looks fabulous. Just a few pics of the progress. All that we lack to be done is the countertops and installing the dishwasher.
Oh.my.stars. What a mess. I lived like this for most of 2 weeks.
All the cabinet doors that Lance sanded, painted and distressed.
Bless him.
This was my part. I sanded and painted the cabinets while Lance did the doors.
That's also the new range in the middle of the floor.
I 'had to have it' inside the night we sold our appliances...so there it remained...while we painted.
Ah, new, black distressed cabinets. MUCH.BETTER.
Goodbye, nasty, blue, floral, linolieum. Gross.
HELLO NEW TILE!
The kitchen is all put back together now, for the most part.
I'll save the 'final' pix for after the counters are down.
Oh, the suspense!
Now, for the good stuff....
This little boy is the light of my life.
He is so full of joy.
He is so happy. All the time.
His smile radiates across his entire face.
His eyes twinkle when he smiles.
His eyes twinkle. Period.
He likes you to whisper to him, he thinks its funny.
Once you find his tickle spot, every spot on his body is ticklish (is that a word?)
He has noticed Kirby---and likes to watch her run around.
He has found his feet.
Finally likes laying on his stomach-especially for his late afternoon nap.
He likes to put his whole fist in his mouth (and gag himself in Lowes when you don't have a burp cloth)
He drools all the time.
I never in a million years could have dreamed of loving someone so much.
My heart is so full of love for him its overflowing.
Jesus truly blessed us when he chose us to be Easton's parents.
Bless him.
He's not old enough to know better.
When Daddy's not watching...
We had our first slumber party last weekend.
While Lance tiled all night Friday, we spent the night with Mom, Big Ron & Ali.
As you can see, Easton was totally bored by us- he was out like a light!
He had his first swim last weekend too!
The water was cool and refreshing and he loved it.
After our 'swim' he napped for 2 1\2 hours in his stroller.
Um...Ms. Shelda- could you please take Easton for a swim every day then put his crib outside so he'll nap???
Mmmm....those rolls. LOVE.THEM.
Hopefully now that our house is back to normal and I've gotten the dust off of everything, I'll be back to posting more often. And crafting. Oh to just sit down and crochet something. I'm mastering shoes and hats right now. And a flower here and there for the little girls in my life. There's not enough hours in the day to do all the crafts I've got swirling around in my head.
Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday.
