Home Tour
Standing in the front hall looking in (Cadence shouldn't be on the tile, but I guess she was sneaking around while I was taking pictures)The family room (please don't be overwhelmed by the "peachy" color - I've picked out a gorgeous "gold/green" and as soon as I get the mouldings primed I'll be ready to paint)
Family room and front door
This space is "supposed" to be the family room, but we've made it into our dining area (I've always wanted a fireplace in my kitchen!). We switched out the ceiling fan for the dining room fixture and will be painting the walls a gold color (and getting window treatments).
Here's the kitchen sink area with a pretty bay window looking into the sideyard:
How Low Can You Go???
How low can you go??? I can't believe it - our crib can go NO lower! We just had to lower Luke's crib AS LOW AS POSSIBLE as we were afraid that he was going to literally jump out of it :) I can remember this time last year stressing over moving him from the pack-and-play in our room into his own crib and now it's already at it's lowest position! I'm extremely grateful that he loves to be in his crib and I think it's for two main reasons... 1) he gets to jump 2) he gets to have his paci. See for yourself:
Show me your belly!
We've been working with Luke on identifying his body parts (i.e. "where's Luke's nose", etc.) and as of right now the only part he has down is his belly :)

Two Things
Get a red envelope
President Barack Obama
"This envelope represents one child who died in abortion.
Put it in the mail and send it, go to the website and register how many you sent. They're trying to get 50 million red envelopes sent, one for every child who died before having a a chance to live. Maybe it will change the heart of the president, our senators, and/or our representatives.

Remember when???
We had the event at the Heard Science and Nature Center which has this GORGEOUS space (lots of windows, a great deck, etc.) and the best part is that they have this GIANT projection screen. I "raided" the students' Facebook pages and pulled off about 600 pictures and then had the slideshow play throughout the dance - 'cause when you're in Junior High nothing is more fun than looking at pictures of yourself :)
I still can't believe that the Semi-Formal has already come and gone! For me this always signals the end of the year and it's crazy to think that it's only 5 weeks away! Here comes Summer!!!
Livin' on a Prayer
If you watch the video closely (in the lower left corner) you'll get insight into the crazy antics of Junior High boys hyped up on LOTS of caffeine... don't you wish you taught 7th and 8th grades? hehehe

New Videos
Here are a couple of new videos of Luke...
Here he is eating scrambled eggs for the first time (with ketchup, of course):
And this is what I see everytime I go get him from a nap:

Untitled
We've been up to our eyeballs in yardwork. The previous owners did not take the best of care of the lawn and gardens and we've been weeding and raking for a week straight (and have filled about 25 of those giant lawn bags). Luke has also been helping - if you call throwing books out of the wagon, picking leaves off the bushes and being an overall distraction helping) :)
