Accomplished

Mom and I felt quite proud of ourselves once we finished our latest project!

BEFORE:

THE PLAN:

Build the headboard up to add 12 inches to the height (got the idea from here although I didn't follow her instructions); pad it and cover it in this fabric.

IN PROGRESS:

AFTER:

Car Conversation

(Please excuse my frog croak of a voice. It is Spring and we live in East Tennessee. 'Nuff said.)

(Also, for those who don't know, "Nanna" is Dave's Mom and "Pappa" is Dave's Dad.)

SERIOUSLY Cute Baby Alert!

Angela and Jaime welcomed Alejandro Gabriel to their family on February 3, 2010. For those keeping track, this brings Nanna and Pappa's count to two granddaughters and two grandsons!

Dear Uncle Dave

Thanks for my birthday present!

While on the boat, Elena and Julia wanted to use my camera to take pictures.

Sure.

Why not?

A Weekend's Worth Of Photos

The Bouldins Were Here!

Hi! A big welcome back to me! :) We've had sickness and visitors to keep us busy the last few weeks. The visitors were far and away the preferred kind of busyness.

Dave's parents came to stay with us for five days. We had so much fun. The only bad part was the transition back to normal life after they left. I mean, I had to wake up with the kids, fix them meals, clean up AND play with them again!! After being spoiled for five days, that was hard work!

The children, as you can see, had Absolutely No Fun. At. All. :)
