I can't believe it, but we started!

This was around 7 Pm last night.



This was before 11 PM last night.
1st coat of primer DONE!

I am so excited Josh forced me into starting this long journey of painting our home.
I know I will be ecstatic when it is all done. I love it already!!
It is so clean and refreshing.
One room of hideous walls GONE!!

YEAH FOR US!

A few things to pray about!

On Wednesday Ethan goes for another follow-up for his eyes. If they aren't better than last time, he will be getting a patch on his good eye. I am kind of ok with this because all of the research I have done says it works so much faster than glasses in correcting his lazy eye. But I know I will start crying because as a mommy we all know how hard it is to see our babes "look funny". So pray with me that Ethan's sight has improved. He has been keeping his glasses on so much better than last time I updated you all, so that is a good thing! I will let you know the outcome.

On Thursday my mom will be having surgery. So keep her in your prayers that everything goes well!

Talk to you all soon!!

color scheme and inspiration

As many of you heard we will soon be painting our home. If you have ever been to our home you would understand the excitement behind this=) So here is a picture of our color scheme (missing 1 color swatch, but it is another brown) and the inspirational pieces behind it. Thanks to a very talented, wonderful friend for ALL the help! Big party at our house when it is finished=)

Yesterday

Merci

As you can see Merci lost another tooth (#3). She looks so cute=) Can't wait for the other to fall out! I think it's funny, but she doesn't!

Ethan

Yes! That is Ethan's blanket in the bath tub with him. Almost every day we have the same schedule. Eat lunch, take nap, wake up and hop in the shower with mommy, when mommy is done Ethan gets a bath so mommy can get ready. Well for some reason he was really opposed to this idea today. HE LOVES the bath, but today he was screaming and crying and asking for his "night night" (his blanket). Well after trying to explain to him that blankey can't take baths, I gave in. I set him out of the shower to go fetch his "night night". He ran to get it and the crying stopped. Needless to say he didn't have his favorite "night night" for bedtime! I was annoyed, but we made a memory! And that is all that matters!

I couldn't dodge the tag forever!

Thanks Ang for tagging me, I guess. Well it will give me something to do anyway.
