Upgrade!

With any home, they are never perfect.  Our new home has great space and an amazing location, but some of the interior choices were poor.  It always amazes me what a little paint can do.  The kids bathroom had peach walls with a terrible shower curtain, who knows what kind of vinyl, and hideous white pulls.

I know the shower curtain isn't much better, but the WALLS! And maybe the floors are growing on me but they don't seem nearly as ugly.  They will get replace down the road or when I find that money tree :)

Oh yeah, I changed the pulls too.

The laundry room was the same lovely peach.

Thanks to Pinterest, for some inpiration, it is now a bright aqua.  I still need to change the light out but I don't mind doing the laundry so much anymore.

Family Update

I think Spring is finally here!  We are busy getting settled into our new home.  The kids love having a playroom, Jeremy loves the big 3 car garage and well I love the laudry room, big kitchen and room to run away from the chaos :).  We are meeting all our new neighbors, everyone is really friendly and have created a great community here to raise a family.

We have also been busy with "bucaball" season.  Mason is still obsessed with baseball.  We took him to a Sky Sox game last week and Friday night to Rockies vs Mets.  He cheered the whole game for both teams.  He loved getting to play t-ball in the left field fan zone.  He also discovered his love for Cracker Jacks.

He was so excited to go.  He was decked in all his Mets gear.

Lastly, but certainly not least, Maggie's update.  She had her 6 month doctor's appointment on Friday.  She is a very healthy girl.  She weighed 19 lbs 14oz, 95 percentile and was 28 1/2 inches long, 99 percentile.  She is quite the princess around here.  She can't stand to be left alone and loves to be the center of attention.  Her best friend is Mason.  He can walk in the room and she lights up and starts laughing.  I love riding in the car with them.  I don't know what they do in the backseat but all I hear is laughter from both of them and it is the sweetest thing!  She's a terrible sleeper, still.  She wakes up anywhere from 1 to 3 times a night, but she's a great napper.  I asked the doctor and told me to cut her naps, so we will see.  She is rolling all over the place, and gets in the crawling position, so I'm sure she will take off any day.

Apparently chubby babies snuggle with their bottles.
