To celebrate 15 years of living here, we decided to remodel & redecorate instead of moving to a new house.  So here are the final results of all our efforts!

Emily's bedroom....new wall paint, new curtains, new carpet, new color scheme...

Master Bathroom....Lighthouse picture painted by our dear friend, Gloria, age 90.

Front Bathroom....more grown up, no more fish theme!

New shelves in the front room

New wall hangings in the entry way

Family room....new flooring, new wall paint, new rug

Looking into the kitchen/dining room...

Kitchen....new painted pantry doors (no more orange), new wall paint....

Dining Room....new sliding glass door, new wall paint....

The Funny Things Kids Do.....

When Jeremy was a baby, he made noises when he ate.  I loved it!  I'd sit him in his high chair & begin fixing his food.  Immediately, he would start twisting his hands & feet & begin making his "hm, hm, hm" sounds.

SOOO cute!

When Emily was 4 or 5, she began the ever-typical female infatuation with horses.  She would gallop around the house on all-fours, whinny-ing like a horse.  She sounded pretty good!  Her hands & feet became calloused from galloping on the carpet so much.

SOOO cute!

Today at preschool, one of my 3 year olds gave me a hug in the hallway.  I love hugs from my kiddos!  As he nestled his cute little face into my neck, I thought "Wow. Your nose is sure cold."  Only...it wasn't his nose.  This little 3 year old fart was licking my neck... like a lollipop!

Soooo NOT cute.
