Lisa – the faux master!
After 4 1/2 years of wanting a Tuscan looking kitchen and family room, Lisa finally realized her dream this weekend. Chris’ mom came up on Thursday night and on Friday. Holly and Lisa put on two base coats of a yellowish tan color (”Chamois“). Everyone was involved with painting except Chris (he does the taping/finishing stuff); Lisa, Holly, even Sydney. Lily just looked on wondering what the heck was going on. It was tough work and Chris’ mom really helped out a LOT!
The finish turned out great (closeup 1, 2)!! Lisa is a natural with this stuff. Here’s a picture of the finished kitchen. And a couple of the finished family room (1, 2). A very busy weekend keeping up with Lisa and the kids, but a great end result!!
Happy Birthday Mom, Love Lily
Lily gave her birthday gift to Mom this morning. It turns out she is allergic to the same antibiotics as mom and let her know that by waking up with hives from head to toe, swollen eyelids, and purple hands and feet! A virus she caught from Sydney gave her a nice little fever and sore throat all week. We took her to Prompt Care Thursday evening because she got better then worse which usually means ear infection. The Prompt Care mis-diagnosed her as we found out this morning that she never really had an ear infection. In addition, the antibiotic they gave her (which she has had before) caused a lovely little allergic reaction. The good news – no trouble breathing or anything serious. The bad news – Lily looks like a puff-ball! Check out this picture!
Poor baby! Doctor says she’ll be better in a few days…guess Lily wanted to remind mommy on her birthday that she wants to be just like her mom!
Long overdue update
Helllllo:
It’s been forever since I’ve posted. Believe it or not, although life has been nuts since December, not much has really happened. Lily is almost 11 months old and walking now! She’s also getting into everything!! Sydney also got her hair chopped into a cute bob.
Lisa’s mom came and visited for a weekend. Even though she sounded like death from bronchitis, it was fun having her here.
We had breakfast and pictures with the Easter Bunny last Saturday through State Farm. That was fun!
Michael kicked some serious bootay and bought me Guitar Hero 3 for Wii for my birthday. Here’s he and I jamming.
I’m also working on a new stained glass project for Michael’s in-laws. Hopefully I can get it finished in the next couple weeks.
That’s about it for now. As always this time of year, I’m wishing I was hangin’ with the homies in Austin at SXSW.
