Another week has flown past....life updates.

For those of you who like such things -these are some of the decorating pieces that I have pulled together for our new bedroom. A chocolaty brown, gold and soft green/blue seem to be the pallet I'm headed into with these thrift store finds from last weekend. I especially like the tasseled paisley winter comforter. Best news is that I am watching sheets, blankets and a summer weight comforter at Target that match and should be marked down soon.



The lighting of summer evenings is particularly soothing and restful right now - regardless of the sounds of neighbors fighting, the heat or the long day that comes before.

Lydia is really enjoying new art materials that I broke down and bought her. She loves anything crafty.


Jerry is learning to eat with a spoon - and already knows how to pose for the camera.

Our two year hunt for the state quarters ended Friday with the donation of Hawaii from one of daddy's work friends.

Big brother loves collecting the quarters, too. Fun!
