I Freaking Love You

   My Dad took Avery to the Supermall to play yesterday, and they went into the photo booth.  It's pretty funny.

Saturday Night Fever!

      Tonight we gave Harper her second Oreo ever.  She's a big fan.  Sebastian likes to sit in her chair when she's not in it, so it wasn't too surprising when he jumped up on her tray while she was in it.  He got confused and thought the gold fish crackers were some special cat treat.  Once Harper was adjusted to sharing her seat with the cat she used the opportunity to give him lots of special love.  
      Avery spent her time tonight doing puzzles. She has four puzzles that we do pretty much every day.  She is surprisingly good at them too.  I help with the borders, but she can do a lot herself.  That's our amazing Saturday night.  Also on an unrelated note we won't be moving in until the 27th now.  Sigh.








Avery saw the camera out and felt she needed to be photographed as well up close.

The Final House Update

  We have scheduled our move for the 21st of this month, so we our moving come rain or shine.  The wood floor is in, and it looks gorgeous.  All the doors have handles now.  Our filler front doors have been replaced with our real front doors. All the closets are done, the majority of the light fixtures are up, our hardware for all our cabinets are in patiently waiting to be installed, and the carpet will be in on Valentine's Day. 
  Downstairs in the basement we wanted to put a door that closed off the media room from the rest of the rooms for additional privacy and to help block noise.  We couldn't put a traditional door or a pocket door, so we needed to put in something that is called a barn door.  It slides on a track in front of the opening to close it, and to open it slides down its track in front of the wall.  The guy who was building the barn door suggested we make the door a bookcase, so it looks more natural I guess.  We thought that was cool, so now we have a sliding bookcase door. 

The fabled tiger wood finally installed.

Our real front door!

Avery finally pulling her own weight and helping out around the house.

Harper also helped clean by crawling all over the floor and dusting it with her clothes.

This is the hallway we are blocking off with our sliding bookcase door.

This is the bookcase in its closed position.

The Sunday Edition of Avery




   This is what Avery chose to wear to Church today.  She wasn't really into getting her picture taken, and that's why her eyes are resolutely closed.  I love that she wanted to wear her little baby headband that she wore when she was blessed, and yes she wore it through all of Church much to her Sunbeam teacher's delight I'm sure.
