Renovating the house!

It seems so odd to be writing about it without any pictures to show- and Eric and I are doing it exactly the opposite way that we did the Boulevard house- mostly because there's not a lot of demo and what we are working on is mainly painting and (hopefully) tiling.

So two weekends ago, we took out the old yucky living room carpet. It cost us $16 to get rid of it at the dump. This past weekend, we took down all the wallpaper in the boys' rooms and painted Vake's room.

I got an estimate from the plumber to take out the old bathtub upstairs in the boys' bathroom and to put in a normal tub and shower. It is a lot cheaper if we do the demo, so our big project this weekend is to demo the area around the tub! Wheeeeee- I've never really done demo like this so I am a little afraid. But even more than afraid, totally thrilled to be getting rid of the crummy crummy bathtub that feels like a death trap to get the boys in and out.

Happy birthday to V!

What an amazing party and weekend we had! The best news was that daddy got home in time for the birthday celebration- he touched down late Thursday night! Then, Friday night we had another treat- all the Ukrop ladies arrived from the Rva! So so so much fun.

Saturday marked the bounce-house bday party! Whoooo-hoo. We had about 8 of Vake's little buddies there. Magic.






Somehow Gil wound up in a turtleneck and short pants!





Can you believe he's five?

My precious five year old!

How in the world did we get here! It was just yesterday that I was at st. Mary's welcoming this little nugget to the world.

Today, I have an independent soul who knows what he loves.



So cute.


Celebrating the big f-I-v-e! So hard to believe!


What a lucky mom I am!

Defense verdict

One of the primary advantages to practicing in Oregon as opposed to Virginia is that a judge sentences after a jury trial- the best of both worlds. Defended a guy who was accused of kicking a hole in a jail wall while waiting to be booked. Da could not prove intentionality.

I am still getting used to all these new rules.

Eric's best day ever

Could have been today- he found his keys before he threw them out with the recycling and the Seahawks won!

Our biddy ball experience

Look at my little all star- love this little athlete so much. Vake loved running around, he loved putting on the team uniform. Is he a good player? Unfortunately, not so much. But we think he is going to shape up to be fabulous on defense.



Here is my precious team with "coach martin". Ha. Somewhere the universe is laughing at me- if you had asked me if I was going to be a biddy ball coach I would have laughed!
