come on in

After 3 months our house is really feeling like home.

found this danish sideboard on e*bay


another e*bay purchase

and another e*bay purchase!! i have some plans for this little table ...

We have a lot of work yet to do on the upstairs. Our bed was delivered last week and I am in LOVE. Now if I could only pull the rest of our room together. I have the curtains but no pole. Brian still needs a bedside table - currently he's using a step stool. We have some shelves but have yet to put them up. And then there's the kids rooms ... almost there IF only we could make the time to hang up the pictures and the curtains. We'll get there one of these days. In the meantime we are loving the space and loving springtime in London!

the vacay files ... part 3

The last installment of spring break 2010 :) Such gooooood times!! We are slowly getting over the jetlag. Poor Kaneu has really struggled with getting up for school. Thankfully we've had some nice sunny days which helps. We are slowly but surely pulling this house together. I'll try to get some photos posted soon.

this was as close as ruby would get to the astronaut statue in the hotel lobby

the mercury seven

I am now onto planning some weekends away in May. Gotta love the bank holidays!! Has anyone been to western Ireland?? If so I could use some suggestions!

the vacay files ... part 2

We are home and exhausted from traveling ... and so thankful for our incredible time in FL. I feel like the kids grew up so much on this trip. Ruby began serious potty training - even wearing underpants!! Panties? What is the best word for this? I am deliriously exhausted. Will try to post a more coherent update on some of the fun and funny things the kids are up to these days.

frozen coconut mojito ... so refreshing!


day 9 - space shuttle launch

the photos don't really do it justice. hard to get shots in the pitch black at 6:21am!!

The launch was so cool. I am so thankful there was one planned during our vacation and that Kaneu was able to see it. Afterwards we headed back up to our room to sleep a bit more and then we went to the Kennedy*Space*Ctr. More photos tomorrow!!

nightnight!!
