more of the kids

i finally have time to put up some more pics of the kids. they love the house, especially the downstairs playroom:) right now, it's painted a basic white, which is the perfect canvas for the mario room jacob and i have planned:) each wall will be a different level from mario bros. wii- catering completely to our kids' imaginations. they love mario so much and often pretend to be the characters that we thought it would be fun to have a room that was all imagination and creativity:)

this occupied him for a really long time:)

first time on the swings!

first haircut! sammy didn't care- he just wanted to sit in the thomas train

it kept beeping and confusing sammy

new home

wow, it's been an entire month since i last posted! things have been pretty crazy since my last post...we moved into our first house! the kids have adjusted beautifully- audrey and jack now have their own rooms- we survived all minor reno work- new carpet throughout and wood floors installed in the main hallway and kitchen- and nana ou came to visit! we had a pretty intense week before she came out, but we managed to get completely unpacked and decorated the house- curtains, pictures, the whole shebang. it definitely helped that i had everything sketched, drafted, and planned before we moved- down to where the pictures would go:) anyway, here's some pics of the kids in the place!

they found a roly poly

the window sill is a great place to sit
