House Update!

House update!

Mason's Room!

 This is where the old door was

 The closet is knocked out, dry-walled and puttied (sp!)

 Kind of dark, but they are getting ready to texture the walls!

 His colors are two shades of Grey.  

This wall was from the previous owners, I thought it was cool, so we left it!  

Willy is also going on this wall.  He's ordered and patiently waiting for April.  ;)  




Maddy's Room


 A before picture of the wall:  
We painted the ceiling pink and gave it a border, but I didn't love it.  
We changed it to a lighter pink on the whole wall.  
 The upstairs ceiling have rounded edges, which made it difficult!  
 The plan as of right now is to make this door a half door and the closet another play area.  
 The baseboards and window trim will be white


Maddy's sheet set!  She has polka dot green curtains to match.  


Channing's room


 Before paint/after texture
 Drawing the road wall.  He did it all free-handed 



 Finishing up!

The other 2 walls are this red color 
The 3rd wall is a closet that covers the whole wall.  


 Channing's bedding.  
I'm going to get a crib sheet to match for now!  
Hoping he stays in his crib for awhile longer.

 Still a work in progress, but coming along!

Christmas in Kansas!

We had a lovely trip back home to Kansas for Christmas.  We battled the weather both to and from, but made it both ways safely!  While we had a great time, we were struck with the sadness of Chris' father passing away.  He was 92 and lived a wonderful life, but will still be greatly missed.  We were thankful that we were driving trip close to Barbara and not a plane ride away.

Christmas pictures!


 I was just trying to get a picture-She was adamant that she needed to make a heart with her hands.  


 Poor Henry spent Christmas "Nut-less" 












 Channing loved his Uncle Jason and thought he could be a bit closer to all of the fun things.


 He loves his baby-sized chair!

 Grandpa helping put together toys. 

 Santa even surprised Chris with a new tool!

 Santa delivered the most sought after toy in our area.  Holy Moly.  She was lucky he found one!
