Taking a Break....






from painting! terry and i finally agreed on a color for our living room and i started painting this morning. i LOVE the color! love love love it! it's called "artist brown" by ralph lauren....it looks like chocolate pudding. i started with the one wall and with terry's influence have started painting the second. i was thinking it might get to be too dark but i think it's going to be ok! it looks good with the cream colored fireplace surround and the cream baseboards....i'll snap a pict. when i'm all done. i have a few other photos to share with you also....just some random shots from yesterday and a layout of lauren...
notice the HUGE bruise on kati's forehead. not to mention there is a matching one on the opposite side. the pictures of kati are from saturday when the 4 of us went to the park and had a picnic. lauren was off playing with some other girls the entire time so i only snapped a few pict of kati.
the first picture is of a project i did about a month ago. i was hoping one of the magazines would want it but no luck so far....i used 2 wooden frames and lots of hardware. 2 hinges are holding the two together & it opens up....the layout of lauren is of her learning to ride her bike. the pictures aren't the best...with lots of distractions in the background but i had to create a page that showcased her riding her bike! ha ha that's kind of a mom thing isn't it! i should probably move on and get our day started. i woke up this morning feeling a little stiff. my shoulders are hurtin'. ha ha have a good day!
ps. i've been thinking about you michelle....she hasn't been around much to keep up with my blog...her mom is fighting cancer and not doing so well right now. so if you do get a chance to read this michelle...know that i'm thinking about you and your family and saying a prayer or two....hugs

Very cute pictures and love the layout of Lauren with her bike! I love the one of Kati and the really big smile swinging! Where did you take the picture of the flower, its very pretty. Is it in your yard? I can't wait to see your living room it sounds really nice, I just love the darker colors, and your house has a lot of great light, so I'm sure its going to look great. Chat with you soon.

Kori,
I have been reading your blog, thanks for the update on Michelle. I can't believe how big your girls have gotten! Have a great day!

OMGosh, look how big Kati looks! I know I say that every time you post a new pic of her, but it's just hard to believe.
