Such a Big Girl!

Last week, Emily and Nelson went on a date to celebrate Emily staying dry in her panties at night for almost a whole two weeks! She is doing so great with potty-training and we're so happy to have her out of pull-ups at night! What a big girl!! :)

She picked out the dress (Judy -- do you recognize this?). It's a flower-girl dress that I wore in Dave & Judy's wedding and she just LOVES it! And you can barely see it, but she has about 20 barrettes in her hair too --- she was quite the sight!! :)

New & Improved Dining Room

While my mom was here for Christmas, we painted the dining room. If you remember, it was chocolate on top and cream on the bottom. It was nice, but you couldn't see the trim or moldings. So, I found this great table runner and designed the room around it. We used the matching placemats as the cornice and added the mirror on the long wall. I still have some more to do (shelving for my seafoam pottery that looks AMAZING with this wall color, and some paintings to hang), but I'm super-pleased with the end result!! :)
