Puppy Dog Exhaustion

It's so fun playing ball to the level of exhaustion at the dog park...

Let the nesting begin

We finally got the inside of our house re-painted. It's like a new house, we love it. We were so anxious to get out of here and have everything done that we didn't take good "before" pictures, but here are some that are good enough. Also thrown in this mix is a picture of the start of the babies room. We got the furniture last weekend and Matt had everything assembled and up in record time.

Main Living Area Before:

Main Living Area After:

Kitchen Area Before (with a special appearance by Ashlee and Cheryl years ago!):

Kitchen Area After:

Master Bathroom Before (Hard to tell, but it's blue):

Master Bathroom After (we like the gray/slate color now):

Newly Painted Hallway:

Newly Painted Second Bathroom:

And the newly painted Babies room (starting to come together beginning with the furniture):

For the most part (besides our dining room-which is red, and our bedroom-which is green) every room was yellow or white. So goodbye weird yellow and blinding white, hello warm and nice colors!

And oh yeah...

During the painting week while we were away someone threw a rock through a panel of our front door one night. The less-than-helpful policeman wasn't concerned, wrote it off as property mischief, and said he didn't have time to come inside and investigate anything further. I guess he had to do more important things like hide behind some trees and pull people over for going 5 miles over the speed limit.

New door glass is now at the top of our to-do list...

Really, we're having twins!

Although we're accumulating a lot of ultrasound photos, this is the only one we have of the two of them in the same image. This is from a while back ago when they were only 10 weeks old. Maybe our scanner will start working again soon (it's moody) and we can show you that they really are human babies these days and not blobs.

See How We Grow

We've waited a long time for this...and to announce...We're having TWINS!

A BOY and A GIRL, with an arrival planned for this September. The happiness and gratefulness we feel is overwhelming still. Mario is pretty pumped. It's going to be one BIG, fun summer...!
