Wordless Wednesday: When the Grandparents were Here

Together, Aidan & my dad out together his new space puzzle.

It was nice having them here.

Wordless Wednesday: Out of this World

Wordless Wednesday: Work in Progress

(removing the outdated tile from our bathroom wall)

Hopefully, maybe by Monday, the blue paint will be primed over & painted a nicer color, and our wall panel will be put up. :) It all needs to be done before Pat's graduation party! 

Wordless Wednesday: My TV fix until Fall shows resume

Wordless Wednesday: Living Room Paint Color

The beige wall behind the couch, prepping to paint (hence the sheet over the couch)

My men priming the wall, working hard

BLUE! We have more work to do, as well as the job of hanging things back up on the wall.

But this is the new color. Patrick picked it out. 

I like the color, still feeling out if I like it on that wall.

What do you think?

Wordless Wednesday: Looking Forward To

This should be the year for Aidan to start Boy Scouts (Cub Scouts for1st grade, I believe). 

I am so excited and I really think this could be a great thing. I hope he enjoys it as much as we're anticipating.

And I really hope he sticks with it long enough to become an Eagle Scout. (I'm willing to arrange a bribe for that;).

Wordless Wednesday:My Side of the Family

It happens a few times a decade, at most.

This picture is all of us-my parents, myself, and my 7 siblings. 

We're scattered across 5 different states between us all.

The last time all 8 kids were together, I was pregnant with Aidan!

This picture means a lot to me.

Despite differences we all might have, we are family.

Wordless Wednesday: Us, 6 Years Ago

Me, Aidan & Patrick, May 2004

Wordless Wednesday: Homemade Mothers Day Gift

Aidan made this at school. It's my new favorite decor in our home. :)

Wordless Wednesday: the Newest

Our newborn niece, Mackenzie (isn't she beautiful?)

I got to meet her on Sunday, at one week old. 

Precious newborn!

Wordless Wednesday: Before This

Came the proposal.
And he proposed to me 8 years ago this day.
On a Saturday. Down on one knee.
Our friends close by to celebrate.

And now we're living our happily ever after...

Wordless Wednesday: My Helper
