Joshua's Room

So I realize I had forgotten to post a photo of Joshua's room. Here it is.

VOTE FOR ME!!!!

So I have entered some photos in the CAPTURE ARKANSAS contest. The Arkansas Democrat Gazette is looking for the best photos of Arkansas to be put in a full-color, hard-bound, coffee-table book. My friend Pat, suggested I submit some of our photos. So I have, and you can go and vote for the ones you like!! Just click on the link to the right that shows a little photo montage, or you can click here:

CAPTURE ARKANSAS.

Here are some of the pics I have entered.

The Road to Rennovation

First, I just had one last photo of our baby birds. This actually was the last day they were in the nest. They were gone the next morning. IT went so fast!! We found their eggs on June 29. The next day they had hatched. This photo was taken on July 12. Crazy how quickly the process of getting out on their own is for baby birds!!! Thankfully we have a little more time with our little one!!!

So we have done a few things to the house that warrant some after photos! We still have a long way to go, but at least we are on that long and winding road, right?

Living room, with the newly upholstered couch! It didn' turn out too badly, if I do say so myself. It is funny how that little thing changed the living room so much! I have since made a roman shade for the living room window.

The hallway with our lovely bare cement floors!

Dining area with the built in shelves. We are going to paint the cabinetry white.

Master bedroom.

We have not painted the bathroom yet. (Yes even the bathroom has paneling!)

Summer Days

So the baby birds are growing like crazy! It is so much fun to be able to photograph them so freely. The mama bird does not seem to be very fearful at all.

Taking a break from the yard work.

Loving the swing.

I am the king of my castle!

Nice rug burn on the nose! He fell at Mother's day out, skidding across the carpet on his face. Poor baby!!

Our little friend Elmo's got himself a new ride!!

He is a laughing Elmo and giggles when you squeeze him, so he giggled when he got crammed into the Beemer!
