Papa came to visit last Sunday on his way out to NY

 

New dining room light

Here is a before and after of our new dining room light (model included). Ikea special. I was proud of myself. I had to cut a new hole in the ceiling and rewire it. Never done that before. I just glad I didn't fall throught the ceiling when I was crawling in the attic.


 

New dishwasher

Tristan- our dishwasher broke this week, too. It cleaned the dishes just fine, but Nicky didn't like having to put a bucket in the basement every time we turned it on, she can be very picky sometimes. So we had to replace it right away. I think we lost our dishwashing ability because we just couldnt bring ourselves to hand wash. Natalie got the best part of the deal as you can see.
 

Our Little "Peanut Butter"

Audrey is in te 105th percentile for her weight... and her smile. She even out did Natalie who was in the 95th percentile at this age. I have been calling her my little peanut, and Natalie heard me and started calling her "Peanut Butter", so now we affectionately refer to her as our Little Peanut Butter.

Nicky and Audrey on Nicky's Birthday

 

Nicky's birthday

Well, I celebrated my 29th birthday on Sunday...my golden birthday. (We had to shut the kitchen door to keep the smoke alarm from going off from the mini bonfire you see here). Thank you for all the nice birthday greetings from everyone. My favorite one, however, was from Ashley who told me I haven't aged the last five years. When you have the big 3-0 knocking on your door, you need to hear these things!
