Soooo, it's been forever since I've blogged. I'm just going to have to start with Easter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Saturday before Easter we had an Egg Hunt and played some games at a park close by. It was fun and we had beautiful weather the entire weekend! </div>

Easter morning we didn't have to be at church until 1:00 pm, so that gave us plenty of time to hunt for baskets and eat lots of treats!</div>

Just because we had church at 1pm and not 9am like last year doesn't mean that I was ready... of course not! But my girls were all ready on time, so I was able to snap some cute pictures of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I on the other hand, was still in my pj's at the time. So no pictures of me!</div>

This post is mostly for my Mom. Anyone else can put in their two cents, if they would like. HELP! What should I do? Mom gave me this beautiful area rug that was in my great-grandmother's bedroom beside her bed. It's too small to put in the center of the room. But does it look ok just pushed to the side in front of the book shelf? Here's a few different angles... </div>

I like this rug. I hesitate keeping it because it ties me to this bright blue and green and grey. Do I want more colors in a rug so I can change my color scheme easier? We all know how much I love yellow... Will I be happy with this next year, or will I want yellow? Or will yellow in the kitchen and family room be enough? Maybe it will be good to break out of the yellow?</div>

Our New House!<br />

I know this post is way past due! Between moving, kids starting school, unpacking, actually getting internet service (that finally happened about 2 weeks ago), and just life in general... I'm finally blogging again. </div>

So, I haven't taken a picture of the outside yet. I forgot to when we bought it, and right now our lawn desperately needs to be mowed. You'll just have to check back later for a picture of that. These pictures were taken when we put a contract on our home. </div>

My kitchen. I love having stainless steel and I love that it's granite. Although, I would've have picked a granite with more grey/white instead of browns. Oh well, I'll make it work. I've already warned Todd that with our new flooring we're going to need to paint all those cupboards white. I love white kitchens!!</div>

So, since we've moved in, we've ripped most of the carpet out of the downstairs. We replaced the kitchen, music room, dining room, entrance and hallway floors with dark bamboo. It's beautiful!!! Don't worry, I'll be posting pictures soon. This Monday is Columbus Day and Todd and I have plans to paint the music and dining room!</div>

Like December isn't a busy enough month with 2 birthdays and Christmas.... Todd and I decided to renovate!! Our hundred year old home has a third story attic. It's fantastic! When we bought this house with only 3 bedrooms, we definitely had our minds set to finish this story. So here are our before pictures. </div>

I really should've taken pictures before we even started anything. This space was chuck full of storage stuff. Todd worked on knocking down the unused chimney. This is what you saw as soon as you walked up the steps.</div>

Luckily when we bought this home, there was already sub-flooring, heating and airconditioning in the attic. We hired a contractor that framed, dry-walled, taped, mudded, replaced windows, installed carpet and adjusted the heating/air vents just a bit. This is after framing the second day.</div>

Happy Birthday to Meg! I was talking to Todd a few weeks before the big day and mentioned that I wanted to do something special for Meg's Birthday, but couldn't think of a special theme. Since she is girl #6, we've covered just about every pink party theme you can think of. Todd came up with the Itsy Bitsy Spider. Love it! It's Meg's very favorite song right now!</div>

We've noticed for a long time that sometimes her right eye crosses towards her nose. We finally went to an eye doctor that we feel comfortable with and the diagnosis for now is that she's nearsighted. The optometrist explained that crossing eyes are a result of either a focus problem (nearsighted or farsighted) or an eye muscle problem (something you're born with). Because of her past medical history and surgery, there is a possibility that her eye crosses more because of a muscle problem. But an eye surgeon won't look at a patient until glasses are tried out. So here we are, wearing glasses. She'll be wearing these for the next month or so, and then be re-tested and go from there.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She LOVES her glasses (so far). She LOVES that they're pink! When I told her this morning that we were going to go pick up her new, pink glasses, she was soooo excited! She ran into her room after her bath and said, "I want to wear pink to match my new, pink glasses!". She's do darn cute!</div>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822621385733401298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331034745302057064.post-59335458663637769282011-11-09T10:40:00.001-06:002011-11-16T16:51:31.918-06:0011 months!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT2nImVt8l5OpfYvblvBS-8qwius4ZeShE-CUEw4x3xv93VXMcTf9eoblNaSadWEPoK3Jj-m4tRUPBYkKGGLppz0inBLj7mHVp9HciLrici9GDBL_8GJlo7uGdXFE5QTBS-9PqF22E5Xw/s1600/DSCN2389.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT2nImVt8l5OpfYvblvBS-8qwius4ZeShE-CUEw4x3xv93VXMcTf9eoblNaSadWEPoK3Jj-m4tRUPBYkKGGLppz0inBLj7mHVp9HciLrici9GDBL_8GJlo7uGdXFE5QTBS-9PqF22E5Xw/s320/DSCN2389.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Meg was 11 months on the 7th.

Emily is not a birthday cake fan. For her cake she chose a chocolate chocolate chip bundt cake. Can't say that I blame her, I love that much better than birthday cake too!

Liberty Middle School put on 2 one-act plays this fall, Twinderella and Tenderfella. Olivia was the movie director in Tenderfella and then was part of the crew for Twinderella. She had a blast and had such a great time she is planning on trying out for the spring musical. I think she was one of the best actors on stage, but I suppose I'm a little biased!</div>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822621385733401298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331034745302057064.post-20561186419183359572011-10-31T21:37:00.000-05:002012-02-06T12:27:33.913-06:0010 months<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One vendor paid a face paint artist to paint faces for free all weekend. How Fun! She was great and the girls loved it... I think it was worth the wait in line (Remember, you can double click to get a closer look at the paint).</div>

I know these are long overdue, but here they are. Olivia started Middle School this year. Now that is something! She is loving every bit of it. She was surprised that she was one of the only girls to actually wear a dress the first day.....oh Honey, I hope you stay who you are, dress the way you like and don't fall into the "everybody else is doing it" crowd.</div>

I was a little nervous for her to go straight into all day Kindergarten, but she loves it! She's a tad cranky at night, but I hope that a little more time will fix that problem. The thing that surprised her the most about Kindergarten is that your teacher doesn't eat lunch with you! I guess no one ever mentioned that to her...</div>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822621385733401298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331034745302057064.post-4559489010990684822011-09-23T14:23:00.000-05:002012-02-06T12:28:39.274-06:00Back into the swing of things... for now<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Meg is now almost 10 months old (geeze, I can hardly believe it!) and Olivia, Emily, Audrey and Marcella have been in school for over a month. After a crazy summer, I am finally starting to feel like some normalcy is coming back. It's been long over due. I don't think I've felt this way in over a year! I guess that's normal with a move and baby #6 in a year, right?!</div>

Meg has not been the easiest baby. She fusses quite a bit and wants to be held almost all day long. I don't usually mind, because she is our last baby and I'm really soaking it in, but my house is the worse for wear because of it. She is out growing this slowly. Just yesterday, I was in my bedroom folding laundry. Meg was on the bed and I was talking to her as I folded. I left the room to get another load out of the dryer, and while I was gone she started to cry! As soon as I came back and started talking to her again she was happy and smiling once again. Oh no, I'm in for a long journey with this baby girl!</div>

Cutest girl ever! Just wish I could get better lighting so that you all could see that her hair is Auburn. If it stays, it'll be another color for our family!!</div>

Last Friday, Meg went to her first Pediatric Orthopedic surgeon (who specializes in feet) appointment. Dr. Sinclair confirmed that Meg does have vertical talus in her right foot. Vertical talus is similar to club foot but sort of the opposite problem. Club feet are pushed up and to the inside of your leg, vertical talus you foot is down and to the outside. Both problems are treated similarly. The foot is casted to stretch it out and manipulate the bones in the foot to align properly. Since her bones are still cartilage, now is the best time for casting. So on went Meg first cast! They were out of pink, so we went with purple. The plaster is only from the bottom of her knee down, but the fiberglass is all the way up to her hip. They have found that if they don't fiber glass all the way up, babies kick their casts off! She will get a new cast every friday over the next month or so and then her foot will be re-x-rayed to see how the therapy has gone. After that, it sounds like surgery will be next to fix any other problems and lengthen her achilles tendon. </div>

We are praying that the casting will be highly successful! The better the casting the less surgery she will need, although our doctor did stress that they try to do as little surgery as possible.</div>

Meg was pretty crabby that first day, but she's been a real trooper the rest of the time. Unfortunately, it's no more pants for this girl! Tights are much easier to stretch over a cast or just cut the leg out if I need too!!</div>

Sooo, I know my birthday my birthday was in the middle of December.... we were just a little overwhelmed with a new baby AND Christmas. Plus, I don't think Todd took me seriously at first when I told him I wanted counter stools for my kitchen. Aren't they just perfect?!! We ordered these online because no store anywhere carries white saddle seat stools. And I actually got my first shipment the first part of January, but one of the stools had a cracked seat and boogered leg. We just got the last one on the 25th of January.</div>

I love having stools for my island! Whatever did I do before them? They are perfect when we eat in shifts in the morning (that doesn't happen too often, but I can see where it might as girls start middle school), and this is where we eat lunch every day. Sooooo much easier for preparing and cleaning up! The girls love using them to do homework (I don't particularly like books in my kitchen) and they like to sit at them and help/watch me cook. Did I already mention that I love these stools? </div>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04822621385733401298noreply@blogger.com1
