We FINALLY made it to the orthodontist this week after years of waiting until Aden was old enough.... and of course we found out what we already suspected... Aden will be getting a full set of braces, including night time head gear, in January. Poor guy, he's not too happy about it, despite his beaming smile in this photo...
Ah, to be a teenager again...




Applying the second of three coats of primer needed to cover the black paint the previous owners put there.




More painting progress, this was the room that was black. It's a very large room and took 3 coats of primer to cover the black. 
I LOVE the creamy white I've chosen in here, it looks strangely green in the photo but not at ALL in real life. It's a lovely sandy color, nice and neutral for the younger boys with all their bright colored, blues, greens, and natural wood furniture. One more coat and this room is ready to move in to!




The dog pee room remodel continues ...

The walls are "Gentle Clarity" from Fresh and Lively.
It's lighter than I expected, but it's growing on me and making me really happy. I also look forward to how it looks once the room is furnished.




"Kale, big bro, steps in to teach Sam all about having a birthday. Including what to do with the mysterious wrapped boxes".




the pear fairy dropped by my place

I came home to a big box of these delicious organic pears, an envelope chock full of every kind of pear recipe clipped from books and mags that date back decades, and some print outs of some fun songs, and a cool Christmas craft magazine left on my doorstep. I guess after all the birthday hub-bub, I'll be canning, and baking, and preserving... good thing Sam is on a major pear kick right now.

Thanks Daph!

I'm sure they see us coming when we approach the library now. Sam's favorite place to create chaos these days, all that space, all those books... the pee room When we moved in to this house one of the first things we discovered was that one of the main bedrooms, with carpet, has a stench of dog pee or/and body odor (this was the previous owner's gym room). We're now in the process of removing flooring and replacing or refinishing current hardwood floor underneath.   The room will also be painted but I'm still choosing colors...   This is Sam and I. Sam is breastfeeding. Those are my legs. This is Sam and I moments before the end of the hammock snapped, and we both were sent plummeting to the ground. My back felt it. Sam did not. Sam was breastfeeding. He didn't even notice we fell. :) Sam checks out the new place A first shot in the new house. My camera batteried died just after taking this and I haven't been able to find my recharger since we moved, so this...

15 weeks! Finally finished painting the livingroom, and what a difference it makes. All four walls were originally dark grey, making you feel more like you were in a tomb, than a cozy livingroom. Now we're just waiting for our splurge at Ikea to arrive later this week from the mainland and we'll be all set to hunker down nice and comfy for the winter. I'm so excited! We've never had real furniture before! 7 am. coloring in a very cold van at the ferry terminal.
