We are starting to get things back in place in our house from painting. It will probably take a while to decide where to hang our pictures. This week we purchased a nice mirror to put over our fireplace. We still have many things planned that will have to wait until after the baby comes. We eventually will replace the tile around the fireplace and put a tile back splash in our kitchen. At that time we will hopefully be able to get new counter tops too. Soon we would like to find a kitchen table that fits our bay window well, and get two chairs to go in our bay opposite of our couch. Kyle's mom knows how to upholster furniture so for fun we would like to build our chairs this winter. We'll have to see how it turns out. The wall color looks a bit too green in this picture.
Yesterday we got this car for Ethan at a garage sale. He has been having so much fun with it. It kept him busy all morning. He has seen ones like this before and wanted to play with them so badly. It really has been 5 bucks well spent.
We went to a farmer's market yesterday morning and couldn't resist picking up a few cobs of corn (since we didn't grow any). Ethan loved his corn so much that he had to suck on all of our leftover cobs when we were finished. He also wanted to sit on the big chairs with us. He seems to not like sitting in his highchair anymore. We'll have to keep our eyes open for a booster seat. He also no longer lets us spoon feed him. He is a little messy still, but it is nice to be able to give him a bowl of yogurt or applesauce and let him feed himself.
We've been trying to get more organized in our house lately (thanks to Jen's nesting instincts probably). In doing so we brought the baby car seat up to help us get prepared for our little friend. Shortly after bring it up, we found Ethan sitting in it an playing. (Yes, he is playing with a fairy wand, which is NOT a regular occurrance we assure you).
This week our little babe is just under 3 pounds (like a cabbage) and approx. 15.7 inches long. Jen starts seeing the doctor every two weeks now. It is hard to believe that we are this far into it.

The new paint looks so nice. I bet it feels good to have that done. I'm with you, Jen, on the organizing kick. I need to do that and I'm not even having a baby! Things get crazy after summer and it would be nice to get everything in its place again. And I can't believe you're already seeing the doc every 2 weeks. So exciting!!!
Your house looks great! And Ethan is looking so big and handsome! I can't wait to see what your little girl will look like!
Yeah, the color looks beautiful, I already love it. It will be exciting to come down this week and see it in person. And what a deal on that little car for Ethan, we do love garage sales even though we have not been all summer. Next year I am sure we will start hitting them again.
You did such a great job with painting and decorating! And good luck with the next few projects!
I really like that new color of paint, and everything looks great!
