Jenna's Fall Project

Jenna had promised to re-finish some of her sister's furniture. The two are working on a design for Brianna's bedroom. The theme is "Vintage Glamour". I am happy to say that the furniture is done, but now we have to get the room finished. Maybe that will be a mid-winter/summer project.

Here is the concept board for Brianna's room:

Here is what the furniture looked like after:

Dresser (love the hardware which is courtesy of Anthropologie). They turned out great!

Fall Harvest Celebration

We recently decided to have a Fall harvest celebration. We got to enjoy some good food and good company together with family. It was a nice time of reflection for everyone. Grandma Nanny made all of us girls these cute little autumn leaf head wreaths. We had a great time and are looking forward to our celebration for winter!

Conlan Update

Our little man is doing great! He is rocking and rolling, and we are not quite sure where the time is going. He just got on honor roll for school and seems to be liking his new school (well as much as a 7 year old can enjoy school)! He loves, loves, loves soccer and it is no uncommon for him to be outside practicing his skills for most of the afternoon now that the weather is cooler. He is really becoming a well rounded little man. Here are a few pictures of him below!

School picture, love those freckles!

Aislinn Update

Aislinn is becoming quite the big girl. She almost 3, but we have a sneaking suspicion she thinks that she is going on 20. She has become little miss chatterbox and we can listen to her for hours (some words are very clear, others are her Aislinnese). She is so fun to watch and as sweet as can be, but there is plenty of fire too! Here are some pictures of Aisy to enjoy! :)

Here she is looking quite grown up with her hair pulled back!

We had a creative day of painting with the cousins.

And we decided that our body was a pretty good canvas too. We missed the picture of cousin Kyla painting her armpits.



We have been working on making bubbles... still have a ways to go!

Damara Update

Our little Demi is just shy of 1 year and our calm happy baby has now become an active mover and shaker! She is still sweet as can be and for the most part is content (definitely more vocal)! She is crawling all over the floor like a pro, has taken to standing up at the couch or coffee table and is now eating big people food (even without her pearlie whites). Here a few pictures taken of her recently. Enjoy!

She like to stand, but hasn't become brave enough to take steps yet.

Having a little snack. Yay, she can feed herself now!

Still happy baby!

She wants to do it herself and this is usually the end result...what a mess! :)

The Red Shoes

Aislinn has been getting into ballet lately. She wants to watch the old movie "The Red Shoes" every day. Mommy is not arguing. It used to be my favorite movie too, back when I had dreams of becoming a ballerina! :) It has moved onto another generation now and who knows maybe Aisy will try to fill those red shoes someday...Here is a video of her acting out the dance scene with Victoria Page. Notice she has her pink tutu on. A ballet dance would not be complete without a pink frilly tutu. Next stop ballet shoes and then on to dance lessons at the local studio. Fun, fun, fun!

Future NRA Member

Ok, so I won't get into the long debate about weapons here...this is meant to be a fun lighthearted post! With that said Conlan does have a whole artillery of plastic weaponry. From Army to Star Wars, from Nerf to water guns. I have never understood the fascination of play "killing" with toy guns, but then again I am not a boy and who am I to judge! The other day, Conlan was having one of his typical gun fights with imaginary bad guys. He got too close to Damara and she snatched a gun right out of his hands. She was so proud of herself, you can see the sheepish grin below. It was too funny to pass up the kodak moment here! Well, I guess being the youngest you have to fend for yourself, and she did!
