I've got a four year old

holy moly times flies, eh? This cute redhead had a birthday last week and I finally bribed convinced him to get a haircut and let me take pictures. I tried sneaking in some 18-month shots of his brother (who is 19 months now...) but he was even harder to convince. dern kids.

I look super poopy but whatevs. I blew out the color enough to pass for acceptable. yeaaaaa!

how does this look for a business card?

well hey there

I'm having a bit of a rough time this morning so I'll leave you with some pictures I took (and destry took) the other day. It was an attempt to get some 18 month shots of Gray but he was feeling grumpy so it didn't pan out too well...

our morning activity

awa-awa-awa! lol

cutie patutie

Lets tour my living room/dining room!

OK! I finally, finally got a rug for my living room. It was dang cheap and huge and turned out just about perfect. Its soft, thin, tough enough for two boys, but cheap enough for me to not have a conniption when they ruin it.


My art table is hidden behind the rocker, you can see my crate/display case poking out...

The mantel. (Carrie, look! I actually used the string I stole from you.) And the view into the dining room.
We are currently working on painting our bedroom and I hope we can build our headboard in the next few weeks. Then I'll give you a tour of that space.

Merry Christmas!

We had a glorious Christmas this past week.  Hope you did too.

The night before, the kids were pretty stoked
 





Then the big day came. Des saw his present from santa



which quickly turned into



You can't win 'em all I suppose. (his day was an emotional roller coaster. When did I get a 12 year old girl for a child??)

Gray loved his gift



so that's good.
Be back in January.
