Kitchen Painting

Before - blue plaid wallpaper, yellow cabinets.

After - Cream Walls and Cabinets and healthy "whole wheat" walls and all new hardware in brushed nickel. These colors really improve the look of the tile on the floor, it no longer looks yellow.

Baby Boy M.

I had another sonogram today to determine baby boy's size. He is about 5 lbs, 7 oz as of today. Here are some cute pictures of him - a profile and one of his tiny toes.

Calvin's friends taking turns telling him what they think is special about him. Some of the answers were: "You are a good drawer" "You are good at sharing" and "You are nice."
