old to new.

a $2 chair purchased from an estate sale at work.

some primer, paint, and new fabric.

ta-da.

a cute new chair.

spring time sun.

an impromptu beach day.

some fun in the sun.

just what we've been craving.

thanks mom.

what do you do when all of your children have lice.

the laundry is out of contol.

the house needs to be sanitized for the 10th time.

and.

you're about at your witts end?

you call the woman who can pull it all together,

and keep you from going insane.

...

...

...

thanks mom.

kisses to you.

kiss.kiss.kiss.

girly sweet.

a sweet idea for ella and her friends...

a necklace.

made from gumballs.

and of course...one for little sister too.

the many faces of sammy.

new do.

with the recent lice infestation,

we decided to take precautions.

with a new do for ryan.

although this picture shows me cutting his hair,

most of it was done by paul.

i'd say paul did a pretty good job!

he's home.

after days and days of prayer.

hundreds of care packages.

and.

a few new wrinkles from worrying....

he's finally home!

what a sigh of relief.

welcome home, john.

see you in march!

happy friday.
