2

It's taken me almost a week to finish up this post and to be honest, I took a ridiculous amount of pictures and I can't upload them all so I decided to stop and just post it already:) Anyway, our little princess turned 2 on April 24th!! And she actually had two big celebrations. The weekend before we went to the Greenville Zoo with Steve's mom, sister and her fiance (possibly pictures to come) and the weekend of her birthday, Steve's dad and stepmom came and stayed with us.

We started the day off by getting Audrey a pink doughnut from Dunkin Donuts. We went home for a bit then headed to lunch at Chuck E Cheese. I didn't really know how she would do since we went in February to a friends' party and she hated all the rides. She found the phone that you can talk to Chuck E on and we couldn't pull her away, that's all she wanted to play with. So I just picked her up and put her on a ride, put a token in and it started to move. And she LOVED IT! It would have made for a long couple hours if I had to spend it watching her talk on the phone :) We ate some pizza, met Chuck E personally, then headed home. Big naps followed. We opened presents after that, grilled burgers and had cake. It was a fabulous day! Thanks Grannie and Far Far for making it so special!!

Audrey Lane, I can't even believe you are two already!! I remember the day you came into our lives and they've not been the same since. You bring so much joy to my heart and we thank God each and every day for blessing us with such a beautiful, funny, creative, smart little girl and we pray for many, many more years to come!! We love you sooooooo much!!

Oh wait, now I want it

Wait, maybe not

Done with the den

Our realtor advised us to paint our den to have a better flow from the kitchen to the den. It's actually supposed to be a formal dining room but we're not a very formal family :) We use it as a family room/computer room/play room. Honestly, I'm so tired of painting. But I knew it had to be done. So yesterday I conquered our final task on our to-do list and I have to say, it was worth it. The new paint, Celery Powder from Behr (courtesy of Meg and James, thanks guys!), looks great!! I especially like it at night; it has a very warm glow.

And the question of the day, every day is, "Have you had anymore showings?!" And no, we haven't. Maybe now that all of our projects are finally complete, a buyer will come :)

Oh and we're planning on selling the green arm chair and couch on Craig's List soon. Please let me know if anyone is interested! Make an offer! They aren't the prettiest but man are they comfy!
