Updates

So we've lived in our home for almost two weeks, and my type-A personality couldn't help but unpack every box after one week. There's still nothing on the walls, but I'm trying to remember that's normal. Here are some pics of what we've done so far...

The foyer no longer has wallpaper, but the bowling ball light still hangs with pride.
Our dining room doesn't have furniture yet, but I love the pop of color, since I'm normally a neutral-lover.
New carpet and a fresh coat of paint made the hallway so much cleaner.
Guest bath got rid of the concrete style painted walls. Thanks for painting babe!
Thanks to grandpa and uncle Kevin, Silas has a great, grey room
A neutral nursery that Silas seems to love.
It will be so fun when he actually reads those books
He can't sleep unless he's swaddled up, but after his 2 month vaccines he was out!
Still have to finish painting the master, but our bed fits just right!
The entrance to our bathroom... our major renovation...
We added a water closet. That doorway didn't exist a month ago. Now we just need to paint.
Can't wait to put on the glass door to our new shower!
I've never had such nice counter-tops and sinks in my life.
Besides some curtains, our guest room is ready for guests
Oh except for our winter clothes still not unpacked. But at least they're not boxes.
We busted down two walls to open up our family room
Now you can see the sunroom from the kitchen too
Besides our beautiful fridge and rolling island, the kitchen remains untouched.
The great original bones of our wonderful home
What do you think about the updates Silas?
"I could live anywhere!"

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
