December 2011 Recap

In December, we bought our first home and moved into it--right before Christmas. There were a lot of repairs we had to schedule (or complete ourselves) at the last minute in order for our short sale to close, not to mention Brandon working retail during the busiest shopping season of the year and traveling out of state for the holidays made this month THE craziest month our family has experienced in a long time. I am SO glad this time in our lives is safely behind us. 

Needless to say, we didn't take a lot of pictures of this time, but here

 are some of our house when it was staged to sell from the online ad: 

 Family room

 Master bedroom

 Kitchen

 Upstairs bathroom

 Front room

 Front room/great room, open into kitchen and dining

 Back yard

The great hair-cutting escapade of December '11

Dec 1, 2011

Scott ran in, his "zeeeeh-zerz" hidden behind his back.

"Mommy, you cut Caleb's hair," he said, disapprovingly. Scott's been on a bit of a lying kick lately (imagination development, or so the experts call it), and I could guess the real culprit behind the hair-cutting.

You can kinda see how Scott only cut Caleb's curls on one side. I evened it out.

And now Caleb looks altogether too grown-up for his own good. And Scott is grounded from scissors.
