Audrey!

Congratulations Audrey, we love you and are so proud of all of your hard work!

Saying goodbye to an old friend. Of sorts.

A few weeks ago we finally did it. We said goodbye to the playhouse loft bed. 

The girls were getting tired of it and so was I. It had become a pain to make the bed and to keep the playhouse part clean. Also, the girls are getting bigger *sniff*sniff* and weren't really utilizing the playhouse aspect of it at all. So down it went. We ordered the girls a daybed with a trundle and so far it is working out pretty well. It takes up much less room and isn't quite so daunting when you walk in the room. It's been kind of slow going getting their room in shape due in large part to well..me. The chemo has been really wearing on me lately so there have been many days I just cannot physically do anything. That kills me. I'm super impatient and when I want to start a project I want to start and finish it right away. Not so this time. I'm hoping that in a few weeks I can share some pictures of the change. Nothing super fancy of course, but just a few tweaks here and there that make a good bit of difference. 

Ring a ding ding!

It's official. I am done with chemotherapy, rang the bell, and got the certificate. I am done!

Next up, surgery!

Twelve

 I can't believe it's been twelve years since I brought this sweet girl home from the hospital. 

Happy birthday Kylie, I hope that you have an amazing year!

Eight is great!

Guess who has a birthday today?

My baby turns 8 today! I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by. We celebrated yesterday with all of the family. Well, all of the family minus dad who had to work unfortunately. My parents made Sophie a massive dollhouse for her American Girl dolls. 

As you can tell by the big grin on her face she loves it! The only problem is that it takes up so much room in her bedroom. I am going to have to reconfigure things in there, which is fine because I was getting tired of the way her room looks anyway. So stay tuned, hopefully we'll have some fun bedroom projects coming up!

Throwback Thursday

A few days ago I was looking through my old photobucket account (remember photobucket?) and came across some old pictures of the girls that just made me laugh. I thought I would share one that ultimately because our Christmas card that year.
