Besides having the baby in a few weeks, we do have two other children, so here they are:
This is David, me and Alex at his Bronze medal presentation during church. Getting the bronze medal of achievement is sort of like trying to earn your Eagle Scout. They do a lot of the same things. This is just a step toward getting his Silver Medal and finally, the Gold Medal of Achievement. But a lot of boys don’t even get this far, so we are very proud of Alex!
Here we are pinning the medal on Alex. In case you were wondering, we are both wearing white because that’s what we wear to do worship, we didn’t feel like we had to match or anything geeky like that….
Beth’s new room. We had to scrape all the paint off the walls, because whoever built the house failed to prime the plaster, so when we were moving Alex out of here, we took pictures off the wall, but the tape took about 5 layers of paint of the wall, down to the plaster. It was NOT fun to scrape all that paint off, but necessary. Now her room is a lovely orange color with a new bedspread from her birthday and new curtains. We also put in a ceiling fan and she loves it. This is a view from the hallway.
Beth looking at her new room from the doorway. This picture was taken inside the room looking at the hallway.
Another view of the room. I don’t think you can see, but we also put laminate flooring in, since Alex’s carpet was trashed. (It was the original carpet that came with the house.)
Little Chinese lanterns Beth picked out to string across her room. This is the other window in her room, with new curtains.
So that is what we have been busy with. Moving children to different rooms, pinning medals on our son and getting baby’s room ready. Soon, I will have pictures of Emily’s room for you to enjoy.
