Random July photos

I just love this picture of Isabel

Half Bath

We enjoyed the result of the upstairs bathroom so much, we jumped right into the next project. I was really happy to find the original pictures of this bathroom from when we moved in. Man, this house needed a makeover! We definitely stretched our imaginations to see its potential...and now we are finally making that a reality.

Upstairs Bathroom Remodel

I appreciate the cool collage that Mario made with the bathroom remodel pictures, but I wanted to post them this way so that if you wanted to view them bigger you could. Mario also did a great job of copying the angle of my before pictures exactly - although, I may not have picked the best angles in the first place. You'll just have to come visit us to see these in person.

A recap of May

Seeing as we are well in to June, I am going to recap May (minus Mother's Day, Luke's ordination, and our bathroom renovation). First a note, after the ordination and being embarrassed by Sheila's hair, I've made an effort to try to do something with it every day. As soon as she pulls it out, I'd do it again. After a week, I think I successfully trained her to be vain. (great)

I think I have captions for most pictures...these are the events:

Joey's first football team and game
Mario's second football season
Trip to Charleston, SC for a wedding
Hanging out with the Hanson family
Field Day at St. Theresa
Ashburn Farm Summer Kick Off on memorial day weekend (games, food, fireworks, FUN!) Sheila was super brave to go on the ride and wanted me to spin it more. Many a kid got sick from it - we all made it off okay.
MJ's Kindergarten graduation

Happy Easter and 30th Birthday

Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I really had the BEST birthday! God perfectly planned my 30th birthday to fall on Easter - so that's really all I needed. Mario and the kids outdid themselves with treating me so wonderfully. Thank you to Tabitha and Babu for hosting Easter and Tabitha for making so many delicious meals for me (my birthday wish was to not have to think about food, but to eat until I was stuffed - so I was definitely at the right house). Mario made a superb cake, the weather was gorgeous...I really couldn't have asked for me. My other birthday desire was to take many pictures - Mario, who doesn't like to take pictures - doesn't realize how lucky he is that he got away doubling up on Easter and birthday pictures.

A few fun ones from the end of March

I couldn't let this picture of our sweet Isabel go un-shared. And while I was at it, I included a few more from the end of March and early April.



I think I have captions for many of these pictures.

That's my brother!

Bobby, you are awesome!
