Our house, a few (hundred) shots

 Finally! I take out my camera instead of my tools and cleaning supplies!
Here is the boys bedroom, missing Zions bed on the right, but you get the idea :




 beautiful aspen trees outside ther window
 Imani;s room is a light shade of peach, but in this pic with the setting sun it turned this glowing pink
 Dining room




paper mache'd light switch covers
the sun room, soon to be filled with shelves,plants and who knows what else?


                                    kids table






 the garden:  in here is basil, parsley, lots of sunflowers, strawberries, sage, cucumbers, zucchini's and sorrel for my Z, who loves to pluck and eat the leaves


  roses in the front,  and our mailbox
 found this little enamel shelf for 5$ at a garage sale, an ugly dark green, I spray painted it turquoise, and a tiny armchair for the kids
 The playroom, its is the size of half our old house, WOW



 Behind this curtain my friends, is a little yellow room with the washer drier, NEATLY HIDDEN
 There is this perfect little bushy nook in the yard, Imani dragged her little red chairs there, and sometimes her brother joins her, they even have a pretend doorbell made of leaves
 Giant buckeye tree that dwarfs our picnic table is fantastically shade giving, and the garden shed door I painted red

 chicks and hens, so happy these succulents, among the rockbeds
new Catalpa tree, housewarming present from uncle Toby

 driving out under beautiful colorado skies
Those who saw this place when we bought it will find it unrecognizable (mom) 
but hubby and I know the exact toll it took to get it to this point, 
and so I congratulate myself, and him, for  the amazing amount of work and love that went into 
getting this home ready for our family
a giant thank you as well to all the friends and family who have helped tremendously along the way
here is to many dinner parties, playdates (we can finally host!) and
 happy years to come!
Happy Monday

baby M 17 months

 This little nugget turned 17 months on the 8th of June, he is just as sweet and delicious (and busy!) as always, he calls me "mamma mamma mamma" 50 times a day, and it melts me.



Happy tuesday

Fathers day

I realize every mother and wife loves the sight of their partner with their little ones, and I am no different, yet I cant help but think there is no one quite as beautiful as this father, I fell in love while him watching him play so skillfully with my friends children in Panama, even though he was only 19,  I looked at him and KNEW :
just knew that this was the man I wanted to have babies with.
Chocolate and baby milky chocolate, melt my heart


I could post about 100.000 more, but I will stop here.
Happy monday, 
and a little late, happy fathers day to this most outstanding, dedicated and loving father.
