Sunday afternoons

Brace yourselves for my half-dressed boys.  That always happens on Sundays- just trying to remember Adam and Eve.  Who can resist the good looks and charm?


Here's Owen attempting to crawl.  He started in the middle of the rug and worked backwards.  He looks kind of like a beached walrus that needs some rescuing...


And a hair cut.  He's been called a girl 3 times in the past week.  And one time he was in a suit!


Yes, the 3 most handsome boys in my life.

The plane room

For the first 2 years in our house, we never decorated Grant's room.  We talked about Disney characters and Winnie the Pooh themes but it all seemed too babyish.  When Owen came along and we knew the boys would be sharing a room, we had change those boring white walls.  Grant loves planes and we all love to travel, so we came up with this theme and we love how it turned out.  Check out the mobile!  Will designed, cut and assembled each piece by hand, then rigged up some wires to hang and balance the planes.  He must have put 25 hours into that mobile, but at least we didn't spend the $95 at Pottery Barn on the generic one they were selling.  The other antique planes were bought at Hobby Lobby, using half-off coupons and the map cost us a few dollars.  Will added a chair railing and beautiful blue paint for some color.  I scored the bedding for cheap at IKEA.  All in all... a very sucessful project.
