What We've Been Up to the Past Month or So

Well, Hazel was so cute, we thought we'd buy her a house.

Maybe it wasn't exactly for that reason, but we did buy a house! yay!

And cute little Hazel DID turn 7 months old the day we closed. yay!

So, we bought this lovely home and decided to tear it all up!

Good-bye carpet...

YIKES.

Hello painting!! lots and lots of it! I think I went through 10 gallons of paint in one week.

And hello to lots and lots of sub-floor! In't purdy?

And good-bye to Jason's smiles...for a little while.

Look at that man, hard at work at something he's never done before. And why not?

Maybe because this room took 3 days...but it sure looks good!

In the midst of our chaotic work schedule, we couldn't find Charlotte...

After looking all over, guess where we found her?

Curled up in the curtains in the master bedroom! Sound asleep!

Speaking of Charlie, she's just a little excited about finally having a purple room!

And after a little dilberation, Berkley went with the fist pump to show she's pleased with her green room.

And Hazel, well, she's just happy to be getting out of that pack and play and back in a comfy crib!

Oh, and she also gets to have a REAL BATH finally! Her blow-up bath was packed away in storage the past 4 months, so she's had to make do with a sponge bath. So not fun. She's truly loving bathtime now.

And just tonight Berkley was in a musical at school called "Down by the Creek Bank" put on by the 1st-3rd graders. She did a great job singing and doing actions. Cute little play actually.

(She was embarrassed that Mom made her wear suspenders, so be sure to tell her how cool she looks in them.)

Here's a little video of Hazel's fun in the tub.

I'll try to do better now that we're sleeping more regularly and trying to ease back into life! Between working on the house (painting, putting in floors, and did I mention we tore out the kitchen too?), lacrosse season, and school activities, we seemed to have missed a month of our lives! But things are good! It's all very good. :) Stay tuned for Easter pictures asap.
