New Things

I LOVE this table. I know that sounds funny, but not to me. My dad had this table BEFORE my parents were married. Once they were married, my very mechanically talented dad decided to show his new bride how handy he was and re-finish the table. He worked extremely hard to remove the finish by sanding the table down. And that's where he stopped! My entire life, we had this table. There are markers on it from Hayley and I coloring on it for years. When they got a new kitchen table, I couldn't see it going anywhere but in my kitchen for my girls to color on! I loved the table and the memories, but it needed an update. Tim's mom is taking wood shop and it is great, because I had a project for her. What do you think???









I think is looks great! I know we need to get new chairs, but I want to wait until Brooklyn is a little older and not throwing every meal on the floor and the chair below her. Thank you Pat!

Pat is so talented and crafty! She made this bookshelf for the girls. Isn't it cute!

BEFORE



AFTER



The girls LOVE it. It gets all of their toys (ok, some of their toys) out of bins and up where they can see them. Thank you Pat! We love them!

I LOVE both the table and the bookshelf. How sweet that you have that table!

A Place to Remember

I wanted to have a place that I could remember all the things the girls do as they are growing up. They change so fast and life is just a little to busy to always make time to write it all down. I hope that one day, they will be able to read all the good times we shared and remember some of their own.
