This is a picture of our niece Baby J. She is enjoying her bath at our house way back in September. She was only 7 weeks old in these pictures.
Here she is after her bath, all nice and clean. You have to love the smell of a nice clean baby.
Happy Birthday Sharon!!
We did get a picture of Baby J. with her grandpa. She was doing just fine as long as she could see mommy or daddy. She didn't want them to leave her sight tonight. Those darn teeth still haven't popped through and are still giving her some trouble.
Sharon got these flowers from one of her sons and his family that live in California. We had a nice visit. I'm sure she is back on the couch curled up in her blankets by now.
We just love our new light fixture. It is so much nicer than the 1970's chandelier that was in there.
The light from it is soooo..... much softer and relaxing.
This is a close-up of what the new textured walls look like.

The plastic is gone, the floor has been vacuumed and mopped and the ivy rug is back in place. We are almost ready to have a dinner party. (Oh, wait the kitchen is going to be torn apart next week.)
I'm sure we will be posting lots of kitchen pics.
We showed them to Baby J.'s mommy last night, so it is O.K. for us to show everyone else.
This is the same plant today. I took it when I got home from work.
We had some rain Sunday and the dirt splashed on the flower making it look like it has freckles. We sure do need to get some mulch.
While relocating my Crocus, I must have missed one. This was the only one growing on the back side of our deck. I will have to move it once it stops blooming.
Click on photos to enlarge. When we downloaded the pictures, we were surprised to see the purple coloring on the base of the flower. Has anyone else seen this before?
This is the first garden we planted when we moved into our house. There were 10 foot tall bushes there that we cut down and dug out. The bushes blocked the view around the corner when cars were trying to turn. 
We built this garden a couple years later. The fence was an anniversary gift from Laurie's mom. Our neighbors told us it was an "eye sore", but compared to what was there, we think it looks great.
This is the mess that came out of the back garden. Chris pulled the truck out front to gather up the leaves and sticks from out there, and we loaded the rest up in the driveway.
As you can see, the back end of the truck is very full. Sure hope the yard waste dump opens soon!
