Moving Up "The List"


OK. I try not to focus too much on "The List"...The waiting list that is. That being said, I'm happy to report that we're in the top 10! Actually, we're either #6 or #7 I think. There were many referrals over July 4th & 5th. There was another referral yesterday. Not everyone on "the list" participates on the forum. So the actual list belongs to Dillon Staff alone....And, there are many variables that could cause referrals to be made out of order, so, that being said... We're in the Top 10! Yippee! Now, more waiting. :) Here's a cute pic of me & the boys at the zoo. I just had to take it myself for proof that I actually do things with my children! I'm always the photographer, so tons of pictures of the boys & the daddy! Someday when they're grown I can prove to them that I WAS THERE! :)

Now One With Missing Teeth!


And then there was one twin with his two front teeth missing! Long story, short ending; Blake has lost his two front teeth! Needless to say, his brother is quite jealous. The tooth fairy needs to think quick! This was totally not on her list today! :)

The High~Chair




OK, depending upon the little one's age, I don't know if she'll be able to use this right away, BUT I LOVE IT! Mom & Dad had an old high chair in storage; Dad was worried it was lead based paint. So, I sanded it, primed it and painted it a vintage shabby green. I found the most adorable transfers & put them on the other day. It turned out so cute! It will be great for nieces/nephews until she can use it. It looks so darling in my kitchen...can you tell I LOVE IT!

The Room


My friend in Troy, AL. Carlene, came through & custom made our daughter's bedding. I got it in the mail a few weeks ago and it is so cute. Here is the fabric. She made the bedskirt, a top blanket lined in the sage green color and also a toy bag that ties to the crib. It is accented in black & white gingham fabric. I just love it! I have cleared out "Grandmama's room" where she stays when she comes. I am going to buy the paint & hopefully get started painting in mid~late July. I am having trouble with a decision on the color. The pale/sage green (I'm worried it might be a bit dark), or the pale pink. I like both choices! I'll post the photos of the room when I'm done. :)
