Look Who Flew in for the Weekend!!!

Brad a
nd Kara were here from Arizona this weekend. We had a great time with them painting... :) they also went out with friends and spent time at the Durhams.

The house painting was going great and I was really excited how well the colors were matching my 'vision' until we got to the butler's pantry. Just a note, pumpkin orange,
although a beautiful harvest color and goes well with green and wine colors for decorations, just doesn't look that well covering a wall. We'll have to redo that little room area! We should find out about the flooring today and when it will all be in. That will determine when we can move in the furniture. I can't wait!!!

Jennifer was the bravest child of the weekend, taking on the 20-foot entry way area. She cut in the ceiling line and corners. Ron climbed up to the top to get the painting done. It was pretty scary to watch!!! Saturday we stopped the painting for a little while to gather everyone for a picture. You'll have to wait until Christmas to see those results. There is, of course, a Drew picture for the weekend. (Hey - until there are others, he gets all the attention!!!) Drew likes chow mein noodles! You can sure tell he's getting older and looking all around, harder to take a picture of. In all the family pictures and most of the ones of just Matt and Ashley, Drew is looking all different directions. He's getting harder to hold still and just wants to run off! Rebekah and Dave were also around helping out. It was fun to have all the kids together again. It sure gets harder to match schedules and coordinate everybody! Until next time. . .
