A few more things we’re doing…

1)  First, we finally met Clara Bernhart!!  It was such a fun time visiting with ALL of the Bernharts (minus Annie) when Jay, Brad, and Charlotte spent some time in Phoenix with Margene and Gordon.  But let’s face it – the baby steals the show!

2)  Soaking up some sun!  OK, we’ve been having some rain too but the sunshine has been glorious.  [I actually let Elayna wear JEANS in these pictures.  Aren’t they cute!?]

3)  Taking some power naps.  Oh wait – that might just be Shelby.IMG_0626

4)  Crossing some house projects off the list!  First, Elayna’s long awaited new bed…

New bed!  We built a platform from bookshelves on their sides, then laid plywood and a mattress on top.  It’s very sturdy, has storage underneath, and super cute.  Elayna’s slept great too!  The ‘dresser’ (shelving unit on the left) is the same style.  I’m hunting decorative boxes to put underneath and we’ve lost the curtains somewhere in the move.  But we’re getting there…

5)  Next:  handles!  This has been a labor of love for Aaron to add all the door handles to our cabinets.  Still not completely done but coming along nicely.

6)  Lastly, saying farewell to the old house.  Ok, I’m being dramatic – it’s still ours and we’ll still visit.  However, our renters moved in on Sunday so its not really ‘ours’ anymore.  While I’m ecstatic about the new house and love the million little house projects we have brewing, it still was hard to say good-bye to our first home.  I hope it has a peaceful and safe 2-years.
