Product skepticism

In my post two c section state of desperation, I put my skeptic prejudices aside and opted to give this new market rage a try. I expected, of course, no change. Working out may have kept me slim, but it's doing nothing for that baby tum. I'm now in my own state of heaven- no surgery results here, but were talking enough to give a little more confidence. I'll spare the guys who read this photos of my own stomach. Go Nivea!

Almost done painting!

The world of paint around here is coming to a close. Here's some before and after shots. Bonus? We got the cover up this summer on that whole house fan Tony installed- goodbye hole in the celing =). The last wall inthe living room will be finished today. Then we just have a couple little things left and one bathroom!

God blessed our family...

Last year we got little Bella when she was just a couple months old. Within two days of getting her we realized she was getting sick. She was diagnosed with Parvo Virus. Bella was given a 25% chance to live. So, I pleaded with the vet to give me needles, injectable fluids, and vitamins for bella. He gave her an IV shot of them all and Tony and I administered subcutaneously twice daily at home. She couldn't eat or drink, and she was expelling her intestines and lots of blood and other things. It was heartbreaking. The first picture is of her sick. We had to keep her covered up and very still. This weekend we celebrated our Bella's first birthday. And a new labor day tradition was born. Happy birthday, little doggy. Our prayers were answered.

A little more paint

We finally painted the gold for the living and dining rooms. LOVE the color. It's so peaceful in here now. I want to spend the whole day in this room. But then the chaos would have to follow me and folding laundry and doing sit-ups in here somehow ruins it! Anyway we couldn't be happier with the paint. Negative? The whole experience led us to decide the drapes we chose are going to have to go, coloring is all wrong... we're thinking a cranberry colored drape. By the way- look at that ceiling! The weird picture is to show you how high we were able to get the paint above the door way. I'm quite proud of that!
