Under the Sea...in our bathroom!

In our family, and probably most others I know, new babies bring more home improvement projects. Of course we are redoing Ellie's room of five years to fit a little boy, we've moved the girls into bunk beds in Aubrey's room (now for the two of them and they're doing great) and we've finally tackled the 'guest/kids' bathroom upstairs. It was the last room to have lovely black, gray and pink wallpaper in it and it was time to go. When I saw this set at Target, I knew that was it!  I hesitated on the pirate octopus but Brian said we had to have it for Ethan, so I went back and got it.


Dad came over to help install beadboard and paint this weekend and it turned out great (well, it's not quite finished but close enough)! I'll post pictures when it's done. He and Brian only made like 20 trips to Lowe's to get various things throughout the weekend. I sure hope one of those receipts lands us that $2500 gift card they say it will!

Baby Boy

Poor thing - I keep calling him Baby Boy but he does have a name! It's actually kind of endearing - we're so used to everything being girlie, that it's fun to say 'boy'. Ellie keeps saying 'Mommy, he has a name!' And he does...

Ethan Robert Wolfe

And here's what the room may look like...We painted navy this weekend and it looks really good - thanks Brian and Dad!  And Auntie Rachel picked up the striped sheets for us in Atlanta - thank you!

It was a great year...

Ellie and Aubrey both had wonderful year's in school this year. I am happy for the summer, though and thankful Aubrey doesn't have to go to school next year, although we were very blessed by her teachers and her school this year.

Here's Aubrey with Mrs. Venita and Mrs. Lillian on the last day!
