Paint Job

We've wanted to paint our kitchen/dining room wall since we moved in last Thanksgiving, but never had a chance to until now.  We chose a slate blue color that looks great at all times of the day.  Although, it looks more blue than slate blue in the picture.  A little splash of color has really done wonders for our place!!

Puppy Play

Daisy is four months old today!  She is growing like a weed and loves her doggy life.  She is great with people and especially loves her best bud, Bela.  Our new friends, and Bela's parents, named Bela after the bluegrass singer Bela Fleck.  Bela, the puppy, is the same age as Daisy, so sharing the experience of being new dog owners give us a lot to talk about.  Thomas and I are so excited to have met people we can hang out with while our dogs play.

So This is 26...

My friends and I celebrated my 26th year of life by going to dinner and frolicking around town in Center City.  The night was lovely.  We had dinner at a hibachi restaurant, enjoyed beverages and mingled at some bars, had the BEST gelato, and then finished off the evening at one of our favorite wine bars, Tria.

Daisy's First Creek Walk!

Being Thomas Jefferson

Carter's 3rd grade class took a research project to a whole new level by demonstrating their knowledge in the form of a wax museum.  They had to choose a relatively famous person and research that person's life from birth to death/present.  At the very end of their project, they held a live wax museum in the library for their families to observe.  Not only were they dressed in character, but they did a fabulous job pretending to be wax figures - they didn't make eye contact with guests and they held completely still for what probably felt like eternity to them.  Very impressive performances by all!

Carter did a great job at being Thomas Jefferson!  I had to photograph him wearing a lacy ruffled shirt because I'll probably never see that on him again.  He was definitely the cutest Thomas Jefferson I've ever seen :)

A Dollop of Daisy...

Meet Daisy!

We got a puppy!

Her name is Daisy and she is a 12 week old Golden Retriever.  We got her on Sunday, so we haven't had a lot of time with her, but we can tell she is going to be an amazing dog!  She is too cute for words and has the sweetest demeanor.  Can't wait to document her growth and cuteness in the coming months.  I think this blog may turn into a puppy blog!
