the hope of things to come....

We aim to make our cornflower blue bedroom a thing of the past... I'm a much bigger fan of light butter yellow. I tried out a couple of coats this past weekend and boy did it improve things:














Alecia's painting deserves a better background that what it had:














I'm excited to have Alecia and T (our pastor's wife & painter extraordinaire) coming over in a couple of weeks to finish the room with me. Can't wait!!

In other news, I'm sick with a sinus cold and Riley is NOT to blame this time. He hasn't been sick for weeks (praise God!), so I figure that I stuck my fingers near my eyes, nose or mouth one too many times and gave myself someone's cooties. I've got my other brother Brian flying in from New Zealand for a brief visit and I just hope to have my strength back by Saturday when we "do" Boston.

Riley is doing great. Still practicing his walking, destroying anything we build out of his toys, chasing his mini-basketball around the house and now is making a complete mess at mealtime. My days of giving him a bath once or twice a week are over:














He's been enjoying spaghetti as I blog... time to sign off and clean my kid.

I love my messy boy!

Oh! just wait until he gets into dirt and else...and bubble bath! my recommendation is that you should keep a futon far away from bubble bath. And may be keeping Zippy away from the whole thing will be a super good idea since she is an expert of making unique mess.
