Before & after pics of Siena's new haircut. She's been asking for over a year and I finally broke down and took her. Mrs. Kae from church cut it for her. Siena got a little wiggly toward the end, but for the most part she cooperated. She looks like a completely different kid. She's very excited about it (she even told her teachers about getting her haircut today).
My Grandfather made this doll house for my Mom (Gramma) when she was a little girl and then he updated it for me when I was 4 years old. We've kept it in storage all these years. Over the past few weeks Gramma & Grampa have been updating it for the girls. She did such a great job! The girls love it. They're actually getting along while they play with it (which is very rare these days). The girls room is painted and decorated similar to Siena & Lilli's room (with pink and purple and their initials on the beds).
This is our new house! We're so excited that we're finally in and pretty much unpacked. We're settling in nicely but thought it would be nice to share some photos for those who aren't in town to see the house. We love the area, we're both within 20 minutes of work and church and less than 10 minutes from the preschool. It's a convenient location. Most of the decorating is done (except for a little bit of painting in the 2 bedrooms). The girls theme is pink & purple princesses and butterflies. The playroom is a good size with shelves for all of their books. I'm also going to set up the crib as an art studio for them. We bought a new dining room table which came with 4 tall chairs and 2 barstools (which we have at the bar in the kitchen). We also bought a new couch (called a Klik-Klack that lays out like a futon). There is no carpet in the house (Yeah!!!!) There is a nice size back yard with a shed in the back. The chicken coop is in process (yes, we are going to have chickens again!) We're going to tear down the fenced dog run eventually. We also planted some herbs in the planter right outside the front door.
