Christmas & Brayden Update!

Christmas was a fun but exhausting day - we started off opening presents at home (got an ottoman for my chair, and lots of other goodies), then off to BIL's for Christmas lunch and time with Rob's family, then 90-minute drive to my parents' house for Christmas with them, my sister, niece, and nephew.
Brayden is doing so good, he's a chubby little guy! He smiles and laughs a lot. He's teething so he just chewed away on my hand. I guess it tasted yucky, because he'd chew, then make a funny face, then chew, then giggle lol. Lexi had a great day, and was thrilled to receive her Fur Real Parrot from her mommy. Here's both kids with my sister (their mom), then a pic of just Brayden:

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

I Scrapped!

I finally did some scrapbooking! I did 7 pages between last night and today. Here are 6 of them:

First time my niece Lexi met her new baby brother, Brayden, when he came home from the hospital at 3 weeks old.

Brayden's pouty face (4 months old).

First time I held Brayden - he was still in the hospital and two weeks old.

Thanksgiving 2007 at our house.

Thanks for looking! :)

House paint!

We got our house painted last week and are very happy with the new color and the quality of the work. We used Dynamic Painting (http://www.dynamicpaintingusa.com/). One of their painters came out one morning to pressure wash the whole house, driveway, and walkway, the next day he was here filling cracks, then over two days painted the whole house. Here are some pics.
This one doesn't show the color real well, but you can see how nice it looks!

This is our front door. I'm getting used to the color, it seems to have looked nicer on the paint chip lol. It's a color I like, just not sure I like it with the house color.

This is the back of the house. You can get a better idea of the color in this picture.


If you need your house painted and want to see ours in person, feel free to stop by! And I don't know if they give anything for references, but mention Rob's name (ROB RYAN) just in case lol :)
