Still February 2010

Ari had a birthday a party. There was a fun pinata,



and a mad scrambling for candy.

Laura made this darling birthday cake.

Opa and Aunty Em spent time with Bree.

February 2010

In January and February we worked on the solarium,
the walk through from the house to the pool.

The ceiling is painted a flat blue. We matched the paint to the can light trim. Here, Keith is finishing up the crown molding. We found this fantastic ceiling fan that just seems to add the right touch. It is a nice room.

It's been a LONG Time

By way of explanation, we have been through a difficult time with my Mom, and serious illness since February. Things seem to be under better control, and she is once again home. I am playing catch up at home, etc. and can finally start to blog. I think that I will do this in sections, and try to catch up to the best of my ability.



In January my Mom gave me one her prized possessions. It is a walking doll, made of wood. My Dad gave it to her just before she left Holland and immigrated to the U.S. We were never allowed to play with her, but once in a while, Mom would show us how she walked.

She has safely moved from my Mom's fireplace hearth, to my fireplace hearth. Thank you, Mom, for such a wonderful gift!
