House Projects!

House projects are extremely difficult for us to accomplish since the twins came along, and we finally this week got around to picking out paint colors and hiring painters to paint the outside of our house. I'm so glad we did; I love it! Here is the before from when we first moved in:

Like? Dislike? I was a little worried about using black.

Our next project is to finish off our 2nd story loft into a 4th bedroom. Hopefully that will be accomplished sometime this summer. The day that the painters pressure washed the house, Nora freaked! She's such a sweet little 'fraidy cat.

I think we're overdue some new pictures of Cara and Nora, so here are some recent ones. I'm really going to try to update this blog more!












They are loving the backyard lately, and I've just realized how brilliant west-facing homes are in Texas. From about 2:30 on, we have tons of shade in the backyard from the 2 story house! Cara really likes their baby pool, and Nora looooves watching bubbles. She occasionally catches them, but it always seems to shock her when they pop. :)
