Erin is 3!

Our little baby turned 3 today! We are so proud of the big girl she has become. I'll write another post about all of her accomplishments, but today we partied! All the pictures are HERE. We had so much fun with lots of friends and family at Crowder Park for her very first big birthday party. We had chips, pizza, salad, fruit, and a cookie cake with letter sugar cookies too!



The party theme was ABCs, and Elmo and Abby balloons made a surprise appearance!

Erin had a great time, and we are so happy that everyone could make it!

Done!

The great decorating project of 2011 has finally been completed! 3 months of working an hour or less a day has finally yielded 11 window treatments. Some turned out better than others, but they are all presentable enough that I don't feel like I have to fix or redo them right now. So, without further ado:

Laundry room:
Half bath:
Top of stairs:

Bottom of stairs:
Office:
Erin's room:
Anna's room (awaiting hooks to hang the tiebacks):
Bonus room:

Master bath toilet room:
Master bath around the tub:
Perhaps my next endeavor should be photography. It is tough (for me) to get good pictures of windows! There is a story behind each one that I will not bore you with...but if you ever want to hear, just ask! I had a lot of fun making them, and if anyone is looking for the "homemade look", I would be happy to make some for anyone! You just can't be on a strict timeline :)

Oh, and our office has a new item, courtesy of Craigslist and Josh's truck (and Josh):
