3 weeks and nothing to show

because I'm not ready to show pictures of what we've been doing for the last 3 weeks. We've been hosting Costa Ricans, tearing out bathroom and kitchen floors, replacing said floors with new flooring, replacing sinks and countertops, painting, replacing light fixtures, decluttering, packing most of the stuff that was cluttering, cleaning and going crazy. We are attempting to sell our house! Well, actually our friend Seth Jenson is attempting to sell our house. We'll let you know how it goes. We have a few projects we need to finish up before I post any pictures of our "new" house. At least we know that if no one wants to buy our house, we'll be happy with all the new improvements. I think I have a pretty good excuse as to why I only have a handful of pictures from the past few weeks - and sadly, none of Donovan. Oh well, we'll all get over it.



It's good to know that Nina hasn't changed during all the chaos. She still loves a good mess. Above - Nina learning to apply mascara. Below - Nina eating beans and rice. Not pictured - Nina after she took a paint roller (loaded with paint) and painted herself, the wall and the carpet in her room. Serves me right for leaving paint down while I took care of Cameron.



Cameron is still a pretty happy guy.



Matt got to escape the madness quite a bit. The Nuggets game was just one of the nights of fun he had with the 20 kids + 3 teachers who visited Littleton from Costa Rica. Yeah, they didn't all stay at our house.





I was so happy when Pam got this shirt for Cameron. For some reason, Howie hates this shirt and the only way I can get him to wear it is to put Cameron in it first. All of the sudden Howie thinks it's a good enough shirt to wear, but only when Cam is wearing it.

Janelle,

Where are you guys moving? Have you already found a house? That's exciting. Hope the home selling goes well.
