Dining Room Makeover

Well, I talked about my interest in primitive decorating, but I've not shared any photos of my home, nor have I done any projects since I started my blog. I have finally made a decision which room and project I will begin with. We are going to be replacing the carpet in the dining room with hardwood flooring (white pine) within the next few weeks. I have never been satisfied with the paint color in this room, so I will be re-painting and tweaking this room as my first project. I will also be re-flooring the entry way with the same wood floor as the dining room and re-painting it as well. Wish me luck!

So, I will keep you all posted of the changes as we make them, and hope that very soon, I will have the finished project ready to show~ !

Wednesday with Gramma!

As you all know, I have the privilege of babysitting my granddaughter, Audrey on Wednesdays each week. This, of course, is the very best day of the week for me! She is growing so fast and changing so much each and every week right now. She now has facial recognition, luckily for me, she recognizes me and gives me one of her great big smiles each time she sees me! She is sitting up quite well on her own, and loves reaching for her toys. As you will see in my photos, she also is interested in the tv remote. Isn't it amazing how early that interest develops. She also loves Grandma's cell phone, mainly for chewing on it though! Speaking of chewing, just this week she has had two bottom teeth come in. I will say though, I had forgotten how busy it is watching a little one. By the time you change them, feed them, short nap them, feed them, change them & play --- that's your day! I wouldn't want it any other way either! I can't wait for the weather to get nice so we can have some outside time . . . work in the flower beds and talk some walks and golf cart rides! She did have her first golf cart ride this week, which put her to sleep! Hmmm, there's a thought! LOL!

Her Mommy has had a very busy week herself. Daddy is away at a training seminar and Mommy is working and taking care of little Audrey by herself. I know they both will be so glad to him!

Wow! Did we ever have a great couples shower for a wonderful young couple - Andy & Alexis. We have been friends with Alexis' parents for about 17 years and have watched her grow from a young girl into a beautiful, warm-hearted successful young lady. We were so happy for her when she met and fell in love with Andy. We anxiously awaited to meet him for the first time. . . to see if he would meet with our approval as well! I am happy to report - he did! He is a wonderful, funny and sweet man. He has a wonderful family who treats Alexis as their own - what more could you ask for~? We can't wait for the wedding in June~it will be awesome!
